Critics Consensus

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

Even filled with flaws and missteps aplenty, I got a serious kick out of this sequel, I enjoyed it far more than I imagined I was going to.

3/5

The heavily female-centered The Huntsman: Winter's War boasts beautiful visual effects and a sense of humor sorely lacking from the original.

When people gripe about Hollywood's reliance on sequels and cheap franchise cash-ins, this is the kind of movie they mean: no Grimm's Fairy Tale, but a grim tale nonetheless.

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.

1/4

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

Se eu fosse o espelho, acho que bugaria na hora de responder qual é a mais bonita do reino. Além do desfile de mulheres bonitas, o filme entrega uma boa história de fantasia. Vale o "ingresso".

This film reminded me of those old school fantasy adventure stories that you grow up with as a kid that is brought to life in the big screen. Good acting, simple storytelling, that provided an above average watch experience that will leave a positive memorable impression on younger viewers.
