Now that the official movie trailers for both adaptations of the story of beloved fairy tale character Snow White have come out, let the battle begin!

In the first corner we have Kristen Stewart, starring as Snow White, and the ever so lovely Charlize Theron as the wicked Queen in the movie titled Snow White and the Huntsman. This version of the story has a dark and mysterious overtone to it. The Queen is portrayed as evil and frightening and sends the Huntsman out for Snow White in what seems to unfold in a story of suspense, action and epic battles.
In the other corner we have the sweet Lily Collins cast as Snow White and one of America’s sweethearts, Julia Roberts, as the Queen starring in Mirror, Mirror. Now, this adaptation is much different than the previously mentioned because it has more of a comedic feel. Roberts plays a more sarcastic and humorous Queen as opposed to Theron’s devilish character and the “battles” that take place in effort to capture Snow White are a little less epic and more … whimsical, if you will.
So despite using the same classic story line and both having some much appreciated eye candy -- Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman and then Armie Hammer as the Prince -- the movies themselves are as different as black and white. It all depends on your mood as to which one you choose to see. If you’re wanting a happy-go-lucky feel and a good chuckle, then Mirror, Mirror is the one for you. However, if a more serious, dark and suspenseful feel is what you’re after then Snow White and the Huntsman is what you’re looking for — but hey, who says you can’t see them both?!
