   Rob Brydon needs to do more acting. Jessica Chastain needs to do fewer accents. 7 years 11 months ago

   The joke to make is: What is Emily Blunt doing in something like The Huntsman: Winter's War?! Probably the same thing Charlize Theron is, though she has the excuse of having been in the first Huntsman movie--wait, Jessica Chastain is in this too?! But truth be told, while people like to pan these films, I don't think they're all that bad. They're exciting enough and have a lot of star power whatever their other problems are. In this one, Thor--I mean the Huntsman--goes up against yet another evil queen, sister to the Snow White's villain, basically Ilsa from Frozen who is rules a kingdom where love is forbidden. It starts out as a prequel, but eventually jumps forward to the "present", using clumsy and often badly written narration read by Liam Neeson, randomly (or is it supposed to be a weird Narnia reference?), to get us through tons of back story. It takes 25 minutes to get out of the storybook flashback, which is way too long. The CG creatures are clearly CG, but there's not a whole lot of that, thankfully. I think the story works. Nick Frost returns as one of the Seven Dwarfs. And the Doctor Who audios' Sheridan "Lucie Miller" Smith is an underused stand-out as a lady dwarf who joins the party. A bit of low-rent fantasy fun, structurally flawed, but I wasn't bored. 4 years 1 month ago
