Watch The Theron #040 – The Huntsman: Winter’s War (2016)

The Huntsman: Winter’s War marks Charlize Theron’s first sequel, and also begs one question: Why? Why this movie? Why this franchise? While Charlize made a cool $10 million to (briefly) reprise her role of Ravenna from Snow White and and the Huntsman — while also making a stand to demand equal pay — it’s a shame that this movie fails to utilize her in the same way that the first did. Though this movie was far less successful at the box office (and faced much harsher reviews from critics), it’s probably not that far off from the first one in terms of quality or overall production value. However, with fewer than ten Charlize Theron movies left, it’s a bit of a disappointment when we get to a movie where she misses an eighty minute chunk in the middle. It’s a good thing, then, that the Charlize we do get is peak camp.
