After 2012’s “Snow White and the Huntsman” had surprisingly decent success at the box office; the next obvious choice was to make a sequel. And what a choice it turned out to be.

“The Huntsman: Winter’s War” is so terrible, that it’s hilariously wonderful.

The joke begins with an oddly drawn out prologue in which Queen Ravena (Charlize Theron) ruthlessly takes over kingdom after kingdom for no apparent reason, other than the fact that she’s evil.

Her pleasant and un-magical sister, Freya (Emily Blunt), comes along on these conquests, simply following her sister wherever she goes. But after an incident, Freya loses her newborn daughter and closes her heart to love, thus unlocking latent ice powers.

She is sent off to the North to make her own kingdom where loving is illegal and raises an army of children to become grown huntsmen and women who are her main fighting force as she expands her own domain.

Chris Hemsworth reprises his role from “Snow White” of the huntsman, Eric, in this awkward prequel/sequel.

I say awkward because the first third is a forced back story which recalls some of the details from the first movie. And then suddenly, the film shifts to the sequel with everything taking place after “Snow White.”

In the sequel part of the film, the Golden Mirror is taken away from Queen Snow White as its evil magic is still present.

On its way to safe keeping in Sanctuary, it disappears. Thus, Eric is summoned to aide Snow White once more and is tasked with finding the mirror and keeping it from falling into the wrong hands.

Eric is joined by dwarves Nion (Nick Frost) and Gryff (Rob Brydon) and later reunites with his long lost wife, Sara (Jessica Chastain).

What ensues is a zany romp across the land to hunt down the mirror and stop Queen Freya from getting ahold of the mirror.

The poor acting is one of the comedic highlights of this film. Whether it be Chastain switching or dropping her loose Scottish accent mid-scene, Hemsworth cracking a big goofy grin as the plot falls to pieces around him, Blunt’s mopey brooding or Theron chewing the scenery, the gaping plot holes are another reason this film is such a comedic gem.

Recalling character details from “Snow White” makes this movie all the more confusing and funnier than it already is.

The “only downside” to it all was the incredibly unfunny and ongoing joke of how male and female dwarves find each other repulsively ugly.

There was some nice sister rivalry between Ravenna and Freya that should have been developed and expanded upon more, but it was obvious that the writers were more focused on how funny they could make “Huntsman” rather than caring for any kind of depth or emotion.

So, if you’re in for a good comedy, then The Huntsman: Winter’s War is one you should definitely go see.
