Chris Hemsworth is back in the latest adventure as the Huntsman, this time showing the icy past that made him become the huntsman.  In this latest adventure, Ravenna’s younger sister, Freya, after the unforeseen death of her day old daughter, the young queen is drawn to the icy powers that she has hidden inside of her.  Grief stricken, Freya takes refuge in the North, as her sister goes after Snow White.

Freya focuses her attention on raising an army of children to become her warriors and huntsman, raising fear and not getting close to anyone again.  As Freya’s powers and army grows in numbers, she realizes a chemistry forming in two of her strongest warriors, Eric (Hemsworth) and Sara (Jessica Chastain) and seeks to destroy the flame by showing two alternative fates that forces Eric to run away, which turns Sara into a heartless killer, but not before the two secretly marry before the departure.

Fast forward seven years after Snow White vanquishes Ravenna (Charize Theron), Erik discovers Sarah is still alive and is on a quest to find the mirror of Freya’s deceased older sister.  Hoping to rekindle the love, Eric and a couple of dwarf accompany Sara but is it too late to rekindle their love while trying to prevent the snow queen from gaining possession of the mirror.

At just under 2 hours run time, Universal’s The Huntman is packed with swords and punches as audiences learn even more about the relationships of the sisters, the lovers and the dwarves in an epic change of events that will have you asking questions and leaving you feeling somewhat fulfilled by the truth.  It’s a move that is ultimately worth giving it a chance to see on the big screen, though its opening weekend earned a solid 20 million, which was three times less then Disney’s The Jungle Book which took 60 million, raising its 10-day total to just under 200 million domestically.

The Huntsman:Winter’s War came out April 22 in theaters everywhere and is currently playing at a theater near you.
