FIlm Review - Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters (2013)

Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton going around killing witches for the sake of it, yup sounds good to me! :)

I've wanted to see this movie for a while now, so decided to see it last week. We had originally just booked 3D tickets before discovering it was also showing in D-Box at the same time, so had to go upgrade our tickets. It worked ok as a D-Box movie. Not as good as the likes of Die Hard and The Expendables (which were the last movies i saw on D-Box) but it still had an impact. The 3D was the same. It worked better in some scenes than others. Seeing it normally though, you wouldn't miss out on much. 

As for the movie itself, it was predictable. The ending and the twist was obvious. But i'm not saying it's a bad movie. It's good fun to watch, if you don't mind not having much of a plot. The plot is there, but you know what's going on the whole time so you don't really have to think, just watch the two of them kill almost everything that moves. 

The gory and violence is a bit over the top in some scenes. For example, there is a scene where they're killing a witch and decide to stomp her head off. Why? For the sake of it. It is a bloody and violent film but goofy at the same time for that reason. 

I liked the twist on the classic fairy, so it's a good idea as a film, but as i said, it's predictable. If you want a goofy action movie with loads of blood and guts, this is one to look into. It's over the top fun!!
