Bad. Really Bad.
Added 6/19/2009
There are few movies that I am not able to see through, no matter how bad. This was one of those. I tried twice. I don't think I got more than a half hour into the movie. For a movie that was such intense action, it was so BORING!
Really, there was nothing good about this movie. Not even the star studded cast was able to salvage it.
And in case you say to yourself, well, she didn't see the whole movie, so she can't give a fair critique--a friend told me the plot to the end. It doesn't get better.

I really am not sure what to think of this movie
Added 3/29/2009
So I just watched The Brothers Grimm, and I'm really not sure. There were some parts that were truly wonderful - the cinematography and the costumes were really a visual feast. And the writing was good. The thing is, it seemed to me like someone trying to deliver a good joke that just really falls flat. This movie SHOULD have been awesome. But the biggest thing to me was that it really didn't know what it was. Was it funny? If so, why all the truly scary horror-film moments? Was it supposed to be a horror film? If so, why all the light-hearted moments? My theory was that the Monty Python director wanted it to be funny, and maybe the studios thought that wouldn't sell as much? So it wound up in the middle. It seemed to have multiple personality disorder, and two hours is just too little time in which to try to figure out a movie that can't seem to make up its own mind what it wants to be. Still, like I said, there were many redeeming moments, and if you can deal with not knowing whether a character is supposed to be being funny, and being alternately grossed out and horrified, then go for it.

Waste of time and money, mislead by Ad trailers and promos
Added 3/8/2009
The movie begins as did most of its promotional advertising showing the Grimm Brothers being heroes. Alas, they're frauds, charlatans who bilk money out of local people while the Grimms pretend to vanquish witches and anything the villages live in fear of. As just desserts the brothers are nabbed by a French General (Jonathan Pryce), but instead of punishing them, he uses them for his own designs. At this point my interest in the film waned considerably as Damon & Ledger appear to be nothing more than frightened mice (even appearing dressed as scullery maids while they are forced to scrub floors by the french soldiers). The ending does have a pay-off as Ledger eventually musters up the courage to save the day, but it took so long to get there, it was a waste time and my money and these days that's saying a lot!
