When Beith beats up the guard after exiting the sewer his pickaxe is not the one he had with him the rest of the movie. Its hammer side is clearly shorter in that scene as it basically ends where the handle meets the hard head of the pickaxe and earlier scenes there is clear distance between the end of the hammer side of the hard head and the handle.

The Huntsman:
[narration]
Once upon a time, in deep winter, a queen was admiring the falling snow, when she saw a rose blooming in defiance of the cold. Reaching for it she pricked her finger and three drops of blood fell. And because the red seemed so alive against the white she thought, "If only I had a child as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as a raven's wings, and all with the strength of that rose." Soon after a daughter was born to the queen and was named Snow White.

Very poor performance from Kristen Stewart. She keeps looking as if she is sitting on the toilet and doesn't convince nor captivate the audience in many scenes. At one point in the movie she gave the men a pep talk, one of the worst ever! Almost all her dialogues are poor and unconvincing.
The only thing that kind of kept me in the audience were the funny dwarfs. Also the CGI was pretty nice. But the bottom line remains, acting is the most important and especially that of the leading role...
Apart from Kristen, the other actors were OK, but unfortunately not enough to save the movie.
All in all a big disappointment!
