The weak protagonist ruined the whole show

Richards Theron's stellar performance at the opening of the film can't undo the failure of the film's play structure and dramatic conflict arrangement. Freya is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and Levina is fiery on the outside and dark on the inside. The conflict between the two should be the main line, even if it can't run through, at least it should be echoed at the end. But Brother Hammer turned into a hunting god (I really don't see where it can be called a god, at best he is a gangster) and he took a few dwarves and just mixed up the scene. The nonsensical love between him and Jessica suddenly became the focus of the film and it was confusing. The thin story background and simple character made Hemsworth feel that he could not find this role in normal dramas (this kind of simple character is hard It is really difficult to hold up the audience), and the division of responsibilities of the six-member team for melee and long-range attack is also not reflected. At the end of the film, the Kingdom Rebellion is not convincing at all, and it has completely turned into a dungeon team battle to overthrow the boss. There is no plot and does not echo the title, and the ending scene of the Frozen Throne and Medivh at the end is really drunk. If it weren't for Theron 2 points, I wouldn't want to give it.

    It's embarrassing to watch a bunch of good actors play a silly movie.

    Nothing new, old-fashioned chicken soup. Why is the fairy tale adaptation still spinning in place? There is no denying the glamorous aura and gorgeous costumes of Theron and Bronte, but the others are really just works with mediocre responses on the production line.

The Huntsman: Winter's War quotes

  • Sara: We blind ourselves to the truth because we are weak, because we hope. But there's no hope for love. Love ends in betrayal. Aye and always.

  • Sara: Dead? Is that what you told everyone? You poor heartbroken widower. That story must have wet the eyes of many a young lass. Maybe more than their eyes.
