Great, another overly feminist film. How fuc*king great. What is up with Hollywood for these last few months?! December and January have been abysmal. Cats, Black Christmas 2019, The Grudge 2020, Dolittle, and now this! Oh god

What they did well, they did very well. Cinematography, production, score and the performance of the leads, Gretel and the Witch, were excellent. What they did poorly was a slow story that meandered and mumbled too much. What they didWhat they did well, they did very well. Cinematography, production, score and the performance of the leads, Gretel and the Witch, were excellent. What they did poorly was a slow story that meandered and mumbled too much. What they did terribly was the embarrassingly woke casting of minor characters. This kind of thing is just eyerollingly stupid. Do a Ghanian version of Hansel and Gretel with Ghanaian actors and we’ll go see it. Don’t shoehorn diversity in for the sake of it where it is obviously out of place. It detracts and diminishes minorities and Europeans alike. Expand

PC, intersectional bastardized fairy tale. Acting is fine, sets are fine, story that the world is driven by magic woman’s decisions and not faith family fidelity is social justice swill. Glad I did matinee with senior discount.

Not scary, not a rich story, boring, one of the worst movies I spent money on and I really wanted to walk out of the movie because it was that disinteresting but I was out with my Mom on a daytrip in a new town so we sat through and endured it. We left both feeling like we wasted our time. It doesn't have appeal in any way- Do not waste your time. Expand

The best part about this movie is the run time of 90 minutes. I should not be bored at 60 minutes. The narration is completely unnecessary in the movie.

This is a watch for free on streaming service after there is nothing else on your list type of movie. Don't waste your hard earned money on it. I will give an up for some solid visuals but its too little, too late. Expand

The acting didn’t even save it. It was dull and dreary. It was not scary, just yuck. It made us feel like we needed fresh air afterwards. It is a firm NO. Skip it Expand

Alice Krige's performance was excellent, and I suppose something can be said for the cinematography and art direction. It's the writing that really brings this title down. Do not recommend.

The name of the tale is "Hansel and gretel", not "gretel and Hansel", so 0/10.

I basically can watch any movie and find silver linings.
Hell, I even enjoyed recently '47 METERS DOWN: Uncaged' and it's a very bad and basic movie.
But Gretel & Hansel is so boring in every possible way that can't find any way to recommend

Pretty bad movie honestly it just doesn't delivery in any aspect at all. It was pretty bad. Not scary and the story was lame, one of the worst "Horror/scary" movies I watched in a long time. Gonna give it a 3 out of 10. Not recommended at all.

I don't know if to blame it on myself but the trailer is misleading. Some scenes I don't even remember being in the film. There are things they do get right though.

There are things they do get right though. The lighting and visual depictions are very mesmerizing (especially for a cut trailer). But when you piece all these together and leave a massive void between each with nothing particularly interesting to help advance the plot, it leaves for a very lackluster film. Not enough new content to bring back another retelling of a story such as this. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Maybe I missed something...
I know the story as a kid, and I went in expecting this to be scary and totally different from the story as a kid, the same as they have turned other childhood stories into horror films. This film missed a lot of opportunities to develop the story to make it a great horror film. It was very boring, confusing and not scary at all. It seem like it was a prequel to a much bigger story. I wouldn't waste my money going to the theater to see this, wait until it hits DVD or a streaming app.

Nothing like the story, Really lacked in direction. My attention was more on how did the producers direct such erratic BS

I think this is a horror movie. I honestly can't tell, it tries so hard but honestly just put me to sleep. Nothing happens at all in the story. Try your best to stay away from this one.
