Fantastically disgusting! Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is a fun, gross, action-packed, ride. You won't find much substance but I doubt anyone would approach it expecting any.
I hate to keep doggin on Jeremy Renner but he's not a good actor. He's bland in almost every role he's been in and this movie is no exception. Further, he looks far too old to be Gretel's brother.
The one thing this movie lacks is humor. There's a lot of room for humor in Renner's role which is why his character is even more disappointing. I would've loved to see a comedic action star like Jensen Ackles, Ryan Reynolds or even Justin Timberlake for goodness sake!
Famke Janssen as the main dark witch is the best evil villainess that you absolutely love to hate. She's far better in this movie than the X-Men series.
The special effects are pretty crazy and overall has a Van Helsing feel. It's worth a rental and worth watching the sequel if there is one (hopefully with Hansel recast).
On a scale of 1-10 Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is 7.5
