Great effects and acting, although slightly disappointing storyline

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2013)

I was a little apprehensive about going to watch this movie in the cinema initially. I was intrigued as to how the producers would re-create the famous fairytale and keep viewers interested in it. I have to say, i loved the movie. There was plenty of action in it for me, whilst not straying from the famous story side of the movie (because the original story did not involve guns and such like to my knowledge). One thing i must say, which is the reason i rated this movie a seven, is because viewers only just begin to learn about Gretel's background as a witch, and the movie ends. It become slightly more obvious towards the end anyway, however i personally feel as though this could have been adapted on.
