Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
Genre: Action, Fantasy, Horror
Main Players: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen
General Gist: Spin on the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel
Deb's Take:
This was definitely a spin off of the story of Hansel and Gretel. Nothing like a fairy tale. I went to this with the hubby, we were a little skeptical, and my husband was even more shocked that I suggested this movie. Last year I really enjoyed the fairy tale spin off movies. (see my best and worst for 2012), figured this may fall into those same categories.
This one was a little different. Lots of gore, (which in 3D is very interesting) a Sci-fi sort of twist (which isn't my favorite) but I was sort of pleasantly surprised. The acting was pretty good. I wasn't really familiar with the 3 main players, but they all were great in their parts, (and for all you men...who doesn't love a girl in leather?) I was most impressed with Famke Janssen, she did evil well! I liked how the story was actually a story and not just a gory witch hunt. There were some funny parts and some suspenseful parts, and lots of gore, but all in all I was unexpectedly surprised that I liked it. I can't give it a top notch rating, because by no means did the movie move me in anyway, but I enjoyed my date!
