Blunt and Chastain never manage to make their characters more than inevitable Comic-Con costumes, while Charlize Theron’s evil queen, carried over from the predecessor, is relegated to the status of a bookend threat.

The screenplay doesn't evoke much emotion and certainly fails to carve out a place in our memory banks.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 15, 2022

Fairytale lovers, angsty romance novel lovers, Chris Hemsworth lovers, watch The Huntsman: Winter's War.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2021

Helmed by first-time director Cedric Nicolas Troyan, the film's glorious visuals and passionate turns from the always-brilliant trio of Blunt, Theron and Chastain help negate the well-trodden fairytale narrative.

As before, Theron dominates the proceedings; unfortunately, she has about as much screen time as the Jawas in Star Wars.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Drones on for almost two hours until the narrator closes the movie with something to the effect of the story may be over "but fairy talks never end." That doesn't seem so much like an ending as it does a threat that they might make a sequel to this mess.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 3, 2021

In a livelier film with more invested performers, this could be a nicely subversive touch, but the viewer can hardly be blamed...

| Dec 23, 2020

The story is so commonplace and derivative of other popular fairy tales that it is absolutely not a new telling of anything at all.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 5, 2020

A flaccid story that's as exciting as being draped with a wet towel.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 13, 2020

This film is perfectly entertaining enough to while away an evening, if you are into the fantasy genre. It also stands for something more important than the sum of its parts - that THREE fantastic actresses can dominate a blockbuster movie.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jul 1, 2020

It's gown porn.

| May 1, 2020

It's very convoluted, but still watchable.

You can't, and shouldn't, shut your brain off for any entertainment. But you can be asked by said entertainment to forgive its stupidity in exchange for a good time. A Winter's War asked. I said yes. And that's how babies are made.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 9, 2019

Winter's War is a total guilty pleasure that revels in its own flaws. Its tongue-in-cheek charm won't be for everyone...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2019

A sequel and prequel in one and all bad.

| Original Score: F | Apr 2, 2019

The Huntsman: Winter's War is basically blah.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 19, 2019

The film successfully exemplifies love throughout the story and contains great performances. [Full Review in Spanish]

Hemsworth isn't stretching his acting chops here, but he's entertaining.

| Feb 2, 2019

The Huntsman: Winter's War may not be the fairest of them all, but it's a pretty escapism.

| Jan 23, 2019

It brought beautiful costumes into this world, and also has bracket narration by Liam Neeson. So, you know, it might be your thing.
