How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A high-octane, gothic reimagining of a classic tale where childhood trauma becomes fuel for visceral revenge. Stylish, action-packed, and unapologetically dark, it trades fairy-tale whimsy for blood-soaked catharsis.

I’ve watched this movie a few times now. I really want to like it more than I do. It’s got steam punk weaponry, beautiful cast, witches, magic and tons of action scenes. Why does it bore me?! Pretty sure it is the cast. Jeremy Renner sleepwalks his way through the film and he and Gemma Arteton have ZERO chemistry. Actually, NO ONE does, really. Gemma and the troll 'Edward' have more chemistry between them than anyone else in the cast!
