Who exactly is this movie for? Did anyone grow such an attachment to Chris Hemsworths Huntsman theyd rush out to see a prequel? Does anyone want to see a Snow White movie without Snow White in it? The answer is no, of course not; yet they made The Huntsman: Winters War regardless. The movie will fill in essential backstory (?) about the rivalry between evil sisters Emily Blunt and Charlize Theron, and Hemsworth will be called upon again to swing an ax, but there wont much suspense since the outcome is already obvious. Winters War had a brief period of hope where it was going to be directed by Frank Darabont, but when he left any chance of it being something more than a generic fantasy adventure was lost. Hemsworth hasnt had much luck in leading man roles outside of Thor evidenced by Blackhat and In The Heart Of The Sea - and the standard reaction people have to see the trailer is What, they made a sequel?! The movie does have a pretty great cast, but that probably wont help it much overall. Can you think of any other forthcoming blockbusters that could turn out to be disastrous?
