filmlover Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I love the concept of the actresses in this being catty with each other and even that can't move to be interested in this. That's when you know they've failed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. What do you find better in terrible Alice CGI mess? Story perhaps? And I really hate Maleficent with a passion, ruined my childhood and one of my favourite animated movies... The Huntsman, on the other hand, is one campy & fun fantasy movie, nothing more-nothing less...And it's not trying to be something more like SWATH.

jstevan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Critics Consensus on RT: The Huntsman: Winter's War is visually arresting -- and arguably an improvement over its predecessor -- but neither are enough to recommend this entirely unnecessary sequel.

Hey, that's not nearly as bad as I thought the consensus would be. I'll definitely be watching it on blu-ray or Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it doesn't make any sense, it's better than SWATH yet SWATH has 48% and this only 17% Edited April 15, 2016 by jstevan correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice has a better score, costumes and has a good arc for the main character. HBC does camp better than any of these ladies here who can overact for sure but it's never fun to watch. The 'real world' book-ends in Alice are quite good. Maleficent is much better looking, has a strong lead performance (regardless of the awful writing for her character) and again has a better score. What Huntsman has over those movies is that it gets so bad that it can be quite entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well I thought HBC and Weisz were both a lot of fun in their roles while Theron is utterly joyless and boring in these two films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weisz is great, I agree...Theron is wasted in dullness of the first one, but in this is very effective and looks she's having a lot of fun.
