Great 3D effects but....

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2013)

I don't understand as to why this film wasn't preview so much for its release in January but never mind to that. Hansel&Gretel: witch hunters takes on a modern twist to the Grimm Brothers story. The film starts off to when Hansel and Gretel are taken into a forest late at night by their father who refuses to reveal anything to them under their plea as to what is going on. Lost in the forest the two find a house made of candy and begin to eat off of it before embarking into the house. Little did they know they would meet an evil witch who threatens to kill them. But the two ended up stuffing her in fire for she to die and that typically explains as to why they became witch hunters. For the duration of the film to only last 88 minutes its easily forgettable. The action comes in at the right moments during the film but what really lacked was character development since the movie moved that fast. I felt i didn't get to know the characters all that well so that makes me not care for any of the characters weather they live or die. But i give credit to the 3D effects as it was spot on. It was pretty gory but I handled it well. Overall it was an interesting and entertaining movie... But it's easily forgettable.
