Snow White and the Huntsman 3 (2025) continues the legendary story with a fresh and captivating direction, plunging viewers into the ultimate battle between light and darkness to decide the fate of the kingdom of Ravenna.
Following the tense events of the second film, Snow White (now portrayed by Rachel Weisz, replacing Kristen Stewart) has matured into a fierce warrior and leader of the rebellion against the cruel rule of Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron returns as the evil queen). Frank (Chris Hemsworth) — the Huntsman — is no longer just an ally but Snow White’s loyal protector.
The movie begins with Ravenna attempting to steal an ancient, mystical gem that grants infinite power to its bearer, threatening to plunge the kingdom into ruin. Snow White, alongside Frank and a group of new allies—including a young, gifted sorceress played by Florence Pugh—must stop Ravenna’s sinister plan.
Snow White and the Huntsman 3 maintains its grand action sequences mixed with rich mythology and magic. The battle scenes, especially the climactic confrontation between Snow White and Ravenna, are visually stunning and emotionally charged, reflecting the characters’ growth and deep personal losses.
Moreover, the film explores the complex relationship between Snow White and Ravenna, going beyond a simple good-versus-evil clash to reveal themes of betrayal, motherhood, and the cost of power.
However, the screenplay at times feels a bit drawn out and underutilizes some supporting characters. The strong performances of the cast, particularly Charlize Theron and Rachel Weisz, keep the audience engaged throughout the nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime.
The ending leaves room for possible spin-offs or further stories within this dark fairy tale universe, while satisfactorily concluding Snow White’s journey in a way that is both fulfilling and open-ended.
Overall, Snow White and the Huntsman 3 is a worthy finale for the series, blending action, emotion, and magic. It’s perfect for fans who appreciate a more mature and nuanced retelling of the Snow White legend.
