Very enjoyable!

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2013)

I enjoyed this movie a lot, although it had its flaws. It's exactly what you would expect it to be from the trailer. If you're not looking for something in the same category as "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (or perhaps the first Kill Bill movie) then you probably won't like this movie.
In fact, Hansel & Gretel has exactly the vibe that I expected from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Van Helsing (and which those movies failed to deliver). It's ridiculous, absurd, over the top, and really fun to watch.
The biggest flaw was the poor set design in some scenes, as other reviewers have pointed out. I found it to be particularly noticeable in the climactic fight scene, where for a bit it looked like something out of an awful TV show. I'm not sure what they were thinking for that scene (you'll know it when you see it).
The script also has some distracting rough spots, but I thought that the actors did an excellent job with it.
Overall, if you like the trailer, you'll probably love the movie -- as long as you don't go in expecting Citizen Kane.
