CinemaSins Version: Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters

Bonus Sin: No alarm clocks were invented to wake them at the beginning of the movie even though Hansel and Gretel have suspiciously weaponry advanced for someone living in a medieval fairy tale setting

The “man of reason tries to calm crowd with logic, but other asshole spews crowd with paranoia” cliché

Sheriff has hilarious accent that nobody in the audience takes seriously

Sheriff wears nose covering after Gretel headbutts him in the face, but is later shown without it after Gretel bites his nose.

Bonus Sin: The sheriff can never be as badass as the Governor from “The Walking Dead”

Gemma (actress playing Gretel) does a good masking American accent though sometimes she attempts to replicate the “tough Michelle Rodriguez” accent

Messenger sent by witch explodes into gore upon arrival; long ridiculous name of that spell included

Blood Moon gathering is supposed to make witches invincible? A blood moon actually occurs every six years so the witches should have killed Hansel and Gretel six years ago, but haven't done so for no reason

Bonus Sin: Is it like some power recharge event for witches like an Apple Store for a broken Ipad? Then they must be some lunasynthetic witches

There's record players to lure witches in the medieval times yet broomsticks run by magic. I think “Mechanical” would be a better M-word for it

The “guy chasing flying object while hanging on a wire attached to that object while sliding on the ground” cliche

The “person smacks into a tree after a vehicle is flipped in mid-air” cliche

Minor character (Jackson) proves his usefulness to the twins by tasering a witch, but later gets his head blown off by Grand Witch (RIP Jackson)

The town actually keeps files on EVERY individual in the town. You know with a society that has advanced technology such as weaponry and record players, but still has witch crazes you'd think this town would be more progressive than like I don't know some TYPICAL medieval town?

If the witches are working to steal a girl born on April for their Blood Moon sabbath, then why randomly blow up a f****** house in plain sight instead of using the element of surprise? Those are some dumb witches

And I know they might use that to distract the townspeople in order to steal the kid, but seriously you blew up somebody's house. The owner's going to have to deal with life insurance. Witches are assholes

Defending boy's gun barrel is directed with a witch's spell toward mother and is shot through the window. Witches are still assholes

“I'm not a good shot, that's why I have a shotgun” Pointless unbadass quote

How did the troll manage to sneak into the town in plain sight during the attack? What poor excuse will it be: It's nighttime?

Hansel beating up a witch with a bottle of children's milk HILARIOUS

Gretel's blood is the “last ingredient” to the sabbath? For every Blood Moon meeting why couldn't the witches kill her for this purpose in the first place. Also, this is never mentioned again later in the movie which makes this scene utterly pointless

The “male character cares for unconscious badass woman and touches breast, but badass woman catches pervert's hand in act and holds it hostage” cliche

“Not so hot, not so cold, but just right” A pointless allusion to a fairy tale

Bonus Sin: This makes the audience wonder why couldn't the title be changed to “Hansel and Gretel Hormone-Raging Bear Hunters” as bears were mentioned two times in the movie

Revelation: Mom of twins turns out to be a witch...kind of predictable

Hansel fitting into the “charming and joking toward the ladies male character” role

Farmer falls in love with white witch, bear Hansel and Gretel, potion in Blood Moon is key to being immune to fire...now all there needs to be is a potion that keeps them immune for decapitation, freezing waters, and other dangerous hazards that could easily kill a witch, key to potion is White Witch's heart, Grand Witch stirs rumors, angry mob surrounds house, dad takes children to safety in the woods, mob hangs dad once he comes back in front of white witch being burned on a stake...that's totally f***** up

Wands don't protect witches in Blood Moon gathering so Mina (another white witch) suggests blessing something...they bless ammo and guns, HALLELUJAH FIREARMS!

Supposedly invisible wire traps for flying witches. This is just like Home Alone...for witches?

HEY IT'S WITCH-CON!

Bonus: “That's a lot of witches” Thanks Hansel for stating the obvious

Corny Blood Moon transformation CGI effects

Grand Witch makes “dramatic” no more witch persecution/our time has come speech cliche

Grand Witch says “Finish him” cliche. A way to rip off from Mortal Kombat Miss Shang Tsung.

Oh look it's the Gatling Gun Witch Massacre from whenever the f*** this movie takes place

Wow a witch uses a “witch” shield unto gunfire to save herself...still an asshole.

If the Grand Witch followed Hansel and Gretel through their lives once they survived their ordeal with the witch in the candy house, why did it take a long f****** time for the grand witch to catch up to them? She could have killed them when they were young and vulnerable and save her race all the trouble to be hunted down by a pair of magic-immune witch hunters. Wow you are so dumb.

Mina the white witch had a wand all of this time and never told Hansel about it? WTF?! She could have blasted all of those witches in the gathering with that weapon instead of Hansel going down there, risking his life with a simple shotgun...What a selfish b****

I've got to admit Mina you're great at shooting your dark sisters with a gatling gun with accurate precision, but believe me you are TERRIBLE at being a witch! No wonder you got killed easily by the Grand Witch near the end of the movie you jerk off!

Three shotgun blasts to the Grand Witch and she still stands and beats the crud out of Hansel with a shovel...WHAT?

Bonus: “Finish her already” Yet another pointless MK quote
