    Hansel&Gretel: Witch Hunters is TERRIBLE. The fight choreography is good, but the rest of the movie is absolutely not. I warned her before I pushed play. She didn’t believe me.

    Some of my favorite OSTs are from very "meh" movies. The biggest mis-match was probably the Alan Parsons soundtrack for Ladyhawke. Great movie, awesome OST, they go together miserably. They ruin each other. BATTLESHIP and HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS both have amazing OSTs.

But critics give movies like Blair Witch 38 % and Avatar 82 %.…

    (41/54) 12. Gretel & Hansel (2020) Not to be mistaken with the earlier Hansel & Gretel (2007). Movie in general has great imagery, & some great liminal vibes, by the Blackcoat's Daughter director earlier (who's also behind Long Legs), the Fairy Tale motif gives liminal whimsy.

    Mirror Mirror and OUAT are great because they adapt the cruel aspects of fairy tales. Mirror Mirror more in comedy/satyre sense while OUAT goes a little more CW show with it. The Huntsman on the other hand is one of those "lets make it an superhero/action movie" type of proyect like Hansel & Gretel.
