Disappointing
By Gromit (44 reviews) from Canterbury , 20 May 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
I was really looking forward to seeing this film, it had a lot of promise, unfortunately however I found the result really quite disappointing. Don't get me wrong though there are elements to this film that are good - the cast are great, Gilliam's visions are as vivid as ever and in places it is both amusing and scary. Unfortunately the film as a whole just does not work. I found it incredibly boring in places, so much so, the only way that I really made it through the film completely was by dividing it into half hour chunks were I would turn off the DVD player and go and do something else for a while. It was truly difficult...although I'm not entirely sure why as the plot is straightforward and there is plenty of CGI to keep you amused. Possibly it was overlong, possibly it was underdeveloped, I'm not sure....but what I am sure of is that I won't be watching it again to try and work it out! Not one to avoid - but don't choose it unless you've got absolutely nothing better to watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

(373)Magical and dark
By gianino (620 reviews) from London , 28 Apr 2013I'm not a big fan of Terry Gilliam; I think he is too weird and some of his movies are just too mad. However, this film is enjoyable, quite dark but very magical as well. Heath and Matt are superb and the rest of the cast is also quite impressive. Heath is sadly missed; he was an impressive actor. There was also a good small part played by Monica Bellucci and Heath and Matt are also hot- Was this review helpful to you?

Not at all Grim
By Robroy7 (8 reviews) , 22 Apr 2013If you are expecting a serious plot forget it. I enjoyed it for what it is a bit of fun, dark in places but entertaining. It took me a while to suddenly spot all the various fairy tales wrapped up into one. What is enjoyable is to look beyond the central action at the 'sillyness' going on in the background. Exactly what you would expect from the genius of Terry Gilliam.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ok but Cheesy
By a customer , 14 Apr 2013If you have nothing better to watch this is ok. Likeable characters and acting, simple story line with linking thread of those well known childhood stories. Horror comedy (lots more emphasis on the cheesy humour)- Was this review helpful to you?

This is the stuff that nightmares are made of.
By Gabriel_Raiano_1991 (10 reviews) , 11 Apr 2013Really great film. I enjoyed it a lot. I'd sum it up as a pretty corny horror with a good intertwined fairytale storyline.- Was this review helpful to you?

Anything but Grim
By TheReview (11 reviews) , 17 Mar 2013I liked the film for what it was. I did feel there was a bit too much tooing and froing, and though I probably wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again, it certainly won't leave you disappointed.- Was this review helpful to you?
