Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters movie review

You can read my review here.







Pros

- The fight sequences are really well done and very well choreographed.

- The movie does try to be tongue in cheek.  It does know what it is to an extent.



Cons

- Acting that veers between really wooden to really hammy and not in a particularly entertaining way.

- Really flat script that doesn't allow for much in the way of character development.  Even the two siblings don't really seem to play off each other particularly well and show little personality.

- Even at just 90 minutes, the movie does drag quite a bit.



Overall


I'll admit, the movie has more going for it than I thought it would.  I could have easily seen this being an entertaining Summer popcorn movie if it had tried a bit harder, but while the action sequences are solid, there isn't enough here to warrant more than a rental.  Even then, you could find other movies in which to invest your time.
