Most Memorable Scene: The Final Battle (The Huntsman: Winter's War)

I thought The Huntsman: Winter's War so much more interesting than the first movie Snow White and the Huntsman. In the second movie, you got both the backstory and present story for The Huntsman as well as Freya, the Ice Queen. Freya was so heartbroken with grief, she became so cold that she replaced love with power. She created an army from either stolen or orphaned children (it's been a while since I've seen the movie, so I'm not quite sure which is it) that she trained to become her most skilled soldiers. The only caveat seemed to be don't fall in love which is unfortunately what two of her Huntsman (the huntsman (Did he have a first name?) and Sara) did.

This movie also brought back the return of Queen Ravenna who got to continue her reign of evil and manipulation that is until the very end with the final battle. I really love this battle scene because some of Freya's former Huntsmen were fighting back to end both Freya and Ravenna's reign of terror. And despite, Ravenna's power she eventually and finally met her end. I highly doubt she would be able to return from that since she wasn't completely alive when she returned this time. However, too bad for Freya, who lived a twisted cold life due to her sister's manipulation, she met her end as well. At least she helped stop her sister who was truly mad with power.

I just really loved this movie, it was an interesting adaption of the classic fairytale.
