At first I thought it would be a stupid movie, but I was wrong. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger star as Jake and Will Grimm, two brothers who travel from town to town to get rid of spiritual creatures. This movie... Full review

Thank you, Terry, for taking a giant crap on the stories of my youth. Thank you for killing off any semblance of respect that I had for Heath Ledger or Matt Damon (whose accent is only rivaled in fakeness by his... Full review

This movie couldn't decide what it wanted to be, a comedy or an action thriller so it failed at both. there are pretty good moments here and there and the story had potential, but they just couldn't put it together to... Full review

I went to this movie because I have always enjoyed to orginal Brothers Grimm tales. I hoped that this story would keep with their gruesome tradition and was fairly appeased. This movie has an okay plot but the acting and lines... Full review

Fairy tales--can't get enough of them! Matt Damon and Heath Ledger are the excellent choices for the Brothers Grimm, I also believe Monica Bellucci IS the fairest of them all! Ho-ho, and yeah, its a bit too frightening for children, and... Full review
Does not do justice to its subject matter

People have a curious tendency not to notice how bizarre and gruesome children's fairy tales often are. Terry Gilliam's "The Brothers Grimm" does notice. Unfortunately, that's just about its only insight into the subject. The film shows no understanding of... Full review
Needlessly Violent

This film was needlessly violent. While I enjoyed the whimsy of the plot, I did not need to see a kitten splattered everywhere. Perhaps it is a little bit too true to the Grimms' stories for my modern sensibilities. The acting... Full review

Will (Matt Damon) and his brother Jacob (Heath Ledger) are the famous Brothers Grimm, who make a living ridding the countryside of monsters and demons. Ultimately, the film gets bogged down in its own adventurous aspirations, although it looks a treat with splendid production design and fantastic effects. ... Full Review

I absolutely loved Ledger in The Brothers Grimm (the first of Gilliam's films to somewhat disappoint me), and I can't wait to see him and his computerized clones in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus . Anyway, about the finishing with CGI Ledger, that is excellent news, and something I've been expecting to happen all along (if it was good enough for The Crow 14 years ago, it's good enough now). ...
