Tons of fine ideas. nice visuals, superb and fun having and loving actors. This little movie is a hell of a joyride for everyone who likes to be entertained without using too much of his brain capacities ;) I really dunno too many movies in which the kindling and blowing up of witches looked more funnier. I guess this is the funniest of them all. I can only remember Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers to be more fun, but well, no witches but only vampires there...One word to describe Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters!? FUN.

When someone claims to re-imagine something in Hollywood, it's a sure sign the person has no imagination. If you can't come up with something of your own, you may as well ruin someone else's stuff.This movie is a boring, meandering, poorly scripted, poorly acted, poorly choreographed, poorly filmed, poorly costumed, poorly arted (is that a word) crap fest. It would be OK if it was funny or fun, but it's neither of those.For half the movie, guns and other weapons work on the witches. Then, suddenly, they become impervious to guns and other weapons. The witches' big plot is to make themselves impervious to fire. They need the top white witch's heart to do that. But that doesn't matter because the good guys find a book that lets them bless weapons, so the weapons again work on the witches (like the weapons worked in the first half of the movie).There's a back story about H and G's mom being a good witch who wouldn't run last time the evil witches tried to become impervious to fire. Oh yeah, their original plan was to have the towns folk burn H and G's mom, which would have destroyed her heart. The witches wouldn't have been able to use the heart to make them impervious to fire.Ah, the story makes no sense.

you have witch hunters, and witches that need to be hunted.thats pretty much it. The best thing about this movie is that there is very little else apart from hansel and gretel fighting witches, very little time is spent on development, love stories, side stories blah blah, Here you get exactly what the title offers, hansel and gretel from the fairy tale fame grown up chasing down a variety of witches.Whats not to like?

When you watch Hansel & Gretel:Witch Hunters it's clear that Quentin Tarantino would have been pleased.But it is not in any way shape or form target for Children it is Rated R and it very graphic almost too graphic. To be honest I never wanted to watch this movie for the fact it took a children story and made it a R-Rated film about our protagonists become witch hunters.There are a few things I will say I like about the film. Gemma and Jeremy performances work well for the film they seem to have enjoy working together. Famke Janssen made for a horror style villain. Her performance is evilStunts in this film makes you go that's insane plus the weapons that Hansel and Gretel use are creative as well.It's just the level of gore in this film really hurts it I know some people enjoy them others have them limits. I would advice watch with caution because the gore and violence in this movie take it to the limit often times I had to turn away because I have my limits when it comes to thatMy advice only watch it if you're curious some might like it some will think one watch that's it.I give Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunter an 6 out of 10
