About

You’ll like this if you want a grim fairy-tale adventure with battles, magic, and monsters, especially after Jack the Giant Slayer; Not for you if you prefer lighter, playful fantasy.

Pros: dark fantasy mood; striking effects; menacing queen | Cons: uneven pacing; divisive lead; simple plot
