Description of The Brothers Grimm [Blu-ray]:
Fairy tales come vividly to life in The Brothers Grimm, a long-delayed fantasy/horror comedy that greatly benefits from the ingenuity of director Terry Gilliam. In lesser hands, the ambitious screenplay by prolific horror specialist Ehren Kruger (who wrote the American versions of The Ring and The Ring 2) might have turned into an erratic monster mash like Van Helsing. But Gilliam's maverick sensibility makes the film more closely comparable to Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves, with the added benefit of impressive CGI effects and lavish (though cost-efficient) production design, making the most of a challenging $75 million budget. Kruger's clever conceit is to turn "folklore collectors" Wilhem and Jacob Grimm (Matt Damon and Heath Ledger, respectively) into 19th-century con artists who perform bogus exorcisms of "evil enchantments" while traveling from village to village in French-occupied Germany. The two soon find themselves ensnared in a genuinely supernatural crisis involving the curse of the Mirror Queen (Monica Bellucci) and such fantastical marvels as the Big Bad Wolf, the Gingerbread Man, and a host of other truly enchanted (and not altogether friendly) flora and fauna. It's kind of a mess, switching from over-the-top humor (mostly from Peter Stormare as a manic villain) to serious fantasy involving the beautiful Angelika (Lena Headey), who proves to be the Grimm Brothers' most reliable ally. And like many of Gilliam's films, Grimm suffered from production delays (during which Gilliam filmed Tideland), distributor fallout, and several changes in its theatrical release date, but none of these issues prevent the film from being a welcomed addition to Gilliam's remarkable list of credits. --Jeff Shannon

The Brothers Grimm [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Brother's Grimm
2009-07-01 - Great fantasy/adventure movie. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger are great and the movie was exciting and fun.

Bad. Really Bad.
2009-06-19 - There are few movies that I am not able to see through, no matter how bad. This was one of those. I tried twice. I don't think I got more than a half hour into the movie. For a movie that was such intense action, it was so BORING!
Really, there was nothing good about this movie. Not even the star studded cast was able to salvage it.
And in case you say to yourself, well, she didn't see the whole movie, so she can't give a fair critique--a friend told me the plot to the end. It doesn't get better.

Excellent service!
2009-05-30 - Received the DVD in record time, with the merchandise in excellent condition as stated. Would use them again.

I really am not sure what to think of this movie
2009-03-29 - So I just watched The Brothers Grimm, and I'm really not sure. There were some parts that were truly wonderful - the cinematography and the costumes were really a visual feast. And the writing was good. The thing is, it seemed to me like someone trying to deliver a good joke that just really falls flat. This movie SHOULD have been awesome. But the biggest thing to me was that it really didn't know what it was. Was it funny? If so, why all the truly scary horror-film moments? Was it supposed to be a horror film? If so, why all the light-hearted moments? My theory was that the Monty Python director wanted it to be funny, and maybe the studios thought that wouldn't sell as much? So it wound up in the middle. It seemed to have multiple personality disorder, and two hours is just too little time in which to try to figure out a movie that can't seem to make up its own mind what it wants to be. Still, like I said, there were many redeeming moments, and if you can deal with not knowing whether a character is supposed to be being funny, and being alternately grossed out and horrified, then go for it.

Waste of time and money, mislead by Ad trailers and promos
2009-03-08 - The movie begins as did most of its promotional advertising showing the Grimm Brothers being heroes. Alas, they're frauds, charlatans who bilk money out of local people while the Grimms pretend to vanquish witches and anything the villages live in fear of. As just desserts the brothers are nabbed by a French General (Jonathan Pryce), but instead of punishing them, he uses them for his own designs. At this point my interest in the film waned considerably as Damon & Ledger appear to be nothing more than frightened mice (even appearing dressed as scullery maids while they are forced to scrub floors by the french soldiers). The ending does have a pay-off as Ledger eventually musters up the courage to save the day, but it took so long to get there, it was a waste time and my money and these days that's saying a lot!
