Parental Guidance: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Wow. Hansel and Gretel is "R", huh? I could have swore it's only appeal was with teenage boys.

You know, why do they even make these things to warn parents. Its the parents who should know better before taking their kids to see a movie like this.

Zach Idiculla

It's not obvious, you know.

Jan 23 - 07:22 PM

Matthew Reimer

I know that.

Parents don't really seem to care. I saw a father walking his son out of a showing for Django Unchained. It is depressing how terrible some parents are.

Jan 23 - 08:17 PM

Matthew Reimer

I guess parents now a day don't care about the rating of a movie. At least they should first look it up online before you decide to bring your kid. I remember when there we're a bunch a kids and at least one parent going in to see Ted last summer. And the kids looked under 10, big mistake. Don't let the title and character of the movie fool ya!

Hielco Prosee

If I had a kid, I probably would have taken him to Django as well - as long as he thinks it's fun...

whats terrible about that .. you just saw a father and his son walking out of a great oscar nominated film .... there is nothing terrible about parents letting kids watch adult movies ... i watched terminator, fright night, predator and many more when i was 5-7 years old, and i turned out a fine respectable man ... parents just need to trust that their kids understand the fantasy of movies and know its not real, its all acting ... its just movies, its just viewing entertainment, nothing immoral about it ... now a terrible parent is one who completely neglects their kids and doesnt notice or pay any mind to their childs descent into drugs, alcohol, gang violence, underage sex, etc ... i never had those problems no matter what movies i watched because i had great parents who taught me well and always cared about me and payed attention to me.

couldn�t say it better...it�s not guns, movies or games that make people violent, it�s the way people are or not!

Jan 24 - 07:25 AM

Matthew Reimer

I agree, as long as you can handle it its fine. When I was a kid, I saw many R rated movies such as Planes, Trains, Automobiles and Blazing Saddles for example. I had no problem with the language, drugs, sex or violence in those movies.

Gage Kent

^ forgot to mention: the son looked 8 or 9.

Saw 2 families leave during Zero Dark Thirty, and this is after it had been out for weeks. The kids were around the same age, 8-9 years old.

ZDT is a different ballpark than DU.

Big Brother

Just got to know your kids. Not all kids are the same. I was watching American Werewolf and Missing in Action when I was 8 or younger, but you take certain 15 year olds to a horror movie and they leave traumatized.

Jan 24 - 04:29 PM

Tom Carter

I know, right? Yet so many parents these days aren't willing to check and see that, oh wait, this movie might not be good for the kids to see! Not to mention any names: TED! I still can't believe the number of parents that went with their kids to see that!

Jon Molzan

Over/under 30% on Hansel and Gretel? I'm going under.

Jan 23 - 06:56 PM

Gage Kent

I'll say 15%.

Jan 23 - 08:12 PM

Timothy Junkins

Probably under. If they're waiting this long to screen it, that means their hoping it will be carried on star power/premise alone. Kind of like Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter. That scored low, although I did see it on DVD and thought it was at least watchable.

Jan 24 - 06:39 AM

Big Brother

I'm gonna say over, I think Renner and Arterton can make it at least mildly enjoyable.

Jan 24 - 04:31 PM

bob jones

i hope it doesn't take itself seriously like Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter did.

Jan 23 - 07:09 PM

Timothy Junkins

Yeah that was the main issue for that movie. Although a vampire throwing a horse=Hysterical. Also, for some reason when the vampire screamed "MR. PRESIDENT!" in the last fight my friends and I could not stop laughing.

Zach Idiculla

I appreciate what you're doing RT, but I still find that http://www.commonsensemedia.org/ offers a FAR better and comprehensive service when it comes to parental guidance, dissecting topics and even offering discussion questions -- as opposed to simply a couple sentences about the film's plot and rating, which can be easily found on the movie's profile page.

Not that this is a bad thing, but ... just putting this out there.

Jan 23 - 07:26 PM

Nick Wright

This has epic bomb written all over it

Jan 23 - 08:31 PM

Simon Marshall

I saw the preview the other day, didn't look too bad. I enjoyed Tommy Wirkola's Dead Snow, it had a good 'vibe' to it. Hopefully it comes across in this too.

Jan 24 - 01:08 AM

Ricky Hood

Saw it tonight....I wish I could assuage your fears, but it is exactly what it looks like: a bloody, gory mess with some semblance of story now and again, but mostly poor dialogue and senseless brutality, although the witch kills are pretty epic. I would guess after seeing it, 22% when all is said and done...not a good movie, just a fun one

Jan 24 - 06:32 AM

Dan Theman

That's weird. It's 14A up here in Canada, (which is the equivalent of PG-13 in the States). Heck even ads I've seen for the movie say "PG-13".

Jan 24 - 07:46 AM

Matthew Reimer

Actually, Paramount has both a PG-13 and R rated cuts of the movie, but they decided to release the R one instead.

Jan 24 - 02:28 PM

Benjamin Guise

I'm amazed that they'd do this. Usually it is the other way around - R rated movies are whittled down to PG-13 in order to attract a larger audience. I wonder what the rationale is behind this decision; I'm sure there is a reason.

one thing, gemma arterton is dripping hot!!! whatever the movie

January Trash is what this is.

Gemma A on the other hand...

Who cares? No point in sheltering kids. It's not like cursing and violence and sex dosen't exist riiiight? Pff

Jan 24 - 03:30 PM

Nudity? No longer interested. Way to ruin a perfectly good concept

Jan 24 - 05:28 PM

Janson Jinnistan

? That was the only thing going for it...

scifi mark

But the gory violence is ok for you. I love this type of thinking

Jan 27 - 12:54 PM

Gavin Cresswell

I sawed the opening weekend of this film yesterday with my brother and we enjoyed it. Nothing excellent or anything, but the chemistry between Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton completely nailed it! Even the action moments they had together!
