Rating: 7/10
Some people really need to get over themselves, judging by some of the
reviews for this film. It is a fantasy based on children's stories -
what the hell were they expecting, Hamlet or Henry V?
It was a fun ride with plenty of action, plenty of humour, and a great
cast - Chris Hemsworth brings his usual cheery action hero to the mix,
Jessica Chastain was a good addition as The Huntsman's wife, and Emily
Blunt played the fragile Ice Queen wonderfully well. The Dwarfs were
comic relief as always, but it worked well with fewer of them and a
couple of females in the mix.
The story wasn't overcomlicated but if I want that, I'll go watch
Memento. Chill out a little, folks.
