Starring: Jeremy Renner as Hansel, Gemma Arterton as Gretel, Famke Janssen (a.k.a. Jean Grey) as the Evil Witch (I didn't even know her name was supposed to be Muriel in the show)
Watched this yesterday evening!
I think I quite like Jeremy Renner, he's always given the same type of rugged, silent characters. Haha. I'm not the kind of girl who'd swoon over guys in movies, especially flower boys/pretty boys (e.g. Edward Cullen/any guy lead in a rom-com). I mean, yes they're handsome and all but I'm not that into that kinda flower-face, you know what I mean? Haha. (I admit I still go "Eh, so handsome") But hey, they're so deliberately picked to bring in the views to the movie - so of course the guy has to be some eye-candy right.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the show!!! I liked how Hansel and Gretel were very clearly mortals, fighting with their fancy weapons and hands and heads (spoiler: lol at Gretel's unexpected head-butt into the obnoxious sheriff's nose) and getting injured. It was all so manual and no random 'pew pew' and flying here and there and then THE ENEMY IS CRUSHED - no unrealistic crap.
The show was pretty realistic and the hero and heroine did get seriously injured a few times throughout the show, and there were a substantial amount of fighting scenes that kept me on my toes. Haha. The gory bits were abit disturbing at some points because it was all too unexpected and shocking (We watched the movie without even watching the trailer hahaha). Lots of fake blood and pieces of meat thrown everywhere. Haha.
Jean Grey (Famke Janssen, I never knew her name was so complicated -_- I always called her Jean Grey, I guess X-Men really made her fam-famous. Haha.) was a super awesome bitch of a witch haha.
Jean Grey & her artisan thin eyebrows. Probably one of few that can really rock thin eyebrows.
Gemma Arterton (Gretel) totally has that greek goddess look (I remember her from other movies where she is some damn beautiful immortal in white flowy chiffon haha). She has this gentle, quietly-strong look and is really quite pretty. She also appears to look slim, but towards the end, she changed her costume to a sleeveless gladiator sort of outfit and my first reaction was automatically, "Wow her arms are huge". Haha. The face size to upper torso size ratio... pretty off I'd say. Haha. Ok I'm not being mean but I was slightly shocked cos I thought she might be slimmer.
Gretel also appears to be super tall compared to Hansel (haha). (A quick check shows Gretel to be 170cm and Hansel to be 173cm.)
For those who are deciding whether to watch it, I'd rate it a 4/5 for the unexpected twists, substantial plot and many intense fight scenes: Guys, there's a 15 second bit where a lady's naked butt is flashed and one breast completely exposed. I think that might get you interested, hahaha.
