fcabanski When someone claims to re-imagine something in Hollywood, it's a sure sign the person has no imagination. If you can't come up with something of your own, you may as well ruin someone else's stuff.This movie is a boring, meandering, poorly scripted, poorly acted, poorly choreographed, poorly filmed, poorly costumed, poorly arted (is that a word) crap fest. It would be OK if it was funny or fun, but it's neither of those.For half the movie, guns and other weapons work on the witches. Then, suddenly, they become impervious to guns and other weapons. The witches' big plot is to make themselves impervious to fire. They need the top white witch's heart to do that. But that doesn't matter because the good guys find a book that lets them bless weapons, so the weapons again work on the witches (like the weapons worked in the first half of the movie).There's a back story about H and G's mom being a good witch who wouldn't run last time the evil witches tried to become impervious to fire. Oh yeah, their original plan was to have the towns folk burn H and G's mom, which would have destroyed her heart. The witches wouldn't have been able to use the heart to make them impervious to fire.Ah, the story makes no sense.

Kirpianuscus it is part of a tend. precise target, technology as tool for recreate a new/modern version of a classic fairy tale, fight scenes and dark secrets, challenges and the link between good heroes. magic and fragments of legends and the original story as pretext. nothing new. or touching. a decent work. impressive for the same details like many other movies from the same genre. seductive for small crumbs. good manner to resurrect myths. and Renner in the right clothes of hero. the victims are the masters of justice and the old witch is so vulnerable behind her tricks. so, a nice film. for teenagers and for the fans of genre.

scarecrow-00856 Tommy Wirkola knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it to be most effective. This movie expects you to turn your brain off (if you didn't already guessed that from the title).Witch Hunters is genuine fun. I had a blast from the beginning to the end. The action was nice, the jokes were funny and blood was spilled extensively and profanities were not used scarcely (it's nice to see an R-rated movie that uses it's rating in these days).I enjoyed performance of both main characters, though I like both Renner and Arterton, so if you have no strong feelings about them (or you don't like them) take this point with caution.If you're looking for a fun action movie, this just might be what you're looking for

grantss Not as bad as I expected, but still pretty bad. Actually has a plot, which was the biggest surprise, and there is enough intrigue in it to keep the movie going. Rest is pretty silly: the modern technology and dialogue in a medieval setting, the predictable action sequences and over-the-top special effects.While Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner are good actors, they are miscast here. Both deserve something more serious, or polished at least. They both struggle to look convincing, as if they were going through the motions. Must be difficult for serious performers to apply themselves when the script is this farcical. Gemma Arterton does make the movie worth watching though...
