This movie way quite an enjoyable time!
My expectations were pretty low to be honest, especially having seen the first one which I can't say I liked very much, but it proved me wrong. This was a fun watch.
Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, obviously the cast for this movie is stacked and they great as you'd expect. Honorable mention to the dwarves. I loved them lol, there were some moments which I was laughing like an idiot :D.
To get to the point though, I liked the story and the plot overall, or should I say the execution and the delivery of it. Nothing amazing or groundbreaking, but as I always say, it really doesn't have to be. If you like and you've watched a lot of schience-fiction, action, adventure and especially fairytail movies such as this one then you already know what to expect. You've pretty much seen every possible plot twist or storyline. In these kinds of movies there aren't many things that will surprise you and if you go into such a movie expecting something never seen before then you're naive imo. The name of the game with these types of movies is execution, delivery and characters. And that is what I liked about this movie. I thought the "love makes you weak" theme was cheesy and stupid but ultimately I liked how they developed it through the characters' story arcs.
I really felt for Freya in the end :'( and I thought it was pretty sad how at the end it turned out that she did care about the huntsmen and huntwomen which she kept calling "her children" despite her trying to be emotionless and never show them any affection because she believed it was a weakness. In the end however when she realiazed her sister was behind everything she tried to protect them from her. The saddest thing though is that they never got to know and she died protecting them.
Overall nice movie, should be a very good time with family at a Saturday night.
