Most people rate this super low because they have no clue what's good, what's bad and how to properly review a movie. Their standard of a good movie and reason to view this one: "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" is one of the biggest disasters I've ever seen. The only reason I watched this one in theater, is in fact because people who liked crappy movies like Witch Hunters were apparently hating on this one. Great reviewers actually called this movie "decent", while metacritics even tend to use the word "good" reviewing this!
And YES, this movie definitely beat all others of its kind, which isn't really a difficult accomplishment on its own. The acting, word plays, and atmosphere were good. The directing and scenery overall was decent to say the least. Somehow, it felt like the movie missed something though...
**MINOR SPOILER** There was some unused potential in the pink capped daughter slash main character of the evil fairy tale. As well as the cat that drew some attention throughout the movie, but just seems to be an ordinary cat.
Overall, it was a good, not yet great movie. Nothing Oscar worthy, but definitely something to remember!
