The Huntsman: Winter's War 2016

At times it feels like there's too much unnecessary talk and not much of a real war until the very last part. Very strong believable performance by Charlize Theron though.

Once upon a time an unnecessary prequel/sequel was made to the Snow White original. The film had its moments but was ultimately a letdown in terms of spectacle and story. The end.

Was with the first movie, I was quite bored with this one. At least this time they left out the horrible actress from #1, but the story and the whole execution was flat…

I watched this movie before and now I watched it again. I forgot, it's been a while. An excellent production. The last time it came was in 2016, but it hasn't arrived yet. I wish it had continued. And in the Snow White Movie, everyone was there except him. I wish it had been highlighted more, but it was a good series. You're the ice queen, I'm sorry. I wish the movie would continue, but it doesn't seem possible.

Did anyone really ask for this? The first movie wasn't anything that special and quite unnecessary when thinking about it, and so was this movie but even more unnecessary.

Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain are both solid actors that always give a good performances, but not in this movie. Chastain Scottish accent is so awful and so distracting that I'm surprise not a lot of people have bought this up. Emily Blunt dose what I call "The Eddie Ascending performance" where she talks really quite at the first and then out of nowhere just explode with rage.

Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are also in this movie...and both are given nothing to do.

Overall: "The Huntsman Winter’s War" is a joyless, empty, and a very dull flick that takes away the magic from a fairy tale.

I know this may not be a long detail review, but just like what Mike Stoklasa (RedLetterMedia) once said "Who gives a f**k."

Even if it's a sequel it's better played, funnier and more interesting than Snowhite - it doesn't happen very often ;>

I enjoyed it, think it´s way better than "Snow White". But I thought it´s supposed to be a prequel not a sequel. Isn´t it actually both ?

Oh, and there is no better Narrator than Liam Neeson. He could tell me the world is flat and I would buy in.

The story was mostly predictable but the scenes were well shot, there was great acting, the music was flawlessly integrated within the film.

Now we know what would happen if Elsa loses her mind on the next Frozen movie.

This was a nice watch, and Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt's performances were great. Unfortunately, the movie lacked any 'special' or memorable moments, which shouldn't have been that difficult to achieve in such a fantasy-filled world.

With a very weak first and second act and many errors this cannot be called an excellent movie. However, the third act makes more than up for the blandness. The ending makes the movie, in combination with a good atmosphere and nice visuals, into a movie worth watching.
Sheridan Smith (and Nick Frost in a lesser degree) take care of the (few) good laughs while Theron and especially Blunt are the most intriguing characters. I wish Emily's character had a bit more kick in her powers, especially in the final act, but then again It would've made Chris Hemsworth and Jessica Chastain's characters completely irrelevant if that was the case.
It is actually surprising that with such a great cast this movie isn't better than it is. The writing just isn't good enough to get it to that next level. A pity really.

It's difficult to imagine that filmmakers could compile such a great cast, then go so far off base w/ the script that it doesn't really make a difference. I've read where this was considered a prequel/sequel, but I don't see how that's possible, since the events of this story clearly took place after the first movie. To have that be the case and not have Kristen Stewart reprise her role as Snow White, it was the huge hole at the center of the story. Charlize Theron's primary motivation was killing Snow White, so how do you make that a central theme of a film w/out utilizing Snow White? Other than that, there really wasn't anything special about this story. It was standard fare for this type of film. One thing that stood out to me as bothersome were two scenes, where, when approached by opposing forces, Chris Hemsworth just stood there and was taken captive. It begged the question: Isn't your entire purpose in this film to protect the mirror, and kill the evil queen? What sense does it make to simply stand there and be captured...twice?!?

Marketed as a prequel (though it really isn’t), The Huntsman: Winter’s War is an action-packed fantasy adventure. It begins as an origin story, telling of how Eric was recruited and trained to be a huntsman for Freya, the queen of the north, but then it jumps forward several years to Queen Snow White tasking him with recovering Ravenna’s magic mirror (which has been stolen) and taking it to a sanctuary where its evil magic can be contained; but little does he know, Freya has learned of the mirror and wants its power for herself. Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, and Charlize Theron lead the cast and give strong performances. However, the storytelling is so trite and predictable that there’s no real mystery or suspense. Still, the action is exciting and there’s some fun comedy with the dwarves. While The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a bit of a mess, it’s entertaining and a step up from the previous film.

Even though an excellent cast (which includes Jessica Chastain as the new protagonist, Sarah, who can be more convincente at battles than the pure and innocent Snow White), the story of the movie can't reach the first one and just seems confuse.

It's nice to see what happened to the huntsman wife before and, also, to see a outcome to his love story, but it doesn't make any sense when you figure out that the flirting between Snow White and the huntsman in the first movie was completely forgotten or ignored here. Btw, Snow White becomes completely irrelevant, being shown only on her back, at short takes. Besides, the Freya plot doesn't seems to fit at the original storyline too, and remind a type of dark version of Elsa from Frozen, who was influenced by her worse sister, the Evil Queen Ravenna.

At the end, can be said that the movie has potential, but cannot demonstrate depth to the characters or even bring memorable scenes, getting lost on the way and deserving a 6/10.

This is kind of a prequel and a sequel to Snow White and The Huntsman. It is not as impressive as the first movie but quite good anyway. I would call it a nice family movie although probably not for the youngest members of the family.

The story is partly before and partly after the events in Snow White and The Huntsman. It is a good adventure with plenty of magic and special effects and a fair bit of action. It is a fairly straightforward story without much in terms of surprises.

There is a bit of comical relief in particular by the dwarfs, especially when the two dwarfs following the huntsman encounters the grumpy female one and her friend.

Apart from the classical Snow White setting, quite good special effects and quite decent action this is a fairly normal fantasy adventure movie. It is about two hours of good fun but does not really reach wow-status.

i loved Charlize act, and eh not so good movie.

this is not following the previous movie "snow white and the huntsman"!!! and if it does explain, but i think it's like it has it own direction.

Enjoyable fantasy film with great visuals. Emily Blunt was really good

A fotografia é perfeita, mas o conteúdo do filme parece recortes de vários contos de fadas.

The makeup and the costumes are just stunning.

I can't really recall the first movie.... But that voice/accent of the huntsman is just horrible. Is that Chris' real, own voice or what. Omg.
