The Brothers Grimm
At first our fears had resided when the teaser trailer looked up to par
and a couple positive reviews popped up online. Things were looking good
for The Brothers Grimm, until this baby popped up...
Early The Brothers Grimm Review
The good people over at AICN
have recently received a report on The Brothers Grimm from your
average moviegoer who was 'lucky' enough to catch the film early. What did
he have to say about the film? Well, just check out the snippet below:
Possibly the greatest disappointment I’ve suffered this summer, or hell even this year, was sitting through a Terry Gilliam movie that didn’t tickle my geek sensibilities one bit. I love Gilliam. Love him. He is a certifiable madman, cursed, touched, nay – blessed – with a set of eyes that cause him to view our world in a way that no one else does. His stories are always beautifully strange, drenched in irony, parody and just enough truth for us to buy into his fantastic worlds. Gilliam’s worst films are repeatedly watchable and his best are legendary films that sit atop pedestals in the geek pantheon.
But the movie is never really terribly bad. Each annoying or misspent moment is equaled with something moderately amusing or slightly cool. It is, after all, a Gilliam film and he is good enough, even with this, arguably his worst film, to add his touches that make it pleasurable, if only for a brief moment here and there.
Though this review of The Brothers Grimm begins by slamming the
film, there are a few quotes that spell a ray of hope. Considering that
this person claims that this film is re-watchable has got to mean something.
To check out the whole review for The Brothers Grimm, head over
to AICN.
The Brothers Grimm comes to theatres on August 26th.
