Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters




Cast: Jeremy Renner,Gemma Arterton,Famke Janssen(Bad witch),Pihla Viitala(Good Witch)
Director: Tommy Wirkola
Genre: Fantasy,Action, Horror
 
Time pass entertainment.
 
Pluses:
  • I cant help but adore Jeremy Renner. His fan since the 'Hurt Locker' days.Though the screenplay is nothing outstanding to his level, but yet...he is quite a man :)
  • Gemma Arterton, stands at equal footing with Jeremy. Makes them look like a nice bro-sis duo working hand in hand and never sub juidicing or jeopardizing each others situations
  • Famke Janssen, is convincing as the witch woman, heading the entire drama
  • Pihla Viitala, is a good support and a lucky one to have romanced Jeremy ;)
  • The folktale twisted to suit the action drama, rendered just about fine. You wont mind watching it at least and not get bored. Thanks to the entire execution keeping it low on dialogues
 
 
Minuses:
  • Jeremy is capable of much better action sequences, the crew should have cashed upon it and make it a real action thriller. Alas!
  • Audience would love to watch some more nasty and horrifying witchcrafting. A lot of time wasted in hunting multiple witches, one witch instead with better content would have worked for the flick
 
 
My rating: 2.5/5
