I haven't seen very many of Gilliam's movies, but he is definitely eccentric. He brings a strange sense of humor out of his performers and relishes the darkness of the Grimm tales. This is not supposed to be a history lesson, but the one thing I learned was the time period when... ...( read more )

Terry Gilliam once again puts his post modern spin on Gothic fantasy, and once again it's very much a matter of taste as to whether you are going to enjoy it.

As a Gilliam fan I was pretty disappointed. Has it's moments but lacks so much that doesn't deserve my recommendation. Looks beautiful though.

I thought this film was going to be funny. It doesn't have those moments where you chuckle. I did like one scene and it was when Matt Damon mistakes a girl for a boy. The rest is all caught up in it's mystical world of witches, wolves and toads. Not Gilliam's best.

September 9, 2007I 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...??

May 19, 2007(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!

February 10, 2007The 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). -
August 18, 2006Was 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.
