Rock 'em, sock 'em good time!

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2013)

Every since I saw the trailer for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters during the previews to the most recent Resident Evil flick, I've been looking forward to it. Jeremy Renner has put out a handful of really great movies in the past few years, while Gemma Arterton is absolutely stunning. Famke Janssen makes a rare appearance as well.
From start to finish, my blood was pumping and I couldn't sit still. There was plenty of action (including tons of blood and gore), solid acting, a fun plot, and awesome one-liners.
The film, directed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow), will never leave you bored.
Renner (Hansel) and Arterton (Gretel) are likable characters with a little depth and that's pretty much all you need from this type of film. They work well together. Renner gets plenty of one-liners while playing a stubborn character, while Arterton plays the more emotional sibling. Janssen (Muriel) plays a sadistic but fun evil witch. Pihla Viitala, who plays Mina, is a fun character who you will fall in love with. Ben and Edward are two more characters that will gain the hearts of the audience.
If you're looking to have a good time while not having to think too much, this movie is exactly what you're looking for. You can wind down from your week, watch this film, and fall in love.
Go watch this and you're in for one hell of a ride!
