Actually thought the film was okay, certainly had fun watching it back then and it had some decent effects.

We failed as a species on January 25th 2013
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
I don't see any failure with anything having to do with Gemma Arterton in black leather, personally.
The book wasn't terrible and they changed the ending in the movie. I would mark it down as a bad adaption of a book,
I believe the human race failed when another mostly innofensive Jeremy Renner movie was released, I'm gonna say it was the Bourne thingy he did. Yes, that's when we failed, probably.
Fantastic?
Like, I know every piece of shit movie has fans, the people defending Hansel and Gretel here are proof of that. But, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, fantastic!? Come on.
It's a good movie.
Tommy Wirkola watched some Rami stuff and said "Hey, I can do that"
It's fun.

I'm not even trying to be ironic, the movie was whole loads of fun, I even saw it in theaters.
Hansel and Gretel was bad but I remember Famke Jensen being kind of cool.
It's dumb fun, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter took the B movie trope to another level though, I can't even care about it being a book.
It's definitely a failure of some kind when the best Bourne movie doesn't have Jason Bourne in it.
Y'all got me wanting to watch this now. Thanks OP.
Weird movie to signal out like that. I mean it's not great, but it's a functional movie, I know that's a low bar, but it's a bar that a ton of movie fail to clear, so I'm not sure what made the OP lose their shit over that forgettable film.
Shit like this on the other hand -
Even drunk Michael Madsen (and he's visibly drunk in that film) can't save that one.

And Onatopp is the head witch

Agreed.
We started out all kind and mature and suddenly shit is seeping through.
We were victims of our own success. The rise and fall of Resetera.
I remember scoffing at its title, and then I actually watched it. It's like Evil Dead/Army of Darkness. actually good practical effects and choreography, and it's knowingly goofy. What's not to like?
The movie was fun. There's a long list of movies you have to get through before pinning the greatest artistic failure of our species on this film. Wolverine Origins, BvS, Green Lantern, half the Saw franchise, most Terry Perry films, that one movie Emma Stone pretended to be Asian, are all categorically worse than Hansel and Gretel.

I actually liked this movie! It knows what it is, doesn't take itself too seriously and it's pretty well made.
god green lantern was fucking terrible and i wish i could get the time i spent watching it back
The movie wasn't lazy in it's production or execution. Which is a greater praise that I can say for most in this vein. Even movies with 10 fold the budget.
Misplaced indignation.

I was thoroughly entertained by that movie. Heck, if they had cut the serious parts besides the Gettysburg address and gone full camp, it could have been a cult classic.
