I\u2019m sure more than a few examples exist, but I can only think of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cabin in the Woods<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the moment; a film shelved for two years that was met with critical adoration when it eventually saw the light of day. Then there are clunkers like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Thousand Words<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red Dawn<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you make you wish they would have stayed locked away in the dark recesses of their studio libraries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hansel &amp; Gretel: Witch Hunters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is somewhere in-between\u2014not good and definitely not terrible, but fun in a throwaway kind of manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the title of the movie failed to provide you with so much as an inkling as to what it\u2019s about, then allow me to give you a little rundown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola (who gave us the very cool zombie comedy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dead Snow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hansel &amp; Gretel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells the tale of a brother and sister who are abandoned in the woods by their father for unknown reasons. The two stumble upon a colorful and savory cottage made of confectionery which happens to occupied by a child-hungry witch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re captured, forced-fed candy until sick, prepared to be eaten, but end up killing the sorceress and escaping. From that day on, they devote their lives to hunting and killing witches. As Hansel (Jeremy Renner) will tell you, \u201cThe only good witch is a dead witch\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly thereafter we\u2019re treated to 80 minutes of Hansel and Gretel (played by the eternally beautiful Gemma Arterton) shooting, decapitating and setting fire to witches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lots and lots of witches. The action is mildly amusing, but what really surprised me were the practical effects used in bringing the creatures to life. In an interview, Wirkola noted that Sam Raimi\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evil Dead<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trilogy was a main source of inspiration and it really shows in this particular aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s so refreshing to see some kind of tangibility in a movie like this rather than artificial imagery. CGI is utilized where it needs to be, such as in the transformation the witches undergo from beautiful woman to grotesque hag, but for the most part, make-up and costumes is what you\u2019re seeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edward the troll (played by Derek Mears who suited up as Jason for the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friday the 13th<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reboot) is by far the most impressive practical creation the film offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from that, I can\u2019t say that the tongue-in-cheek nature of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hansel and Gretel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> works as well\u2014if at all\u2014as the aforementioned <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evil Dead<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trilogy. The dialogue isn\u2019t as clever and the screenplay is way too dependent on the sporadic use of the F-word for laughs. I\u2019ve heard some people say that this movie would have been more successful if Wirkola played it more as a comedy but to them I say nay. Give this film some dramatic bravado and darker undertones and it could have been potentially thrilling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ironically, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hansel &amp; Gretel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suffers the same problem that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> did in that the main character(s) aren\u2019t given enough time to develop their personas before the blood and guts are thrown at us, not even 15 minutes into the story. Both films start out with our heroes experiencing some traumatic childhood event that eventually paves the way for the line of work they involve themselves in. I wanted to see more of Honest Abe\u2019s time as a child after misfortune befell him and the time spent leading up to his \u2018night job\u2019 and the same goes for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hansel &amp; Gretel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you just thrust me into the action without any kind of pre-established emotional ties with the characters, then I\u2019m just not going to care what happens to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film\u2019s 88-minute runtime doesn\u2019t help matters either. Call me crazy but this thing needed to be at least 30 minutes longer. There are way too many plot contrivances that are set-up just to satisfy the short runtime and it kills whatever dramatic tension and suspense the movie could have had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all of its many problems, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hansel &amp; Gretel: Witch Hunters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gets a minor pass for its wackadoo premise and intermittent bouts of unabashed fun. You\u2019ll forget about it as soon as the credits roll, but the time spent with it isn\u2019t a complete waste<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are rare instances in which a long-delayed movie that is finally released actually ends up being worth a watch.
