Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters - Seriously... what are you expecting?

I'll be straight with you... if you don't like this movie then it's YOUR fault! What are you expecting from a supernatural monster-hunting film, roughly based on a children's fairytale? It's not Shakespeare. It will never be remembered as a classic. There's no real character development or radical revelations about the deeper meaning of humanity.

What there is, is plenty of hideous witches getting blasted off their broomsticks by annoyingly attractive people with weapons that probably didn't exist when this film was probably set.
That's it. Shooting. Action. Witches screeching and the two leads posturing as they show how much sexier they are compared to us. Are you into that? Can you handle that? If so, give it a go - it's a daft, silly, splat-fest of a blast.

Remove your brain (you don't need it to appreciate this) and just back and enjoy it for all its silliness.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
