First movie of 2014

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2014)

I did not love this movie, but I did not hate it. I am not sure if I even liked the movie, but I did not dislike it. For every cool moment there was an eye rolling moment. I found some of the gore funny, but nothing to write home about. The witch design was the coolest part of the movie and I wished during the final witch battle that the director showed off some of the other witches more. Even with these entertaining moments there are some terrible story moments. I am not going to go into details about specifics, but there was more than one groan. The acting was not campy enough for the premise and Renner cannot pull off a Bruce Campbell like character which this movie needs. I think there is some potential in retelling of old school fairy tales, but this is a very middling affair.
