| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekThe Brothers Grimm may have come up with some cruel, weird material in their day, but they'd never condone actor abuse like this. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" could be a poster-movie for the exact type of gratuitously gun-heavy Hollywood flick that is being blamed for planting seeds of violence in young viewers. |
| Film School RejectsChristopher CampbellEven the most immature of viewers will find this to be dumb, messy, empty and an even bigger waste of Renner's talent than The Avengers. |
| Boston GlobeTom RussoWirkola tears through Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters with such giddy abandon, it ends up being splattery fanboy fun. Preposterous, clearly, but fun. |
| CNN.comTom CharityIf this long-delayed and blatantly pandering CGI malarkey is anything to go by, Hollywood's current craze for fairy tales isn't going to have a happy ending. |
| Boston PhoenixShaula Clark[A] craptastic orgy of gore - one that's way better than it has any right to be. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookUneven in tone and full of action, "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" is an above-average fever dream of a movie that's a grownup nod to a grim fairy tale. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyEven skillful actors, such as Jeremy Renner, can't rescue this silly, poorly executed retelling of the classic fable. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoMuch like the candy that lures in Hansel and Gretel, Wirkola's fairy tale transformation is a tasty indulgence - admittedly not for everybody, but a treat for those with the proper sweet tooth. |
