Surprisingly very good!!

by

I went to see this this past weekend,because somebody I knew wanted to see it,and I went with them.I thought this was gonna be on of those movies,with cheap one liners,and just over all bad action.I was wrong.I am so glad I saw it.A lot of action,the 3D was awesome,and there was more blood than I originally thought!!I would definitely watch it again!!!

Not very realistic....LOL

by jsikey

It certainly was different than your typical shoot them up, blow them away movie. As long as you know what you're going to, and don't have too high of expectations, it was a great break from reality!

Real cool movie

by mediabandits

I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. It is rated R because the killing of the witches is real gory and there is cursing, but no crazy sex scenes.... you can take a teenage kid to watch it.

Believe the previews

by

Critics are paid to tear movies apart. This movie is exactly what it should be...fun. The 3D definitely makes it intense, which is good. There are no long drawn out plot points. But the simplicity of it is how you lose yourself in it and just enjoy the exploding witches riding around on tree branches. Two words........ Hella Fun

H & G

by movie-pro

I will have to say that I was a little disappointed to say the least. I watched it in 3D which did make you jump every now and then. Personally I really don't care for the 3D movies they are just to dark for my taste anyway. The Troll Edward was pretty cool. I always like J. Renner. He would have made a great James Bond in my opinion. If I had it all to do over again I would just wait for the DVD,,

Get prepared for H&G 2...

Good Saturday Night

by ctownaqib

The movie was funny with a lot of good action scenes. I was entertained for a couple of hours which is what you want in a movie. Critics don't like things that don't make us contemplate our existence. Its not that. Its a fun way to spend a Saturday.

Great 3D and Special Effects

by mattwilson321

I really enjoyed the movie overall; however, the updated language used was a little too colorful at times. Actors did a great job! The Special and 3D effects, and cinematography were extremely good; best 3D movie I've seen in years. It is an adult movie, especially with the colorful language, and the high amount of killings/blood splashed throughout. All in all, I really liked the movie and recommend it to all that like great special effects, 3D and an updated take on an old time fairy tale.

Great except for the silly anachronisms....

by dandersen12

Good acting, story, effects, and very good 3D. Only annoying thing was the use of 20th century slang in a 19th century story taking place, for the most part, in the area of Augsburg, Germany. Other anachronisms, such as an apparent use of insulin injections (seriously!) had nothing much to do with the story until the---well, you'll see why they contrived that whole thing without really needing to...

You'll see some Van Helsing-influenced gadgetry and, as you would expect, some Brothers Grimm imagery, but it's great. Well worth the money and the 85 minutes watching. Beware that the shortness of the film means that you're going to suffer twenty minutes worth of previews, etc., before the movie starts...

Good entertainment!

by Shasha33

Love fairy tale stories and this one was action packed! No, it was not realistic or practical but what fairy tale is? It's a fairy tale people! As in fantasy.
Loved the 3D effects! If you go see it try and see it in 3D, you won't be sorry! It is NOT a movie for young kids but I did take my 15 year old son, who at times can be skeptical of movies such as this, and he LOVED it as much as I did!
Go with a open mind and I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Wasted money

by

I love this type of movie, but this one was horrible! Haven't been so disappointed in a movie in a long time. Can't believe they actually made this movie. It could have been great, but sadly it was a flop! Wait until its released on TV for free.

Great twist!

by tazfus

I loved this story as a kid. It was nice to see it updated. The witches and trolls were just right, not to scary and not to weak. I just wish that would have done more character development on the good witches!

Should be PG 13 not R

by

I took 3 boys 11-12. We all loved it! There was only one part with nudity. I read a review that there was a sex scene and I was ready to make sure they covered their eyes but it was just a quick butt shot and a little bit of boobage, not too bad, no sex. Nothing they haven't seen before in PG 13. The language was PG 13 too, I thought. The violence was about what they see in video games. The story was cool. I liked Gretel's part. She was a tough biatch. All the boys thought the weapons were awesome, they were futuristic. Great in 3D! I didn't get motion sickness like I have before in 3D movies. I don't know if that is something that others have experienced but I was happy it didn't happen this time. All of the boys gave it a thumbs up! We were all saying that was an awesome movie when we were walking to the car. It was a hit!

Which Witch is Which?

by picknpockets

A very action packed movie. I saw it in 3D and enjoyed it. There were some parts that I would consider slow. But overall, I'd say it was good. I would not recommend for kids to see as there are some gory parts. I think that the writing could have better. The acting, directing, and cinematography were good. Slow start, slow in the middle; but when it picked up; I found it enjoyable. On a 5 star rating system: I give it 3.75.

Solid twist on classic tale

by D-Nutz

This film is what it is...a fun, action-packed adventure flick with mild frights mixed in. Jeremy Renner (as Hansel) did an admirable job, however, Gemma Arterton (Gretel) was less than believable and downright wooden to be quite honest. The 3D visuals were pretty decent but sparingly on display in my opinion. All in all, solid if not spectacular flick, probably not worth the trip to the movie theater on its own accord but worth the rent when released on Bluray/DVD.

It was awesome!!!! Very slow at the beginning but most shows are. Not recommended for returning soldiers though! The exploding bodies could effect their PTSD! All in all great movie!
