The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)
Fun & fantasy!
Reading critics reviews I've had very low expectations but I really don't know what they expect of a fantasy movie like this one? It certainly isn't Lord of the Rings but I've had fun. It is definitely an improvement over the first one which I found boring(except Charlize performance). SWATH biggest mistake is that it's taking itself too serious. Winter's War is just what it needs to be - a fun fantasy movie. Cast did a good job. For me the highlights are Charlize Theron(again) and Emily Blunt. Although there is a less of Theron than in the first movie, her screen time is very effective, she's really stealing the show and you see that Charlize had a great fun playing Ravenna. As I said I like that it has more fun than the first one, it's campy but in a good way, I mean we got two diva queens, they need to ham it up! The story is predictable but hey, 90% of this kind of movies are! Photography, costumes and special effects are perfect, it is really beautiful visually. So, there you go, it's an eye candy with two great leading ladies.
