So I finnaly saw the Brothers Grimm...

...after saying I was going to see it the day it came out. Damn work, school, and family matters! Anyway, I had really high high hopes for this movie, but after seeing the reviews for it, they dropped really fast. So I went in kind of neutral. I came out pretty happy with it in the end. I can see how some would say it lacked plot, but I didn't really see it. The movie all seemed strung-together enough for me to understand it. I thought the rolls of the Brothers Grimm were played very well, the special effects for the most part were good, although sometimes a bit odd. The movie really was filled with alot of things you wouldn't see in any other movie, which is why I must say "<3 Gilliam". I'm just wondering now, if he plans to attempt and re-make his Don Quixote film. That would rock.

I loved it, completely. They did the fairy tales really really well. If you knew the stories you had a better understanding of the movie. The only one I couldn't place was the horse and spider bit, everything else fit.

SAJN, why change your name to Victor Van Dort? It's confusing.

I thought it was absolute crap. I hated it. It was a beautiful fim cinematographically wise, but I found the acting very flat and kind of fruity. Heath ledger did not play his part that well at all, he came across as a confused homosexual by the way he flaunted all the time and his body language. The plot of the story was good, but it wasn't told well IMO.

EDIT: Although it has very little to no effect on the film, the special effects weren't what I expected either. By the advertisements I expected it to be just stock full of amazing special effects.. Instead we get a few shots of a couple moving trees and a very badly rendered shot of red riding hood's blanket floating away in a river and the air
