Some things I liked some I did not.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The film starts out as the prequel to Snow White and then turns into a sequel. The evil Ravenna (Charlize Theron) had a sister Freya (Emily Blunt) who started an ice kingdom up north which she extended with the help of specially trained fighters. Through a long twisted series of circumstances, "The Mirror" becomes stolen and must be returned.I won't say anything more specific about the plot, it easy to spoil. Chris Hemsworth and Jessica Chastain are the two main characters looking for the mirror. The scenes include the enchanted forest with goblins and dwarfs. The accents varied on the characters. Hemsworth grunted like Rocky and later impersonated Dave Winfield (August 4, 1983 Toronto) . Chastain would feign a slight Irish accent. I loved the plot and the twists up until the end.The theme of the film is "Love conquers all"....I thinkGuide: PG-13 violence. Nude implication with couple in water. Language such as "bitch" and KMA. No Kristen Stewart, Snow White shown once from the back.Note to self: Cut ropes to bridge after you cross.

I don't know why there was no connection between the huntsman and the baby in this. He coulda been the father, or even been the baby, himself. I guess the fewer connections the better these days, right. I'm not sure what a wood monger, name of Eric is doing being called a huntsman, or what anyone is doing being a huntsman in the first place. What is this Camelot, the Sherwood forest, I thought movies were supposed to reflect our circumstances not create a different, albeit realistic, reality. And wasn't it the beautiful love interest that was carrying the bow. Shades of Hunger Games, starlet Jennifer L. But given the out of step development of this plot of origin, this movie came after the first, but is set in a time before the time frame of the first - just press one if you are French, two if you're Spanish, or three if you're English - Eric, I mean, if we're English, don't the adjectives come before the nouns, it would make more sense in a foreign language where the adjectives come after the subject. But in a society without any royalty to speak of, who cares. I think I counted two flashbacks of the same incident, the baby of the ice cream, I mean queen - one from the POV of the ice queen, and one from the POV of the other ice queen, I guess I'll call them Ice Queen's, one and two. And several other miscellaneous flashbacks from the supporting cast. Yeah, Liam or was it Chris Hemsworth was in a supporting role. And what does an axe do but chop wood, how much wood, could a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chop wood. Well, now wood chucks or racoons here, dames and dudes. It's a buck or two, an arrow or two, and some weird dynamic around the mirror, that's just a shiny piece of metal. This didn't really test my meddle, but it did kind of make me crazy and a little angry watching this movie, but such is life. Thanks Chris, (not Hemsworth, BTW)

Winter's War takes you on the "other side" ... yet when I watched the movie on cable, the narration at the start really killed the story. While narration can work, and it appears that Liam Neeson did the narration, it was very distracting for this half baked story.Great cast, maybe worth a rental. Is there a "no narration" version lying around somewhere??The previous movie in this series worked much better.

This is kind of a prequel and a sequel to Snow White and The Huntsman. It is not as impressive as the first movie but quite good anyway. I would call it a nice family movie although probably not for the youngest members of the family.The story is partly before and partly after the events in Snow White and The Huntsman. It is a good adventure with plenty of magic and special effects and a fair bit of action. It is a fairly straightforward story without much in terms of surprises.There is a bit of comical relief in particular by the dwarfs, especially when the two dwarfs following the huntsman encounters the grumpy female one and her friend.Apart from the classical Snow White setting, quite good special effects and quite decent action this is a fairly normal fantasy adventure movie. It is about two hours of good fun but does not really reach wow-status.
