The Huntsman: Winter's War Reviews
July 1, 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.

It's gown porn.

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.

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.

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

The Huntsman is a surprisingly entertaining romp.

Basically a good old fantasy adventure, best described as a fairy tale with dirt under the fingernails where the realms of magic spells and enchanted forests mix with the more brute realities of sword fights and monsters.

A fantasy-film anomaly; nominally about a dude, it's actually a playground for three glamorous, mature women at the height of their powers.

It's all a bunch of nonsense, but the production values are high and the forests are enchanted, the special effects...are good, and the story is told with a wink and a lot of light-hearted touches, so there's nothing to get too upset about.

This Snow White spinoff movie is dwarfed by its predecessors - hardly the fairest of them all. But not without its virtues.

As long as you're okay with the usual computer-generated world-building, The Huntsman does paint a colorful fantasy realm, boosted by James Newton Howard's hard-working score.

Not great, not risible, just fair.

Hemsworth is so charming he should be playing psychopaths. The man cannot stop smiling during a violent storm and here he's a flirt in a fetching woodsman outfit.

Barely fresh and mostly because of the visuals. Ironically, it's a prequel and a sequel to the so-so Snow White and the Huntsman. It's kinda fun. Key word: kinda.
