It’s catch-up time again as I take a look at the predecessor
to an upcoming film… or an already-released film that I didn’t get to because I
was too busy spending a month brown-nosing an entire industry. This time, it’s
in preparation for The Huntsman: Winter’s War, a film that already looks
incredibly uninteresting even without having seen the first film. So, let’s go
back to 2012: Chris Hemsworth is riding high on that Marvel wave, Kristen
Stewart is trying to break away from the series that would be tied to her forever,
Charlize Theron was less than a month away from either disappointing or
surprising audiences with Prometheus, and I was having constant mental
breakdowns in the face of my final exams for school; it was a tough time for
everyone. Oh, and the world apparently ended or something, I don’t know; I
think a guy on the radio mentioned it once. This was also released in close
proximity to another Snow White adaptation (or re-imagining or whatever buzz
word the studios wanted to use) direct by Tarsem; you know, the guy who made this waste of a film. Why do I get the feeling that the contest of lameness between them is going to be really, really close?
