Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Reviews
... A story that -- fortunately -- lasts less than an hour and a half. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 22, 2024
Is it the worst movie you’ll see? Hardly. Does it have a few moments that work? Well, yes. But are there a number of better ways you could spend your time? Most definitely.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 26, 2022
Be it the fault of the filmmakers or the concept itself, something about leather-clad badasses who trek through antiquated Eastern-European countries to fight monsters with an elaborate, modernish arsenal just never seems to work.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Sep 20, 2022
...more entertaining than one might've anticipated...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 1, 2021
There's no life to be found in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020
Patently ridiculous, totally in on the joke, and a total damn blast.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 11, 2020
An action-packed, gore-filled blast. It knows exactly what type of movie it is and it never tries to be anything more than its title.

Vampire Hunter, this junky offering is equally, hopelessly unnecessary.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 4, 2020
In its slightly hammy script, predictable plot lines and cliché characters, it is very much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get film - wasting an opportunity to be... more than your average fairytale adaptation.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 9, 2019
It is bombastically ridiculous, over the top, and innocuous enough to be vaguely entertaining, and possibly various designers' inspiration to hire them for their next ad campaign. That's all.
| Jul 30, 2019
A streamlined and steam-cleaned studio product that can't decide if it's an adult horror or a children's fantasy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 9, 2019
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters winds up being one of those movies that sounds better in a description of its better component parts than it plays onscreen.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 30, 2019
Which doesn't mean it's bad... well, yes it is. It is really bad. But there are odd bits of redemption lingering in its depths that are truly baffling to behold.

If you went into this movie expecting anything more than the title suggests, you deserve to be disappointed.
| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Nov 1, 2018
Hansel & Gretel, a bizarrely updated twist on the fairy tale, is the perfect example of a movie that is both intentionally and unintentionally funny at the same time.
| May 23, 2018
That it is so hilariously awful and staggeringly terrible across so many levels makes it a Hall of Famer.

Treat yourself: buy the pick'n'mix but skip the film.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2017
Viewing the film in IMAX 3D was less an experience than an endurance test.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 14, 2016
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters ends with the suggestion that there is more to come. That seems overly optimistic.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 17, 2016
A cinematic Rube Goldberg machine, stocked with attention-grabbing but incongruous moving parts, working in concert to achieve nothing.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 12, 2016
