Review of The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016) by Yanu A — 15 Apr 2016

Entertaining movie as long as you keep your expectation in check.

If you come and see this movie for fun, to see the imagery, to see your favorite stars in costumes than you will enjoy it. If you come and see this movie to have a deep intellectual show than you will obviously disappointed.

What's good:

1. The two female main characters Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt are amazing.

Charlize Theron, continuing the character from Snow White and the Hunstmen, is successfully portraying a mean queen with only world domination in her mind.

Emily Blunt, as Freya, is mean but more because the tragic fate that happens upon her....and by all mean she is able to deliver that little sadness in beneath her mean outlook.

2. Imagery looks cool. I like the effect, I like the landscape. Overall CGI is OK. although several of the creature is not so good. The best one is when Ravenna manifested from the mirror, after being summon by her sister Freya.

4. Quite successfully working out from being a prequel in the first few minutes of the film, into a sequel for the most part.

3. Kristen Stewart was not in it :) (Sorry Kristen fans).

What's not so good:

1. The jokes sometimes are cheesy.

2. The two dwarf woman just there for the sake of just being there.

3. CGI of the creature could have been better.

So as mentioned earlier an OK movie as along as you don't set your expectation to high.
