    This was a REALLY creepy movie, but it was really different and I absolutely loved the plot and it was even more fun (and a bit scarier than it's meant to be, i think) cuz I saw it on tv in a hotel room at midnight. It's about two brothers, jake and will grimm (the famous writers of legends and folklore). It manages to combine many fairy tales (which are supposed to be all mushy mushy with happy endings) into complete horror stories... I could watch this a million times and never get bored!

    Man. I really liked it. I know I heard lots of bad reviews but it might have been from non-gilliamites. But I really enjoyed myself. The set designs and costumes were terrific and the cinematography great. I found myself laughing more then I would expect! Just pure fun.

    I really liked this one. The Grimm's fairy tales are so interesting and this brought them to life in a very good way I think. It could have been better but I love it the way it is.

    Poor Terry Gilliam doesnt have the best of luck. Either natural disasters and the health of his actors keep him from finishing a film, or the lead dies near the beginning of shooting... and then when he does get a movie made, its as horrible as this, with awful dialogue and very little plot. Oh Terry, at least well always have 12 Monkeys!

    This movie was pretty good. It's a fantasy that combines many of the famous Grimm fairy tales into a nice story plot, involving the Grimm brothers themselves. Then ending however, was nothing to brag about..but it was and good movie all the same and I'd recommend it for sure.

    I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Other then it being slightly morbid (which was their way) it was so fun to see all the different fairytales combined! I love the shot in the woods with Little Red, and the way her bright hood stood out among the golden leaves! So awesome. Plus, Heath and Matt aren't too horrible to look at throughout the whole film. But it annoyed me how it was never made clear who got with Angelica...??

    (Aug. 2005) Great Director Terry Gilliam (Monty Python fame!) Some of my favorite all time fairy tale stories.......Heath Ledger & Matt Damon are great as the creative brothers...who bullshit their way through endless "village fears" & encounter horrors of legend! FUNNY, TOUCHING!

    The film werent bad, but was it just me!
    But most of the time i swear Kiera Knightly was in it but then realised it was Lena Headey! she looked alot and sounded alot like her in parts of the film (sorry for bad spelling).

    Was nothing like i expected, The sham demon hunters are tested when they encounter vivid pieces of well known fairy tales. It is truly like being in some kind of dream, with nothing making much sense, but with it all coming together in the end.
