Show White II: The Revenge (what movies?)

Here are some other movies I recognized in that awfully original sequel, The Huntsman Winter's War:

- Frozen: two sisters, one has the power of ice, she goes away, builds a kingdom.
- Lord of the Rings: the mirror, like the ring, is round and golden, has engravings around it, and whispers murderous thoughts to the watcher/wearer.
- Spider-Man: not any specific movie, but the Ravenna vs Freya fight looked like Venom vs Blizzard (or Iceman).
- The Golden Compass: the bear riding.
- Narnia: Liam Neeson in full Aslan mode, also because of the white witch.
- Terminator 2: liquid Ravenna like a golden T-1000.
- any US flick with Hong Hong fight choreography: the martial art fights; totally out of place.
- The Jungle Book: when they go get the mirror from the Goblin king, for some reason it reminded me of King Louie's hideout.
- The Last Airbender: okay, not sure why I thought of it, perhaps because of their base and powers?

- ?: spying through the eyes of a bird; that was in another movie too, can't remember which, but I think the bird was a raven.

What else? I'm sure there's more. Half or more of this movie is basically a patchwork of other people's ideas.

Every movie or story can be harked back to something. Game if thrones for example could be called a rip off of the war of the roses. The walking dead stole from night of the living dead. By your theory then they are horrible. Actually a year ago I seen a similar post about another movie. It seems you ripped it off. How unoriginal of you to rip a movie for being unoriginal
Shame. Shame

You missed the movie Bambi--they stole Disneys idea of having a deer in the film!
Many movies we see today are based off of old stories or books, and there tends to be more than one interpretation. This movie, and Frozen, probably more, are based off a Hans Christian Anderson fairytale written in the mid-1800's.
As far as the rest of your comparisons, you seem to be reaching. Furthermore, what's the point? Did you watch simply to make comparisons? If so, perhaps you missed the movie itself.

Oh, and a SEQUEL comes AFTER the original movie.
A PREQUEL comes BEFORE the first released movie.
