A fun ride!!! 2D version.

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2013)

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters is a campy twist to the children's fairy tale. It is very much like 2004's Van Helsing. Except Hansel and Gretel is more violent, bloody (and nudity) and about a half dozen F-Bombs peppered into the film. The film was very enjoyable for me as I like a good B movie. And that is exactly what this is. The chemistry between Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton was excellent making them believable as a brother and sister looking out for one and other. The big bad was deliciously played by Famke Janssen who has played a villain well in past films (Golden Eye & X-men: Last Stand). The witches' movement and combat will certainly remind you of The Army of Darkness with Bruce Campbell. So, the best way I can sum this up is that this is indeed a popcorn movie with a few "oh yes!" moments. Don't take it seriously, because they obviously don't intend you to. This is not a children's movie and I strongly recommend they not see it.
