The Brothers Grimm (2005) by Terry Gilliam - (5/10)

“The Brothers Grimm” was disliked by most, it is far from a masterpiece or anything great but it is better than most give it credit. The major complaint was that the story was sacrificed for the visual, I did find the story, good enough and rather engaging in a more or less standard fairytale sort of way. The visuals were nice but not too much as some claimed. In some ways it did seem to carry a Tim Burton influence. The now posthumously famous Heath Ledger plays in this, he is good. It is a fun little movie with an almost holyday spirit to it and it is far from the train wreck that most people seem to believe that it is.
