Tedious, Tiresome

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2013)

Having survived a Witch's prison when they were children, Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) become Witch Hunters as adults. In turn, they hire themselves out to towns where children have been abducted by Witches, who need the children to perform a blood-moon ceremony that will ultimately keep Witches safe from fire.
There is something wrong with Hollywood when it thinks it knows that we all out here want to see Horror movies with Zombies, Vampires, and now Witches who want to do one thing: kill, kill , kill with blood spurting every which way, heads exploding and being lopped off. Yes, the CGI and special stunts are very good. It's the killings that are becoming tedious, tiresome and, yes: unhealthy. There are just too many of these types of stories and there doesn't seem to be any slowing down of them. They just go on and on and on..
When the killing action sequences go on forever, I tend to go to La La Land, sleep for a half hour, wake up and see that the killing action is still going on; and the process repeats when the next killing sequence comes around and they come around rather quickly. So if all you want to see are these killing action scenes, then this is for you. As for me, I am out.
So what's next? The Three Little Pigs as Hit men? (3/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: Yes, a good Witch's backside (there are good Witches?) Language: Yes.
