Metsästäjä ja talvinen taistelu kertoo, mitä tapahtui ennen Lumikin tarinan tapahtumia. Chris Hemsworth ja Oscar®-voittaja Charlize Theron palaavat rooleihinsa eeppisessä toimintaseikkailussa, jossa heidän rinnalleen liittyvät Emily Blunt ja Jessica Chastain. Theron on paha kuningatar Ravenna, joka pettää julmasti hyväntahtoisen sisarensa Freyan (Blunt) luottamuksen ja jäädyttää tämän sydämen hylkimään rakkautta. Freya saa käyttöönsä jäiset voimat, joita hän ei tiennyt omaavansa. Valtataistelu kahden kuningattaren välillä yltyy sodaksi. Rintamalle astuu Freyan uskollinen soturi, metsästäjä Eric (Hemsworth). Hänen rinnallaan kulkee toinen taistelija Sara (Chastain) – ainoa nainen joka on onnistunut valloittamaan hänen sydämensä. Ericin on autettava Freyaa päihittämään sisarensa tai ilkeä Ravenna saa valtakunnan haltuunsa ikiajoiksi. (Finnkino)

Mitä syntyy, kun ohjaajalla on suhde alkuperäisen elokuvan päätähden kanssa, ja nyt täytyy kirjoittaa jatko-osa äkkiä uusiksi, koska studio antoi molemmille kenkää? Tällainen yleistasoinen ja steriili luomus. Aluksi en edes tajunnut Lumikin puuttuvan ja etten katsokaan uudestaan samaa leffaa, vaan jotain Frozenin PG-versiota. Aivan kuten ohjaaja Cedric Nicolas-Troyanin toisen teoksen kohdalla, nytkin voin vain todeta, että nähty on. Viikon päästä ei tosin ole enää mitään käryä, mitä leffassa tapahtui, ja muistan vain että se oli tylsä.

I got what I expected. And even though I wasn't expecting much, it's actually good. The Huntsman: Winter's War doesn't surprise with anything, certainly not with the story and twists, but as a fairy tale fantasy one-shot it's pretty good. Mostly because of the cast. Chris Hemsworth fits the role of the axe-wielding brawler and doesn't push him into any great acting, Charlize Theron enjoys the baddie, Emily Blunt manages to inspire both fear and pity (within the confines of the genre, of course), and Jessica Chastain is sexy even when she's chopping people's arms off. The visual effects are quite good and there is always something happening on screen during the less than two hours, so boredom doesn't set in and that voice that whispers that you are actually watching a completely useless movie is never so loud that you have to take it seriously. Overall, it comes out to be two hours of above average easygoing entertainment with a solid amount of skillfully filmed action and a fine adventure atmosphere. Only the dwarf humor misses the mark a bit. Overall, nothing great, but a pretty good film that stands up more or less without problems next to the first one.

I liked Hunter sequel similarly to the first one. The pacing is perfect, the action is stylish, the visuals are solid and the cast is very very good, featuring Jessica Chastain, Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt and Charlize Theron, a great quartet and quite possibly the strongest female line-up in a long time. Story-wise the film could have been more polished, it doesn't offer a proper twist, but again I didn't find it purposefully naive like Gods of Egypt or similar fantasy stuff. I had a good time. 75%

As I wasn’t very engaged by what The Huntsman: Winter’s War had to offer, I found myself in the cinema wondering who this borderline campy hybrid of Frozen and Game of Thrones was actually made for. For younger viewers, The Huntsman does not offer any age-appropriate characters that they can identify with; for older ones, there’s a lot of adolescent dwarf humour and few multi-dimensional characters whose decisions are motivated by anything other than the demands of the genre (approximately none). Like the previous instalment, to which The Huntsman is both a prequel and a sequel (as well as a spin-off), the film tries to appeal mainly to female viewers. It tries to convince us of its feminist essence not only through the numerical superiority of female characters, but also through at least one forced declaration of female independence. However, actions do not always correspond to words and the women’s independence is mostly illusory. It is natural to form a couple. Women without a partner are at the very least emotionally unstable and one of them compensates for the impossibility of self-realisation through raising a child by raising her own personal army of Hitler Youth, with whose assistance she then proceeds to conquer the surrounding kingdoms (because she can). Just as the plot is a patchwork of clichés from adventure and fantasy movies, the stereotypes of vain, unreadable and bitter people with no sense of humour are recycled in the portrayal of the female characters (especially in contrast to Erik and the two dwarves, who ceaselessly joke around). Not even the concept of the Nietzschean superwoman who ruthlessly eliminates every man who crosses her path is applied here with the same consistency as last time (or as in practically any given pre-Code film with Barbara Stanwyck). It is not surprising that the film’s director, as a visual-effects specialist, is as fascinated with the superficial as the self-centred Ravenna is. I am surprised, however, that the effects are often not very good (in particular, the large kingdom units look like something from an above-average video game). In general, Winter’s War comes across as a derivative of a successful film made out of obligation and without much dedication; Colleen Atwood’s spectacular costumes (of which we are made thoroughly aware through various overhead shots and close-ups) are truly convincing. If Snow White had shown up, Winter’s War, which at best works as a bad comedy, might have been able to better justify its existence. 50%

The castle scenes in Winter’s War were copied and pasted from the first instalment and the scenes in the woods looked like they were taken from a cheap TV fairytale. There are no other scenes and as a whole it suffers from a hopelessly contrived script and either half-baked or simply failed direction. The poor quality of Winter’s War is in stark contrast to the A-list cast.
