    Hansel & Gretel Wich Hundters

    by mrsrhondarudd1

    This ain't yo' mama's fairy tale!
    This feature length film Directed by: Tommy Wirkola, with Jeremy Renner as Hansel, Gemma Arterton as Gretel and Famke Janssen, Muriel the witch is awesome! This is the reason I go to the movies. The plot, action and special effects are explosive like a well-choreographed ballet on screen!

    I will go see this movie again!!!

    Great action, bad writing

    by

    I have to say that I went to see this more out of wish fulfillment than anything. I mean, the fairy tale is one of my favorites and I really wanted to see Gretel as more of a strong female character. While we do see that she is take charge and independent, the story centers on her pining for meaning and loss of parents. Once you get past the fact that this strong woman runs to her brother to solve problems or needs to be saved no less than 3 times in this movie, you have a story of Gretel coming of age to understand what she is; apparently more powerful than she understands, but reluctant to use said power for unknown reasons.

    Hansel has a love interest that is barely explored. A fanboy arises out of nowhere to join the band with no questions as to motive. Insulin shots for Hansel's diabetes as a plot device?

    There is plenty wrong with the movie, however if you are looking to kill 90 minutes and want to see some wicked fights, go see it. Do not expect character development.

    It was just ok

    by Sweetlou26

    The movie is good when it came to special effects. But as a story line it was like growing up in the fast lane. Not enough there to justify the story.

    Well done!

    by leo8888

    Took my Dad to see it for his birthday and we had a great time! Very good effects, story line and plenty of action. My only criticism would be that there were a couple places where the foul language didn't do anything to help the movie, but there was one particular scene near the end where it fit in perfectly. If you see it you'll know what I mean. All in all a very enjoyable movie and I think they left it open for a possible sequel which would be cool.

    Fun Movie

    by philos314

    This movie was a lot of fun. It was definitely in the Van Helsing style. Modern action and language set in the past. It's something I personally like, but it's not for everyone. Gretel is definitely hott and sassy.

    Hansel and Gretel

    by penbro

    Good action, has comical parts to it, actors did a good job but the backside nudity and some un-needed language...let's face it, back in that time period I don't think that the 'f' bomb would have been part of the language of the day...keeps me from suggesting an automatic go or must go. I was entertained and dismayed at the same time. The movie would have been just as good, if not better, without the nudity and language.

    Loved it

    by MaryAnn89

    I thought the movie was great!. I expected it to be corny, but it was actually very good. Not appropriate for children due to the foul language , but a definite must see !!!!

    Classic tale done poorly

    by movies2alert

    Ok I get it, Hollywood takes a classic fairy tale and wants to turn it into a action horror comedy thriller. Good concept, poor delivery. Really wanted to like this flick, but unfortunately, the film does not live up to the trailer. Nothing new here, lots of bone crushing and blood gushing fighting action scenes with heads getting chopped off except this time with Witches set in medieval times. Other than some nice eye candy on screen, very little chemistry at all between the leads and nothing that really draws you into the movie to make you want to give a damn about any of these characters. Jeremy Renner seems bored throughout and he wasn't the only one. Save yourself the $$ and catch this one on Cable or VOD or if you go, go with minimum expectations.
