Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters is a fantasy action film that was released in 2013. The movie is a continuation of the classic fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, and follows the siblings as they grow up to become professional witch hunters. The film takes place years after the siblings' encounter with the witch in the gingerbread house. Hansel and Gretel have dedicated their lives to protecting innocent people from witches and are known for their ruthless tactics and expertise. The story begins with the siblings arriving in the town of Augsburg, where children have been mysteriously disappearing. They quickly realize that a powerful witch is responsible for the kidnappings and set out to stop her.
Honestly, the movie kinda sucks. The story telling is pretty atrocious. How did Hansel and Gretel find out their past? The evil grand witch, Muriel, TOLD them -__-" The antagonist actually also revealed her evil plan. Isn't that pretty dumb? The only investigation that Hansel and Gretel ever do is to find the witches' last target.Okay, perhaps that is forgivable. After all, I know this would be bad right from the start and the main pull was actually the action. Unfortunately, even the action scenes left me unsatisfied. Phew..
The only good acting here belongs to Gretel who showed a wide range of emotions such as being badass, being trashed by the evil people, being vulnerable, being worried in search of his brother, being curious to know her past, etc. The only good acting here belongs to Gretel who showed a wide range of emotions such as being badass, being trashed by the evil people, being vulnerable, being worried in search of his brother, being curious to know her past, etc.

This is another classic fairy tale turned into a Hollywood blood-fest action movie. I am interested in this right from the very first time I saw the trailer. Well, looking at ladies going badass (headbutts, fist fights, crossbow, and guns) always excites me! Haha..
The story is quite simply an "extension" the fairy tale. Hansel and Gretel, as children, found the witch's candy mansion, got trapped, before finally outwitting and roasted the witch. They were unable to find their parents and from they onwards, they live as witch hunters. Many years after the event, they unknowingly returned to their town of origin upon the mayor's request. Children have been abducted by witch(es) and our witch hunters are tasked to retrieve the kids alive. From here, we come across various witches, an aspiring witch hunter, and a bigger witches plot which also revealed "missing" past of our heroes.

I expected Ben to be Gretel's boyfriend and Mina to be Hansel's girlfried. I was wrong. I have no idea why they are in the movie in the first place since they serve no purpose. Bah.. Okay perhaps Ben is there only to wipe Gretel's boobs and Mina is to show off her naked butt. The only good acting here belongs to Gretel who showed a wide range of emotions such as being badass, being trashed by the evil people, being vulnerable, being worried in search of his brother, being curious to know her past, etc.
So yup, this is nowhere near "Hawkeye vs Jean Grey" that Marvel fans imagine. Haha.. For your info, Hansel is played by the same guy as Hawkeye in Marvel: The Avengers and Muriel is played by Jean Grey in X-men movie trilogy.

With the help of a local woman named Mina, who is also a witch, they uncover the witch's plan and work together to defeat her. The film is filled with intense action sequences, wit, and humor. The use of modern weapons juxtaposed with the classic fairy tale elements creates a unique and entertaining experience. Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters received mixed reviews from critics but was a moderate success at the box office. The movie has gained a cult following and spawned discussions about the potential for a sequel. Overall, it is an enjoyable twist on a beloved fairy tale that combines fantasy, action, and horror elements..

The plot was weak and there were too many unnecessary action sequences that took away from the story. The characters lacked depth and I found it hard to connect with any of them. Overall, it was a forgettable movie that didn't live up to its potential.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

It had potential, but failed to deliver.
