Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Tweetienator Gemma and Jeremy are the coolest cats in town or respective in all the fairylands hunting witches not only in the witching hours. I really enjoyed this movie, that provides us with a ton of fresh ideas, spicing and shaking up the good old Grimm tale, mocking with mindless fun all fairy tales and vampire stories and the like ever written or put into motion pictures. Hansel & Gretel, a guilty pleasure for sure, but also popcorn cinema in the best sense, of course, no new Inception and no aspirant for an Oscar but fun enough to watch this movie more than just once, and still giggling and laughing in certain scenes and admiring the makeup-art of the witches, the cinematography, and the full action mode. A movie the Wizard of Oz would be proud of. And last but not least, Gemma is the most beautiful witch hunter ever.
Mihai Toma When they were kids, Hansel and Gretel were abandoned by their father in the nearby forest, ending up defeating the witch from the candy cottage. After that event, thanks to their powers, they become witch hunters, swearing to bring every evil witch to justice, no matter where she was hiding. Thus, they are recruited by a town's mayor to investigate a kidnapping spree which seemed without ending. Armed with courage, weapons and a bit of help from some locals, they begin their quest of eliminating the source of evil which lurked without any hitch.It's an enjoyable and funny parody of the famous Hansel & Gretel story which seems determined to do anything to entertain. It manages to do so, mostly, due to its humor, intense action, combat and story. It combines sophisticated guns with a world in which people live in cottages and read printed newspapers...what a mix! As a parody, it doesn't pay attention to details, the characters are very simplistic and it's story is linear, but despite its problems, it is a good movie which provides a good dose of adrenaline and entertainment whenever needed.
Jadey N. As a child, I always had this one simple dream. For someone to create a movie set in times of the dirty stupid peasant folk and scary woods full of witches and of course, sexy witch hunters. Every little kid's dream. Heck yes. Here it is. Just gore and fun. This film is ridiculous and has it all. Hansel has diabetes (brilliant idea), there's always funny dialogue. There are some kick- ass weapons and fight scenes, there's even a machine gun in one of them! Gemma Arteron is just sexy, even more attractive in this than any of her previous films; Sands of Time, Quantum of Solace, Clash of the Titans, Byzantium...you get the point. How can you hate on a film where any hot actress is in tight black leather? My dream came true. But is there a sequel? Still waiting. Can we have Jeremy Renner in tighter leather next time? Or is that just a Hawkeye thing? Maybe even have a female love interest for Gretel? Times have changed!
boris_kolarov Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters kinda reminds of The Lone Ranger. Both films were released in 2013 and both got lots of bad reviews. Thankfully plenty of normal people like me enjoyed these two films, so they weren't left unloved. I thought H&G:WH was so great I don't have any problems with it. So here are at least most of the thing I liked about this film.1)On paper the idea of Hansel and Gretel killing sounds awesome.2)Some cool movies like this have a bad story. Thankfully the story here is pretty solid.3)The writing wasn't bad.4)The witches aren't made with CGI, which means they are portrayed by real people. Their makeup is excellent.5)Surprisingly Edward, the troll, isn't an animation. It is a costume.6)Overall great use of practical effects.7)Lots of great action sequences.8)The acting wasn't bad.9)The characters were likable.10)Hansel and Gretel were badass, especially Gretel. Both took serious damage.Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is just tons of stupid fun. From BAD 1 to EXCELLENT 6 I give it EXCELLENT 6. There is a sequel coming out sometime and I hope they won't f**k it up.
