Review of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) by Boy_Number_8 — 16 Aug 2014

If you're expecting some kind of masterpiece film of a re working of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel then this isnt the film for you. Essentially this is just a mindless action movie and thats not necessary a bad thing.

For fans of action movies then this will be great for your collection, if you like more subsentence then I recommend you stay away.

Im surprised how gory this film is, for some reason I assumed it was aimed toward early teens, its not, there is a lot of blood and cuts.

I cant help feeling that this film could have been something more if only more time was put into story and character back stories. Some of the fighting seens I thought were pretty well done but theres something to say when the film is over and I cant even remember any characters name (minus hansel and gretel).

I also never felt any bond between Gemma and Jermeny, their acting was at times very wooden. Famkie on the other hand gave a great performance.
