Worth the Watch

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2013)

I thought that it was a good movie--pretty funny and kind of quirky actually. If you can stand some grotesque violence, ugly witches, and relatively foul-mouthed Hansel and Gretel, then I think that it was worth the watch. Not going to win any academy awards, I don't think, but worth the watch.
There were some great twists (though not too unpredictable) that added to the plot, and I appreciated the wrestling that Hansel had to go through to accept his past and his heritage. Definitely a couple of cute actresses as well. In my opinion, this would have been better as a PG-13 movie with some of the over-the-top violence, the one brief and unnecessary nudity scene, and the slightly excessive though ironically clever f-bombs from Gretel removed.
