"New 'Snow White and the Huntsman' trailer is as dark as a real fairy tale," tweeted Forbes.com, the official website for Forbes business magazine.

Critics contend that the new film is no child friendly fairy tale, but rather reflects the darker, more action-packed side of story plots, as seen through the films "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight."

Fashion magazine Marie Claire for the United Kingdom tweeted Tuesday morning that the trailer looks "scary," and that Kristen Stewart "looks fierce."

The plot of the film declares that the only way for the evil queen to maintain her eternal, youthful beauty is for her to eat the heart of Snow White."

"'Snow White and the Huntsman' trailer: Charlize Theron wants to eat Kristen Stewart's heart," tweeted celebrity gossip website Entertainment Weekly.

In the original fairytale, which hails from Germany but was re-created and made popular by The Walt Disney Company, involves the Queen simply wanting to kill Snow White, and the huntsman having to deliver Snow White's heart in a box to prove he had killed the young beauty.

Critics argue that director Rupert Sanders and producers Joe Roth and Sam Mercer are trying to add a major "wow factor" in this remake of a classic.
