Let's be realistic.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's fun violent, and nothing cheesy of what I would assume people expect. It's a juiced up version of all the old school ginger bread house flicks I would hear as a kid. Now with guns! It's a great way to evolve it into a fantasy action movie.... now sure what the category would be. It's fun, violent, funny, now all they need is a video game ....

you have witch hunters, and witches that need to be hunted.thats pretty much it. The best thing about this movie is that there is very little else apart from hansel and gretel fighting witches, very little time is spent on development, love stories, side stories blah blah, Here you get exactly what the title offers, hansel and gretel from the fairy tale fame grown up chasing down a variety of witches.Whats not to like?

Tommy Wirkola knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it to be most effective. This movie expects you to turn your brain off (if you didn't already guessed that from the title).Witch Hunters is genuine fun. I had a blast from the beginning to the end. The action was nice, the jokes were funny and blood was spilled extensively and profanities were not used scarcely (it's nice to see an R-rated movie that uses it's rating in these days).I enjoyed performance of both main characters, though I like both Renner and Arterton, so if you have no strong feelings about them (or you don't like them) take this point with caution.If you're looking for a fun action movie, this just might be what you're looking for

Not as bad as I expected, but still pretty bad. Actually has a plot, which was the biggest surprise, and there is enough intrigue in it to keep the movie going. Rest is pretty silly: the modern technology and dialogue in a medieval setting, the predictable action sequences and over-the-top special effects.While Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner are good actors, they are miscast here. Both deserve something more serious, or polished at least. They both struggle to look convincing, as if they were going through the motions. Must be difficult for serious performers to apply themselves when the script is this farcical. Gemma Arterton does make the movie worth watching though...
