Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

mike-downing-1 This is a fun flick.The actors do a good job. Delta Burke is excellent and Lynn Redgrave has many funny lines. The child actors did a good job as well. And while I usually don't care much about Howie Mandell, I think he struck the right note as the Sandman.Yes, the sets are simple, but this is a fairy tale. Fairy tales are skin and bones--nighttime stories--they are not meant to be miracles of on-location production.Maybe I'm old school, but I'll take a good story with good actors on a simple stage over fancy special effects any time. My wife and I watched Hansel and Gretel after we watched Cloverfield (with all of its special effects, including intentional shaky camera), and we thought H&G was way better.Plus, there is no swearing, no boob or penis jokes, and no gratuitous violence. Not that I'm a prude, but I think they did a good job of preserving the message of the movie: magic resides in our dreams.A fun film for the entire family.

vlad_tepes97 i read the DVD case. it promised a stellar cast and adventures for my 8yr old daughter. i got it for my daughter and watched it with her. it was awful from start to finish. it made me cringe all the way through. i could feel my IQ dropping the longer i watched.1. flatulence humour. no thanks.2. anachronistic dialogue and so-called "cool" slang.3. pitiful indoor sets. it looked like they were just shooting the same set from a different side of the room.4. references, in what was probably meant to be a children's movie, to adult movies like the silence of the lambs was just the pits.5. smartmouthed and pointless characters.the lone bright spots for me were mcraney and redgrave. at least they sounded almost authentic.oui. c'est le garbage.

pac8 A fun film. Yes, it's long. Yes, it does seem a bit redundant at times, but the modern twists and dialogue and, if you are paying close attention, a bit of Monty Python and various other more mature film lines tucked in for fun, not to mention a certain chorus from a Metallica song, Sandman.Howie Mandell did a great job as the Sandman but the character seemed a bit off with it's stereotypical "gay lisp" and at the same time, ogling the Wood Fairy - who resembles a certain young lady from Tomb Raiders with her Fairy wands strapped to her thighs and her short shorts. Delta Burke was fun as the Wicked Stepmother. You truly wanted to see her get her just desserts in the end, but she doesn't. And even that was a nice twist on the tale. Lynn Redgrave always adds to a role. She is superb as the fiendish female version of Hannibal Letcher. This is aimed at an older audience, not little children. The humor and the references are going to go over the heads of the younger set.

Daleylife Hansel and Gretel, is the story of two kids who meet a witch in a house made of gingerbread. But this version, is twisted.The stepmother, wants to live in a house with a tv, and thinks the kids will stop her from that. So, she takes them into the woods, and leaves. Hansel & Gretel get lost, and meet the sandman, a wood fairy and the troll.But, a "twister" blows them towards a gingerbread house, and a near-sited old woman comes out, offering them food... but, the woman is not what she seems...This film has a great cast, and the story is great. But, there are several gags that slow down the storyline. One of which, is that the story is being told by a father telling his children. (the father is "reading" the book, but makes things up, which explains the twisted version)This film is good, but the gags might tempt you to turn it off, before you even see the witch in her gingerbread house.7/10
