“Old tale, new twist is right . . . almost too new. No matter how prepared you might be going in to see this movie, it still might throw you for a loop. Please don’t go in expecting incredible performances, or a top notch script, or even a really interesting story because you’re not going to get it. This is one of those movies that are made just for the fun of it, and believe me, this movie is a lot of fun. Yeah it’s cheesy and sometimes even corny, but it will entertain you by way of action, special effects, and fun, bloody fun. This Hansel and Gretel sequel takes the story to a whole new level and way beyond any resemblance of a childhood fairy tale. A film like this is built off of the blatant action which is well done in this case. We get good gun play, fast paced fight sequences, elaborate and assorted weaponry, and decent special effects too. The cinematography is not too shabby either. The props and sets were very appropriate, although some of the weaponry looked a little ahead of the time, so to speak. And speaking of being ahead of the time, the dialogue was very modern which helps cause the loop throw. The dialect was mostly modern American English while it probably would have sounded more appropriate to have an older European English dialect. I’m guessing, and hoping, that this was done on purpose, although I don’t see why. It just doesn’t match, but we try to get passed that. And speaking of the witches, even though we weren’t, the makeup work was quite impressive and frightening. Now all of these details are well enhanced by the 3D IMAX, so seeing it in regular mode might make it seem cheaper. I lost count of how many times Priscilla jumped in her seat due to the 3D aspect of this action fest. READ FULL HANSEL & GRETEL WITCH HUNTERS REVIEW >>
