“The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” the sequel to “Snow White and the Huntsman,” was an unfortunate flop at both the box office and in keeping my attention, unlike the first film in the franchise.

“Huntsman: Winter’s War” grossed $20 million this opening weekend, earning less than half of what the first film of the franchise earned, according to Internet Movie Data Base.

The movie was highly anticipated due to its soundtrack and advertisements on social media sites, but the franchise fell short in earning and fulfilling a better storyline than the first movie. This original movie was an engaging take on “Snow White and the Huntsman.” This movie served as the background story, the meat to helping you understand why Queen Ravenna, played by Charlize Theron, and her sister Queen Freya, played by Emily Blunt, exude sister rivalry and the essence of the magic “mirror, mirror on the wall.”

The movie, directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, was far from attention grabbing. The fight scenes between the Huntsman, played by Chris Hemsworth, and anyone in his way, were hardly memorable.

The Huntsman’s supporting partner and wife Sara, played by Jessica Chastain, have a very confusing romantic relationship. Throughout the movie, the Huntsman, Sara and a few dwarfs made their way to the castle to battle with the sisters, Queen Ravenna and Queen Freya, which could have been a great fight sequence. However, the fight lacked visually, and every moment failed to evoke power behind the key moments of the one big final fight.

The costumes were the best part of the entire film, and that’s never a good thing. Queen Freya and Queen Ravenna will be the “it” Halloween costumes of 2016.

Universal Pictures could have made the fight sequences more memorable, but the costumes were a notable enough part of film to carry the name until October.
