Personal Ratings: 2.5
Really liked the action in the movie. Really cool gadgets. A little gory.
I think what I did not like most about this movie is that fact that there is no true climax in the story. The way the story built up at the beginning was also a little slow and it kind of make it seem that they put in a lot of unnecessary parts in and left out the important parts. Honestly, the pace seem to be the same throughout the whole story, and did not stress enough on the climax or the preparations for the fight against the witches. They should have lengthen the movie a little with the important parts. I also thought that it was weird that they did not explain, even at the end, how come one of the witched could turn back to human form and back again.
The story was kind of predictable, but still fun to see the little twist they had for a child hood story, though the twist took part way after they killed the witch, so they did not really have to relate the what all of us had hear when we were a kid.
