  Truly one wickedly spun tale with awesome shooting and fighting scenes directed for the classic fiary tale with a modern twist. Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemme Arterton) as children were left in the forest by their father (as the find out later in life) for their own protection.As they grow older they hone their craft to become witch executioners. If you are waiting to see this it is definitely worth the wait.

  Even though it is not part of their normal job description as witch hunters, Hansel(Jeremy Renner) and Gretel(Gemma Arterton) still find the time to stop off in a town to rescue Mina(Phila Viitala) from being falsely accused of being a witch by Sheriff Berringer(Peter Stormare). That is the same town, by the way, where children have been disappearing lately which Muriel(Famke Janssen), an actual witch, might know something about. Despite its admittedly dopey sounding premise, it was still possible for "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" to turn out to be something entertaining, especially after its cool opening sequence.(And it is a nice touch having Hansel being diabetic.) But as it soon becomes clear, the movie has no idea what it really wants to be nor what kind of tone it wants to have.(Adam McKay and Will Ferrell are listed as two of the movie's producers which is a clue but nothing more.) Emblematic of that is the casting. Jeremy Renner's normal understated style clashes with any kind of action while Gemma Arterton and Famke Janssen(both veterans of James Bond films) do very much get the whole larger than life thing this movie might be going for.

  Don't get excited. It's another entry into the fantasy/action genre (as per League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Van Helsing), with steampunk inspirations, alt soundtrack, and some little gore quotient. Add supposed to be catchy catchphrases whenere a baddie is dispatched and its pretty much predictable before the opening shots. Time passes quickly however and while not surprised you'll not be completely bored either.

  This was about as bloody a film as I can stand. Fortunately, it was presented in a style bordering on cartoonish, or I might not have made it through. As it was, I had to take several breaks to get through it. But, overall, it was a fun ride. Gemma Arterton (my latest crush) plays a bad-ass witch hunter who, together with her brother (Jeremy Renner), travel around the countryside hunting down the witches who are a plague upon the mythical land the story is set in. It was entertaining enough that I willingly suspended the logical right side of the brain and just let the story go where it wanted to. Good special effects, terrific costuming and make-up and a classic story of good and evil, and how far must the good guys venture over into the dark side in order to win the day. I queued this one for Gemma, and I am not at all sorry that I did.
