I want Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, and Charlize Theron to take turns beating the shit out of me.
Review by matt lynch ★★ 2

So glad this is what we're offering some of our best actresses.
Review by Arielrocks5 ★★★ 3

A "Game of Thrones"/"Frozen" crossover featuring Chris Hemsworth doing his best Shrek impression and Jessica Chastain playing a live action Merida.

I don't get why it exists either but I guess I enjoyed it?
Review by Matt Singer ★★

I could watch a whole movie of Charlize Theron as a glammed-out evil sorceress, spewing black goo and trying to kill Chris Hemsworth. Sadly, this is not that movie.

five stars for whoever decided to cast jessica chastain emily blunt and charlize theron in the same movie and negative four stars for literally everything else
Review by James Haves ★★★★ 2

I can see why one wouldn't like The Huntsman: Winter's War. It's a sequel to a film that basically isn't remembered anymore, it has lots of CGI, and it's admittedly pretty silly.

And yet from the first time I saw the trailer I knew I would love The Huntsman.

Now, I haven't seen Snow White and the Huntsman since it came out, and don't really remember it that well. I do, however remember enjoying it quite a bit, and thought people were being unfairly harsh on it. I feel like The Huntsman is not only a film I will remember, but will defend for a while to come.

Of course it hasn't come out in the US yet, maybe American…

Such a waste of talent.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

In a nutshell: This cold ass dumb bitch revives her shiny ass crazy bitch sister and finds out she killed her baby.

Watched this only because it was going to be removed in some days on Netflix, and cause I had seen the first film in theaters and mildly enjoyed it. This is essentially the same thing, and a sequel that no one asked for. The highlights are some of the set-pieces and effects, and Charlize Theron chewing the scenery in her small role. The rest is your fairly generic fantasy adventure, with everyone being seemingly incapable of making a proper British/Irish/Scottish…
Review by friedgreengibbs ★½

Goshhhhhh such a wasted opportunity with so many incredible actresses! I’m so here for the gorgeous winter aesthetic and Colleen Atwood’s costumes and Jessica Chastain but ugh what a turd of a movie. This wants to be like an epic Lord of the Rings kind of thing but it just isn’t anywhere near the realm of being that good, which makes it impossible to take it as seriously as it wants to be taken (“she couldn’t raise a child...SO SHE RAISED AN ARMY.). Gosh and i hate when movies are like LOOK AT ALL OUR BADASS LADIES WHO are totally in a misogynistic script but um LOOKIT THEIR WEAPONS!

In all seriousness this would’ve been so much better if it had let all the women be queer. The queens’ costumes should still be being used in drag shows if this had allowed itself to be like fun or interesting. I’d love a good Snow Queen adaptation someday.
Review by Edoardo ★★½

Quite better than the first one. Also, having Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain in the same film is kind of my Hollywood erotic fantasy.
Review by Dan Gurden ★★★½

Fantasy sequel and uneccessary sequel to the alternate take on Snow White. Entertaining but hardly challenging.

Sheridan Smith, Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt are criminally underused and Rob Brydon makes for an amusing comedy sidekick dwarf with Nick Frost.

And I suddenly realise that I seem to be watching a lot of Chris Hemsworth movies of late?

só assisti pelo chris de novo
Review by Cindy Alanis ★★

por causa do cast eu esperei uma coisa bem melhor, pena que o roteiro é tão fraquinho.
Review by Cindy Alanis ★★

pelo cast ser tão bom, esperava bem mais, porém o roteiro achei bem franquinho.
