Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

As a child, I always had this one simple dream. For someone to create a movie set in times of the dirty stupid peasant folk and scary woods full of witches and of course, sexy witch hunters. Every little kid's dream. Heck yes. Here it is. Just gore and fun. This film is ridiculous and has it all. Hansel has diabetes (brilliant idea), there's always funny dialogue. There are some kick- ass weapons and fight scenes, there's even a machine gun in one of them! Gemma Arteron is just sexy, even more attractive in this than any of her previous films; Sands of Time, Quantum of Solace, Clash of the Titans, Byzantium...you get the point. How can you hate on a film where any hot actress is in tight black leather? My dream came true. But is there a sequel? Still waiting. Can we have Jeremy Renner in tighter leather next time? Or is that just a Hawkeye thing? Maybe even have a female love interest for Gretel? Times have changed!

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is a solid, unpretentious action film that entertains. diabetic Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and his sister Gretel (Gemma Arterton) are orphans who might had once been helpless in the forest but moved onto become witch-hunters after destroying a cannibalistic witch who planned to eat them once upon a time.They now go town to town where children have been abducted and slay witches. However when they encounter Muriel, an evil witch they learn of their own childhood traumas and about white witches that reveal the real reason they might have been left abandoned in the forest.The film has enough gory action, good CGI, low running time and some humour. It is stupid and fun.

The Brothers Grimm are rolling - over and over and over and over again - because of this awful waste of time and money of a movie. Think of this movie as a train ride, with some big name actors drawn to board the train to Stupidville. Let's get on the train with them and see the sights along the way -- here they are: Anachronisms in scripted dialogue and props! A variety of ways to dismember a human body! Bodies, and lots of them, being tossed into and through hard solid objects! Hard objects, and lots of them, shattering, splitting, disintegrating, and generally falling apart when human bodies get thrown through them! Ridiculous make-up effects! Fights! And all of these sights so repetitively done that they stop being interesting as redundant scenery on your train ride to Stupidville. Oh, but you'd still better watch because you'll be rewarded by getting to see a big rubber troll! It would be really great to get to Smartville, even Funville, but this train runs only one way to, and stops only at Stupidville.

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
