Ok I adored Snow White and the Huntsman because it's so dark and twisted. I don't care what anyone says I love Kristen Stewart. And I loved the ending of that film. So when I heard there was going to be a sequel I was so excited because I thought "yes we are going to get some Snow White and the Huntsman action because of that "kiss in the first film" so when I found out that we weren't because Kristen wasn't even going to be in. I wasn't in a rush to watch this.
So after a couple of
months of it being released, I thought why not and give it a try.
And........... It's not terrible. It's actually really enjoyable and funny. A
lot more light hearted than the first film. Chris is the perfect huntsman.
(Although that Scottish accent? It's questionable). I get why Kristen wasn't
involved in this. But still I think she should have been. And left the Sara
character (his wife) out it. Lol. I didn't like her at all. Lol
However,
Emily and Charlize are bloody fantastic in their roles. Charlize just embodies
that evil queen role and Emily? While her character kind of reminds me of Elisa
from Frozen (do not get me started on that film👎) she is
just wonderful. Her character is evil but not at the same time. A great
character to love and hate. And I can I just talk abut the costumes for these
two? OMG. Outstanding!! How come the bad ones always have the best clothes?? I
want their costume designer!!
The Huntsman:
Winter's War is full of action from start to finish so there is never a dull
moment which is alway the goal of a good movies. For me
though, it just wasn't as dark as the first film and I love a dark and
gritty fairytale. However, if you have seen the first film then this is a must
see.
Have you seen the movie?
