Brothers Grimm ~ Yet Again, The Mad Doc Bucks the Trend

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is the fairest of them all.
Review: The Brothers Grimm are best known for having traveled around gathering fairy tales and having then compiled them into a book for all to adore. These are usually dark tales which are sure to cause nightmares. I, of course, adore them for it.

The Brothers Grimm - Matt Damon and Heath Ledger Battle Witches and Enchantments

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Brothers Grimm was an entertaining, unique movie that I enjoyed. This isn't a movie for everyone, especially children.
Review: I usually see previews for movies that look interesting to me months before a movie opens. Some movies don't receive as much publicity so I don't know as much about them when the movie does open. I didn't see many previews for The Brothers Grimm or...

The Brothers Grimm: An Unenchanting Story

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the few movies that might be improved if edited for t.v. - at least then someone will make choices about what to cut.
Review: To begin with, this is not a movie for children. While the Brothers Grimm wrote stories that have terrified and delighted generations of children, this movie is not meant for them. The real brothers Grimm wrote down folktales that were simple and...

Matt Damon and Heath Ledger ARE The Brothers Grimm

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Brothers Grimm turned out to be a below average film that at best should be saved for a rental.
Review: I should start off this review by saying that The Brothers Grimm is not a movie that you should take children to. While it does have a fairy-tale theme to it, it takes a lot of liberties with the way things are told, and violence is the running...

The Brothers Grimm: Gilliam Lite

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: A flawed Terry Gilliam epic that, despite great visuals and good performances by Matt Damon and Heath Ledger, does not connect with its audience.
Review: There are a few things we know about director Terry Gilliam: he has a very dark twisted sense of humor; he likes historical accuracy, at least in sets and settings; his movies are always visually stunning; oh... and he almost always declares war on...

This Isn't The Way To Grandmother's House: The Brothers Grimm

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a fun movie, don't expect more than that, and you won't be disappointed.
Review: The Brothers Grimm (2005) Directed by Terry Gilliam.

Bunst: I... I do believe I've soiled myself.
Hidlick: Oh, good... I thought it was me.

The year is 1811, and the Brothers Grimm make a fine living slaying witches and trolls...

The Brothers Grimm are not Monty Python

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: This movie was a mistake and a major box office bomb.
Review: The Brothers Grimm is a total misfire from famed director Terry Gilliam. It stars Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as the Grimm brothers who con people into thinking that ghosts and witches are in town, then they convince the townsfolk to pay them to get...

Grimm Stupor

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2005
The Bottom Line: While visually entertaining, it would have been a much better film had Tim Burton directed it.
Review: Let's set the stage for my movie-going experience. It's a hot and wet August night. What better way to escape the heat, than to sit in an air conditioned room with a film to entertain the senses? I got to the box office and realized that the film I...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: This one should do better on DVD and cable because it has lots of dazzling effects to enjoy - but it's otherwise a snore. Gilliam's subversive style has been Stepfordized.
Review: "I'm sorry, kiddo.
I really am.
You have a good soul
and I hate giving good people bad news."
--The Oracle: The Matrix

The Brothers Grimm is an experiment that doesn't quite work, despite the best efforts of a lot of...

Terry Gilliam's Depressing Fairy Tale

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: When two scam artists encounter real magic, it's a race of reason vs. witchcraft in Terry Gilliam's surprisingly average film.
Review: When a writer/director creates the greatest film ever made, that person gets a lot of credit with me and I've pretty much bought a lifetime subscription to seeing that person's movies. That man is Terry Gilliam, writer and director of "Brazil," to...
