I saw "The Huntsman:Winter's War", starring Chris Hemsworth-Thor in the Marvel movies, Rush; Charlize Theron-Mad Max:Fury Road, Children of the Corn 3:Urban Harvest; Jessica Chastain-The Martian, Mama and Emily Blunt-Edge of Tomorrow, Looper.
This is a sequel and a prequel to the 2012 'Snow White and the Huntsman'. Snow White is not in this one. Charlize is just barely-at the beginning and at the end. It starts off with Charlize killing her husband and taking charge of her kingdom as the new Queen. Emily is her sister that has not developed her sorceress powers yet, but soon does, after Charlize pulls a dirty trick on her. Emily becomes like the girl from 'Frozen'; she has ice powers. The sisters go their separate ways and each has profound changes made in their lives. Emily looses all her feelings for anything to do with love-and doesn't believe that anyone else should have loving feelings, either- and Charlize goes off and gets killed by Snow White. Emily decides to build herself an army to take over every kingdom in the country and Chris and Jessica become her top 2 students. Problems arise when Chris and Jessica fall in love-a big no no, according to Emily-and the love birds are separated. About 7 years pass and that's when the movie kicks into sequel mode. Charlize reappears-don't worry, it is explained how that is possible-and starts causing problems for her sister and Chris & Jessica. The fight scenes are pretty good, effects are adequate and there is even some humor thrown in. As far as being a big blockbuster? Not quite. Just Adequate. It's rated "PG-13" for fantasy action, violence and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 54 minutes. It's not one I would buy on DVD but it would make a good rental.
