Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Just a waste of space of a movie. Sorry was that opening line too much? Everything about this movie was just so dumb. The overall concept, the action, the acting. What I never understand is why is the acting bad? I mean I’ve seen both the main stars in other movies before. Did they just forget how to act? Did the director just say “Hey do whatever” and printed it.

The movie follows a pretty basic storyline. Take the original story and add guns and automatic crossbows to it. The two siblings hunt witches with their kung fu and weapons. There’s a lot more to the story, but it’s not worth getting into.

Don’t see the movie is what I’m pretty much trying to convey. I mean I only wrote about it because Netflix put it on. I stopped watching after the first few minutes and then turned it back on again later. This movie was almost set up to be bad. Why would Jeremy Renner do this movie? He just came off of the Avengers and the new Bourne series. Doesn’t need the money.

I give this movie a well-deserved 0.5/5 because I liked the outfits and design of the weapons. I know it’s my site and all, but don’t think I could be that bad and give it a 0 rating.
