Brothers Grimm

Pros: Ledger and Damon, the story, everydamnthing

Cons: bah!

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. ...

Pros: The special effects were done well and the ending was appropriate.

Cons: I wouldn't take the wee ones to see it.

Review: ** No Spoilers ** I believe this will be a real sleeper hit as there were only 8 people in the theater for the 2150 showing on Saturday night, however I'll be one to tell all my friends to see it. Of all the movies I've seen this summer including ...

Pros: Unique movie with good cast.

Cons: Movie will be too different and strange for many people.

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 ...

Pros: Fun and action packed. Heath Ledger.

Cons: No social value. Junk food celluloid.

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 ...

Pros: Intelligent look at the classic fairy tale brothers without simply retelling one single story.

Cons: Plot can get a little thick at moments, and can be hard to follow.

The Bottom Line: A good movie to feed the imagination. I'd reccomend seeing it. You might be surprised.

Review: I admit, I was very skeptical when my friend approached me about seeing this particular movie. I had heard so many mixed reviews about the movie that I had initially resided to waiting for it to come to video before seeing it. Now that I have seen it, ...

Pros: Good effects, great cast, nice story. Classic fairy tale bits.

Cons: Predictable, a bit drawn out.

The Bottom Line: If you love classic fairy tales and aren't faint of heart, this is the film for you.

Review: You have to be a certain type of person, and like a certain type of movie, to enjoy The Brothers Grimm. I am that certain type of person. I love being swept into fantasy worlds. I love fairy tales. And I love Heath Ledger, Matt Damon, and Terry ...

Pros: Funny action tale with brilliant visuals

Cons: A bit slow and it does not quite click

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 his ...

Pros: Excellent Direction, Decent Acting

Cons: Pacing, Story, Little Character Development

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 this ...

Pros: storyline, acting was fine, Fairy tale slip-ins

Cons: editing, length, pace

The Bottom Line: This is a decent movie, but not one of the better movies I've seen. Keep your expectations a little low and you might be happy.

Review: Jacob and Will Grimm are brothers who are the "ghostbusters" of their time. They will rid your town of a witch or ghost, for a fee, of course. As they make their living doing this, Jake (Heath Ledger) and Will (Matt Damon) they spend a night in a tavern ...

Pros: visual atmosphere. All Gilliam has great moments!

Cons: traditional ending. Screenwriting.

The Bottom Line: Great Fantasy film, marred by traditional ending.

Review: Having just seen the film, I wanted to review it as quickly as possible because the work of a visionary like Terry Gilliam is always a special moment. Plus, I have horrendous Short and Long-Term Memory, compounded by a case of Shingles. What I ...
