    It was a little on the lite side....

    by

    Although the movie had good fight scenes and special effects, the plot was a little thin and underdeveloped. At some points it was annoying and predictable. In spite of this, I really liked the twist to the classic fairytale. This movie is a cross between Snow White and The Huntsman, Van Helsing and Red Riding Hood.

    Classic Tale!

    This was a fun movie and added a nice twist to the "Hansel and Gretel" story we have all heard and read. We have a brother and a sister who are on a mission to take down every witch there is in the area who are taking the children from the local town. They have seen it all, they have witnessed it, and now they must band together with the locals to stop the evil from spreading. You have blood, guts, action, and romance!! It is set in a town in the 1700's and has beautiful scenery. If you want a fun story, go check out this new flick. The acting isn't the best, but that shouldn't stop you from buying a ticket. I enjoyed it and will buy it once it comes out in DVD. Go see it in 3-D! Everybody loves guts and bullets coming at you on screen. Keep the kiddies at home, there is nudity and way too much violence. Fun movie!

    GOOD MOVIE

    I ENJOYED THE MOVIEN VERY MUCH. IT WAS GREAT AND FILLED WITH ACTION. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR SMALL CHILDREN OR CHILDREN UNDER 13, THE VIOLENCE IS VERY GRAPHIC.

    Hansel and Gretel creative twist to the story

    Like the movie full of action. I really like the twist from the original story book Hansel and Gretel.
    It is more then candy in a house. Creative characters in the story. I enjoyed the story.

    Fairy tale or Nightmare?

    What could have been a fun, interesting twist on the fairy tale became a graphic gore-fest a la Freddie Kruger. There is no point in talking about acting, plots or anything else. I am not particularly squeamish and I found it hard to watch. If movie making has come to this people will stay home and rent something, anything, better.

    IT was good but not great

    by

    It was a good movie but not the best I have seen. It had a cleaver spin on the fable story of Hansel and Getel. I recommend if you don't really have anything to do this weekend and your bored I would go and see it.

    Waste of potential

    by

    It could have been a good money, but it contained far too much pointless profanity, way too much gore and viritually no plot. The nudity was both so pointless and so unexpected that it took away from the movie (Something uncharacteristic of boobies). The plot is shallow and the acting is terrible (save for Renner). In the end it wasn't worht the money I paid.

    It was fun.

    Not great, by any means, but Gemma and Jeremy have good chemistry and it's a fun concept. The *&#!! critics will hate it but I definitely enjoyed it.

    all you expect, action, average acting and a naked chick

    This movie is all it promises to be, an decent fantasy action movie. The dialogue was nothing of substance, but if you're looking at going to this movie that's not really what you'd care about anyhow. It wasn't the Grimm story of Hansel & Gretel that we all know, but I thought it was connected well enough that it could keep the name.

    Really liked it! Would watch again-

    by

    We liked it! But we like those cheesy movies, like Twlight(THIS IS WAY BETTER), Van Helsen,.
    Will watch part 2 , if they make it.
    R for the "F word" about 5 times.

    Gotta see it now!

    Someone gave it a SO-SO rating and stated ".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." UMMMMMMMMMM come on guys, we all saw the trailers! I don't think in that era there were Witches with MACHINE GUNS EITHER or a gingerbread house or a hansel or a gretel!!! Hahahahahahaha Not only was the review so laughable, now I just want to go to see if any of it could even be considered realism! LOL Its a story about Hansel and Gretel with a Van Helsing spin, the kids escape being baked and then find futuristic weapons to hunt evil kid eating Witches! OF COURSE IM IN! :) :) :) If this doesn't take my mind off of the bad economy NOTHING WILL.

    Just okay

    by

    What you see in the trailer is what you get.

    The good: the action is plentiful and humor is present throughout the movie (although I wouldn't call it funny). The film is visually interesting.
    The bad: performances are mediochre and it the feel of the film is clear that of being filmed on a set. The story is predictable.

    If you are looking for an actiony diversion, you might give Hansel and Gretel a try. If you are looking for quality film-making or consistently good performances you may need to look elsewhere.

    Fun Movie

    I enjoyed Hansel and Gretel, I thought it was full of action, visually entertaining and it had quite a few funny moments in it as well.

    Cool Movie

    Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters is a funny and exciting movie. Who would've thought that a classic fairy tale would be twisted and given more suspense and action? Jermey Renner as Hansel was very good and I like his sense of humor, I look forward to see him in future movies. Aslo actress Gemma Arterton was impressive as Gretel.
