Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters



The plot was a little empty, but I tend to enjoy fairy tale movies, and this one was creative enough to be entertaining.

I wasn't expecting much from Hansel & Gretel. Roeper didn't review it. IMDb said it was okay, albeit gory, so I decided I didn't need to see it in the theater. The acting wasn't bad. I haven't been a fan of Jeremy Renner yet, and I've never heard of Gemma Arterton before, although apparently she was in Prince of Persia. It was cool seeing Peter Stormare as the sheriff, though.

I liked how the language was modern. They got to use a lot of curse words since it was rated R, and that worked well. 

The Craft

I wanted to see this for a couple years after it came out, and then I forgot about it. It was pretty much what I was expecting (now, not then). It was decent enough. Fairuza Balk was not, and apparently still is not, pretty at all..but her eyes really are turqoise.
