GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

adonis98-743-186503 Will and Jake Grimm are traveling con-artists who encounter a genuine fairy-tale curse which requires true courage instead of their usual bogus exorcisms. The Brothers Grimm is a mess of lots of different films in one, it goes from being a Tim Burton rip-off to a terrible comedy to an even more weird mix of dark and gothic thriller meets Red Riding Hood and other famous fairy-tales. The acting is bland especially from the two main leads although Lena Headey does a pretty good job. Plus the movie is super slow and boring from start to finish and it's terrible script doesn't help either. Overall a big disappointment (2/10)

Python Hyena The Brothers Grimm (2005): Dir: Terry Gilliam / Cast: Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Lena Headey, Peter Storemare, Jonathan Pryce: Filled with imaginative images of werewolves, witches, mysterious trees, an enchanted ax, and a woman that turns to glass. It regards the dangers of fairy tales as Will and Jacob Grimm are forced to rescue several kidnapped virgin children who have disappeared into the enchanted forest. Screenplay is filled with brilliant imagery as expected from the imagination of director Terry Gilliam whose impressive visual resume includes Brazil and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger are well cast as the heroes who earn a living by deceiving towns with false exorcisms. Ledger is the one who believes in fairy tales while Damon has grown beyond his youth years. Peter Stormare is hilarious as their arresting officer who fumbles at his job and is constantly insulted by higher powers who see him as an imbecile but he will conclude with greater perception. Lena Headey plays a gutsy archer with an intriguing back story regarding her father. Jonathan Pryce is amusing as a cruel French military commander who grows weary of Storemare's constant fumbling. Easily one of Gilliam's best films as he references fairy tales with parodies of The Gingerbread Man, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood and other grim stories. Score: 10 / 10

RbDeraj This was without a doubt an interesting spin on the story of The Grimm brothers with the added quirks and usual strangeness produced by Terry Gilliam. The movie is basically a fictional fantasy about Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm who were two real life brothers that brought nearly every fairytale that we know out of the folklore of nations and into popular knowledge during the 1800's. The film had a lot of big names like Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Peter Stormare, Jonathan Pryce (a Gilliam favorite from Brazil), Monica Bellucci, and Lena Headey. With that being said though, this was not a big movie. While the characters and bizarreness kept it somewhat entertaining, the film overall was a mess. With some unexplainable happenings and undecipherable dialogue a lot of the movie seemed to be in a state of confusion and mass chaos. Let's not even mention the graphics and effects. This movie is currently ten years old (which is hard to believe) and obviously cgi and other technologies have been drastically improved, but I think these are awful for the time period (even without considering aging). The quality was not even close to other Terry Gilliam films I have seen and it was quite disappointing.

gavin6942 Will and Jake Grimm are traveling con-artists who encounter a genuine fairy-tale curse which requires true courage instead of their usual bogus exorcisms.The best casting? Peter Stormare as Mercurio Cavaldi, Delatombe's Italian associate who originally has a grudge against the brothers, but eventually has a change of heart. Robin Williams was cast in the role before dropping out. Now, Williams has a history with Terry Gilliam and they work well together, but Peter Stormare is hard to beat. He excels at this part, just like he does with all parts.Roger Ebert called the film "an invention without pattern, chasing itself around the screen without finding a plot. The movie seems like a style in search of a purpose, with a story we might not care about." This is an interesting phrasing, and probably not far off the mark. Indeed, the visual aspect of the film is very appealing, but we are given very few reasons to care about the characters and their exploits.
