"Great"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great movie, there are hints of the Grimm tales all through the movie, including Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs (Jack and the Bean Stalk), Rumpelstiltzkin, and Rapunzel.

Although the overall plot was a little weak, this movie is a great watch.

"Loved it"
5 stars"

If you loved Sleepy Hollow then you will love Brothers Grimm. Hampered by awful release dates poor advertising this film could have been the next Pirates of the Caribbean. The chemistry between Damon and Ledger is superb and the look of the film also is great. Two thumbs up!

Description

The Brothers Grimm

No curse we can't reverse, No spell we can't break, No demon we can't exterminate Set in early 18th century French-occupied Germany,

The Brothers Grimm stars Matt Damon as Will Grimm and Heath Ledger as Jake Grimm, siblings who travel the countryside as snake-oil salesmen, convincing unsuspecting towns that they are haunted and agreeing to get rid of the demons–for a price. In the meantime, they set their tales down in writing, creating a wealth of oddball, offbeat, and frightening characters. But after they are caught by General Delatombe (Jonathan Pryce) and his sidekick, Cavaldi (Peter Stormare), they are sent to the tiny village of Marbaden to solve the mysterious disappearance of a number of young girls, placing them in the middle of a fantasy world unlike any they'd ever invented. They enlist the help of a peasant woman, Angelika (Lena Headey), and they set off for the evil forest to save the lives of the girls… and themselves.
