This movie should have had a wider release. It is an epic fantasy that left me delighted throughout. The fact that so many friends came together to help Terry Gilliam finish production after the death of principle actor Heath Ledger peaked... Full review

This movie was not worth the price of a rental. It has the feel of a film pasted together from left over footage. Story line is all over the place and we cold never figure out if Heathe Ledger was suppose... Full review

This is an engaging story about how imagination is what makes life worthwhile. The acting is all first rate and the visuals are stunning. The gritty reality and the glossy Imaginarium scenes perfectly compliment each other. Considering that none of Heath... Full review

Saw this movie in Australia in October and could not believe that this would be released to America. The characters are all schizoid, and you walk out of the movie not caring for a single one, not even Heath Ledger.... Full review

the director of some of the team's best movies.....And the film, for all its delights, is also suffused unmistakably with a mourning that gives it all a beautiful poignancy.....Gilliam is one of the great imaginers of current movies.....He then went on to become one of the great wild men of movies..... ...
