I want Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, and Charlize Theron to take turns beating the shit out of me.

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.

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…
Review by Jared ★½ 4

A tragic tale of three goddesses who fell victim to greed and rapacity, lured into the trap of an awful film and in turn wasting an enormous amount of talent on an undeserving creative vision.

Review by dyoung ★

A sequel nobody wanted that wastes its A-list actors. It is also features some of the worst Scottish accents I've ever heard, I'm looking at you Jessica Chastain. Give it a few more years an we will be getting the same film when Disney release their live action Frozen.
Review by Lillian Bernal ★★★

They got my attention when I saw Chris Hemsworth on the screen.
Remember guys, the most important thing in this world is love, heterosexual love (teloresumo, 2018).

god i wanna make out with jess chastain
Review by al ★½

after liking the first movie and it’s horror-esque artistic style, i’m so ruddy disappointed in this movie because they essentially threw the aesthetic of snow white and the huntsman, along with the tone, entire plot of the last movie and how it fits the films canon, and the huntsman character they had built up out of the window.
also plot holes???? everywhere????

charlize theron and emily blunt are the only things that stopped me from turning this off tbh:///
Review by Ford

Whatever mess they tried to revive from another mess they had with the first one... the only thing worth watching was Charlize Theron and Jessica Chastain’s acting. Emily Blunt was bland here, sorry.
Review by MRNasher ★★½

They spent money on effects.. but not on the plot or accent coaches.

Review by Richard Dy ★★½

"The Huntsman: Winter's War is visually arresting and boasts a stellar cast, but neither are enough to recommend this entirely unnecessary sequel."
