Continuity mistake: They trick one witch with a record recording of a boy that is lost. H&G are thrown down by it and the witch picks up a branch and begins zooming off like it is a broom. Hansel is behind her, yet despite the witch traveling faster than he is running, somehow he suddenly gets in front of her and smacks her with his gun. (00:31:10)

8.8/10. An ingenious take off on the fairy tale. I found it pretty good with Famke Janssen doing a marvelous job as the Grand Dark Witch Muriel. The pairing of Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as Hansel and Gretel was great. They gave off good vibes, seemed at ease playing the bad ass heroes. The story's well paced, doesn't bore its audience nor is it slow. I found it engaging and witty all throughout. This is one that's underrated when it shouldn't be.

Hansel: Some people will say that not all witches are evil, that their powers could be used for good. I say burn them all!
Trivia: The director, Tommy Wirkola, has an uncredited cameo of sorts (seen on screen longer than a usual cameo) as one of Sheriff Berringer's four deputies. Stuntman Wolfgang Lindner portrayed one of the deputies, and is uncredited as well.

Chosen answer: Hansel & Gretel's ages are never mentioned in the original fairytale. But Cedric Eich who plays young Hansel is currently 13 (August 10th, 2000). The age of Alea Sophia Boudodimos who plays young Gretel is unknown, but I'd guess that she's a similar age.
