The Huntsman: Winter’s War-Kids’ Movie Review

“Love conquers all” is a quote people are familiar with and a common theme in a lot fairy tales. After Queen Freya (Emily Blunt) had been betrayed by her evil sister Ravenna (Charlize Theron), she was heartbroken and depressed so she moved to a northern kingdom to raise an army of huntsman to protect herself. Freya had the ability to freeze her enemies in ice so she created a cold kingdom and began stealing children from villages while teaching them to never fall in love. However, Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and fellow warrior Sara (Jessica Chastain) defied the horrid rule and fell madly in love. Eventually the couple united with Freya as they tried to end Queen Ravenna’s wicked reign with hopes that love will conquer all.
