Magic Ice Iceland is a unique and enchanting attraction located in the heart of Reykjavik. It is a museum made entirely of ice and snow, offering visitors a one-of-a-kind experience. Upon entering the museum, visitors are transported to a winter wonderland, with walls, sculptures, and even furniture made entirely of ice. The magical ambiance, created by the soft lighting and intricate ice designs, is truly mesmerizing. The museum showcases the work of talented ice sculptors, who have transformed blocks of ice into stunning works of art. From intricate ice carvings of animals to impressive ice thrones, every detail is carefully crafted to captivate visitors and immerse them in the mystical world of ice.

For the rest of the story, a 20-years later addendum, you ll need to check out Hansel Gretel Witch Hunters, the latest in the revisionist Grimm series that thus far has included CG-heavy spins on Snow White and Red Riding Hood. Minus the broomsticks and gnarled branches constantly jabbing you in the eye, there wouldn t be much to keep you awake in this formulaic, albeit action-packed, return to the forbidden forest.
From intricate ice carvings of animals to impressive ice thrones, every detail is carefully crafted to captivate visitors and immerse them in the mystical world of ice. One of the highlights of the museum is the Ice Bar, where visitors can sip on their favorite drinks from glasses made entirely of ice. The bar's unique setting, combined with the cool temperature, offers a refreshing and unforgettable experience.

And you thought you had abandonment issues. As you’ll recall, Hansel and Gretel were repeatedly left in the woods by their father, doing the bidding of a nasty stepmother. Finally good and lost, the siblings happened upon a candy cottage ‒ the perfect refuge for sugar junkies.
For the rest of the story, a 20-years later addendum, you’ll need to check out “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters,” the latest in the revisionist Grimm series that thus far has included CG-heavy spins on Snow White and Red Riding Hood. To guarantee padded weekend returns, Paramount is offering the fantasy in a choice of IMAX, 3D and standard digital. I opted for 3D, the only way to go. Minus the broomsticks and gnarled branches constantly jabbing you in the eye, there wouldn’t be much to keep you awake in this formulaic, albeit action-packed, return to the forbidden forest.
Edward, trolling for attention
There’s certainly not much in way of narrative here ‒ do we really care that Hansel suffers from periodic sugar crashes? ‒ but I have to say the verdant German locations, gingerbread sets and conflicted troll named Edward almost held my attention.
A word to the wise: This is one children’s fantasy not meant for children. It’s rated R for a reason, and it has a good deal to do with coarse language and more flying viscera than the average splatter-film. Characters are smooshed, drawn-and-quartered, eviscerated. The climactic witches convention turns into a “Wild Bunch” slaughter.
Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arteton play Hansel and Gretel, now legendary bounty hunters known far and wide for their exploits. Like characters out of a spaghetti Western, they sport leather outfits and pack the latest in rapid-fire crossbows and blunderbusses. All the better to do battle with grand witch Muriel (Famke Jenssen), who with her minions plans a blood-moon Walpurgis Night. Main ingredients for the invincibility spell? Twelve children and the heart a Great White Witch (Gretel will do).
Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola, who marshaled Nazi zombies in the cult number “Dead Snow,” seems to have been aiming for something campy and irreverent. A melding of Rob Reiner’s “The Princess Bride” and Roald Dahl’s “Witches” perhaps? He misses badly, thanks to the leaden, cliché-riddled script, heavy on such nuggets as “The only good witch is a dead witch” and “You move, you die!” The aerial acrobatics could have been lifted from Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The sole redeeming element? That ol’ granite-faced softy, Edward the Troll. Think Ron Perlman on massive steroids and you’ll have a good idea of what to expect.

Reviews for "Fascinating Legends and Myths of Iceland's Magic Ice"
1. Rachel - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to try Magic Ice Iceland because I had heard so many great things about it. However, I was disappointed with the overall experience. The ice sculptures were not as impressive as I had expected and there were only a few areas to explore. The ticket price was quite high considering the limited attractions. Additionally, the staff seemed disinterested and not very helpful. Overall, I felt like the experience did not live up to the hype and I would not recommend it.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - Magic Ice Iceland was a complete letdown. The entire attraction felt very small and cramped, with limited space to move around. The ice sculptures themselves were not very intricate or detailed, leaving me underwhelmed. The temperature inside was also not properly regulated, making it uncomfortable to spend more than a few minutes inside. The pricing was exorbitant for what was offered. I left feeling like I had wasted my time and money, and I would not recommend visiting Magic Ice Iceland.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - My visit to Magic Ice Iceland was quite underwhelming. While the concept of an ice museum sounded interesting, the execution fell short. The ice sculptures were not well-maintained and seemed to be melting in some areas. The atmosphere inside was not as immersive or magical as I had hoped, and it was also quite crowded. The staff did not seem enthusiastic or engaged with the visitors. Overall, I would not choose to visit Magic Ice Iceland again or recommend it to others.
