Re: Snow White and the Huntsman - Chick Flick in disguise?
My wife and I agreed with the Troll scene - what did it bring to the film? It showed a monster wouldn't attack her because she was 'beautiful' and that she didn't run, therefore saving the Huntsman - but emotionally it was silly, and the fact that the troll never reappears was a let down (that was one of the coolest looking pieces of the film).
As for copying - I can buy The Hunger Games, because yeah, there are other stories also like that (Stephen King had one, I believe). But watch Princess Mononoke, then the scene from Snow White, there is no doubt - the only difference is the thing kept its head.
