The Huntsman: Winter's War Reviews
December 23, 2020
In a livelier film with more invested performers, this could be a nicely subversive touch, but the viewer can hardly be blamed...

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

I had high hopes for this movie but it just could not keep my attention.

If there's one word to describe this film, it's "middling." Its ambitions aren't high enough for it to be truly terrible, so it contents itself with being entirely disposable.

You know those direct-to-DVD sequels to big movies you sometimes find on Netflix? ... [This film] feels like one of those with a bigger budget and a theatrical release.

Impressive landscapes, gorgeous costumes, and superb special effects can't boost the shaky, thin narrative, and it feels like a shadow of its more intriguing predecessor.

This prequel-sequel abomination is barely good enough for hate-watching unless you want to see the purest expression of paint-by-dollars filmmaking to come out this year.

How do you make a Snow White movie without Snow White? The answer is you probably shouldn't
