Brothers Grimm

Possibly the worst movie ever..
..and what a huge dissapointment! I was actually kind of looking forward to this movie... considering that sort is my favorite genre, and I am a Grimm fan & a Gilliam fan (go Time Bandits!)... for the first half hour of the film I was trying to figure out if I was feeling the effects of the wine I just had or if the movie really wasnt making any sense.... but I soon realized it wasnt me, when people in the audience started getting up and leaving... it was that bad. The story line was vague if not non-existant.. randomly throwing in notable childhood folklore characters into the mix without rhyme or reason... the special effects were even worse... better effects should be expected from a made for television series! I think the only thing the film had going for it was sets that were nice to look at and good costume design.... not even the soundtrack was worthwhile! :-( The idea itself is a good concept... it was just all horribly pulled together. I think that one was just as aweful to me as Tomb Raider 2.
Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 38%

Disappointing!
That's the word I'd use to describe this latest offering from Terry Gilliam. I have enjoyed some of his more extravagent attempts to entertain (Time Bandits, Brazil and multi-Monty Python to name a few) over the years, but this one somehow lost the plot entirely. Nice sets, good costume, so so acting and a story that plain SUCKED!! There were so many confusing elements of fairy tales that pulled a little here and a little there not to mention the fact that creative license to use the 'Jake and the magic beans' reference pulling from the story of Jack and The Beanstalk is not even a Brothers Grimm story! Overall very disappointing!!
