I went to watch this movie with a couple of friends; and by the end of first half hour, I was ruing the moment we made the decision to watch it. The main reasons are: 1. Kristen Stewart: Even though I'd read that she has plastic face which is incapable of expressing any emotions except maybe a crooked smile, I'd never thought the situation was so bad. Yesterday was the first time I realized that expression of emotions / acting can actually make a difference. She really sucks! I was just not able to connect with the movie as the main character seemed so artificial! 2. The movie itself: The new take on Snow White tale was good, but poorly brought together as a film. The dialogues and their delivery seemed corny. The characters, most of them, seemed to be forced into their roles. The acting was so bad that it was evident no one put their heart into their roles.

I normally like most movies; rare are those which I despise. And this was one of those. I'd seriously advise readers to save your money for any movie, but this!

I watched this movie a couple of days back and absolutely loved it! Partly because it was an unknown animation movie for me and therefore my expectations were next to nil. However, I'm sure that even if I had reasonably high expectations, they would have been surpassed by this movie.

All the characters in the movie are beans and actually quite cute. The lead character is a 'bean' (Killer Bean) who works for Shadow agency, a secretive group of highly skilled super-assassin beans. Then there are other important characters of Detective Cromwell, Capuccino (the mafia don) and Vagan (Capuccino's security head). The movie is not really about the story, it's the style with which the story and different sequences are delivered.

There are several action sequences backed with great background music. Use of slow motion and music creates some very impressive scenes in the movie.

Overall, a very highly recommended movie!
