Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Will and Jake Grimm are traveling con-artists who encounter a genuine fairy-tale curse which requires true courage instead of their usual bogus exorcisms. The Brothers Grimm is a mess of lots of different films in one, it goes from being a Tim Burton rip-off to a terrible comedy to an even more weird mix of dark and gothic thriller meets Red Riding Hood and other famous fairy-tales. The acting is bland especially from the two main leads although Lena Headey does a pretty good job. Plus the movie is super slow and boring from start to finish and it's terrible script doesn't help either. Overall a big disappointment (2/10)

Should I start with the good or the bad... Bad. The only things I didn't like were (and this might have just been my brand new disc) some of the scene cuts. I'm not picky when it comes to scene cuts but some of the transitions were choppy and even within a scene some things were sloppily mushed together making it look like there was a scratch in the disc when as I had said before it was brand new. Things I loved were the actor choice, and their performance of course the whole mix of cast and crew and plot was just the making of a good movie, one that I for sure would love. I mean for heaven's sake my mom saw Brothers Grimm and Heath Ledger on the same case and bought it right away. Definitely a movie worth watching and mystery too! Maybe not one for the kiddos unless they're OK with some mid evil subjects.

Everything was good until they started to play Vivaldi, and then a little cat appeared, I thought, ohh no, this can't be happening, and it did. They slaughtered the kitten, it is obvious that the kitten was not harmed in real life, it was all made by digital effects, then who cares? It was just made to be funny, but what sickens me is the whole idea of making fun of such vile act, killing for fun an animal is NEVER a fun topic, it should not be, and the only thing that that scenes makes, is to encourage people to keep thinking animal abuse is something to laugh about, I really detested this movie for such stupid idea of fun, and anyone making fun of it should think of the background behind the act.

For now, i use my credits to complete filmography of my Pantheon. The first honored is Lena Headey, whom i discovered as the courageous Queen Gorgo. She has the delicious British phlegm and yet there's something mysterious, wild about her. So, she was a perfect choice to play this cursed huntress in that small village. With her, Ledger proves that he was indeed a great one too, as it's hard to recognize this brother, with the Joker or Mel's son in "the patriot". Beyond those two, my bad expectations have been confirmed: Damon still can't play a likable character and Bellucci is again playing on her looks! If the plot is original (to derive those fairy tales to from real fantasy or to fake them to make a living) and if Gilliam is gifted with a camera, the movie stills falls short: First, the French roles are totally irritating and slows the movie. They were like the parrot Iago in "Aladdin", funny for five minutes and excruciating for more. Another big problem was that the sets look totally fake: unlike "Sleepy Hollow", i didn't believe for one second in this village, its forest or its enchanted tower. It was the same feeling with some key-moments (the rock that breaks the mirror: what a shot!) and i must admit that Gilian's love for baroque is sometimes too much. Finally, once upon a time there was a great filmmaker but at the end, he didn't have so much amazing movies!
