Great Film overall
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie was really bad, it had stupid acting, and a really really bad story. Ewww.I give Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters a 3/10
It's fun violent, and nothing cheesy of what I would assume people expect. It's a juiced up version of all the old school ginger bread house flicks I would hear as a kid. Now with guns! It's a great way to evolve it into a fantasy action movie.... now sure what the category would be. It's fun, violent, funny, now all they need is a video game ....
Tommy Wirkola knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it to be most effective. This movie expects you to turn your brain off (if you didn't already guessed that from the title).Witch Hunters is genuine fun. I had a blast from the beginning to the end. The action was nice, the jokes were funny and blood was spilled extensively and profanities were not used scarcely (it's nice to see an R-rated movie that uses it's rating in these days).I enjoyed performance of both main characters, though I like both Renner and Arterton, so if you have no strong feelings about them (or you don't like them) take this point with caution.If you're looking for a fun action movie, this just might be what you're looking for
Cinema is the art of adopting points of view and this one is unrelentingly poor in that way. Actors walk onto a figurative stage, mouthing off crucial lines about where we are in the plot, everything wooden. The story is trivial anyhow, the characters of the fairytale have grown up to be witch hunters in the vein of the action hero where they sling guns over shoulders and sashay in leather pants.Which means that it's exactly what it looks like it was going to be from the cover, an action movie adopting the skin of dark fantasy, much like Van Helsing, with medieval backdrops and gnarly monsters.Choppy so long as there's a plot where we must pretend that characters are facing odds that have some nailbiting significance, they're not really, even when shot or abducted. All that carries about as much gravity and surprise as watching someone pour cookie dough in a mold, biting our nails about whether or not a baked cookie is going to come out on the other end.On the upside it moves fast and leaves a trail of splatter. When we no longer have to bother with plot, we get a nice showdown up in the woods where a coven of witches is about to perform the climactic ceremony that night. The witches look rotten and ugly and there's a variety of them, the heroes plow and mow through them with guns and knives.
