    One of the coolest and most imaginary and most original action-adventures in years. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger are fantastic. They are such an exceptional and enjoyable buddy team with amasing chemistry. Peter Stomare is marvelous. An enchantingly fun good time. Frequently funny and endlessly thrilling. You'll be thrilled and amused by every inch of this terrific movie. A magnificent mixture of fantacy, action, horror and buddy comedy. Great action, great laughs, great chracters, great speacial effects and great storytelling. It's pure magic. A wild ride of extroadinary genious from Director, Terry Gilliam. There is no way why you shouldnt enjoy this movie.

    Utterly desappointing. Another proof of Terry Gillian's decay. It's never a good sign when a film has in one of its actresses' (Bellucci) beauty its strongest quality.

    Lots of people hated this. I didn't think it was that bad. But, yeah, it wasn't very good either.

    Matt Damon and Heath Ledger inject necessary humour into this Grimm tale. Grimm fairy tales were never light and happiness, and this is dark, idiosyncratic material that suits Terry Gilliam's style. The frenetic mise en scene seems at times to threaten to obscure the narrative, and some of the humour is a little derivative ("The Frighteners" covered very simillar thematic material) Still, it's great stuff - and more than a little creepy at times.

    The Brothers Grimm would've been a lot better if it wasn't as cheesy as it was. I really liked the fight scenes but the thought of a little girl turning into a gingerbread man is just stupid.

    I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Other then it being slightly morbid (which was their way) it was so fun to see all the different fairytales combined! I love the shot in the woods with Little Red, and the way her bright hood stood out among the golden leaves! So awesome. Plus, Heath and Matt aren't too horrible to look at throughout the whole film. But it annoyed me how it was never made clear who got with Angelica...??

    (Aug. 2005) Great Director Terry Gilliam (Monty Python fame!) Some of my favorite all time fairy tale stories.......Heath Ledger & Matt Damon are great as the creative brothers...who bullshit their way through endless "village fears" & encounter horrors of legend! FUNNY, TOUCHING!

    The film werent bad, but was it just me!
    But most of the time i swear Kiera Knightly was in it but then realised it was Lena Headey! she looked alot and sounded alot like her in parts of the film (sorry for bad spelling).

    Was nothing like i expected, The sham demon hunters are tested when they encounter vivid pieces of well known fairy tales. It is truly like being in some kind of dream, with nothing making much sense, but with it all coming together in the end.
