HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS
I was fully expecting this to be a disappointment just like Red Riding Hood but I could not have been more surprised. This was such a great film I loved it!
Hansel & Gretel kick some serious butt in the movie.
The film had such a strong start, that I thought that it was going to be one of those films that has a strong start to get you hooked and then slow down and be a bit dull throughout but it was full on action through most of the movie. And even when it was not fighting scenes and magic, it was a good story too.
The characters were amazing I actually grew to like Hansel & Gretel their relationship was so strong as brother and sister that you could see they were there for each other all the way through (mostly).
Also, there was a fantastic character named Edward. He was a huge ogre that was being controlled by witches.
He was such an awesome character.
One of the things I really liked about this movie is it looked like there was not much CGI it felt like a classic old movie because of the effects they used but it was not a bad attempt at the effects. Everything looked great.
Edward, for instance, looked like he was made of animatronics.
The magic was obviously CGI, but looked really good also.
The acting was really good the movie stars Jeremy Renner as Hansel and Gemma Arterton as Gretel.
Famke Janssen played the lead witch Muriel.
Everyone in the movie did a great job.
Hansel & Gretel might be a fairy tale, but whatever you do, don't let your kids watch this.
It is really adult orientated. The language is full on there are a lot of obscenities and even some nudity also the violence it gory. There is a lot of blood. I loved the way some of the people died in this film it felt like a great horror film.
I will give this film 8 out of 10.
A great surprise and I can't wait to see it again.
