Tonight’s “destination unknown” date-night included the 7:30 showing of “Brothers Grimm” – PG-13.
Initial reaction was that I’d already seen this movie.
Evil bugs – stolen from “Lord of the Rings”.
Evil witch trying to “live again” – stolen from “The Mummy”.
Backdrop cities – stolen from many other movies.
Wolf-man – stolen from numerous b-rated flicks.
Storyline – stolen from many (if not all) childhood fairytales – this one was to be expected.
The plot lacked very much – kind of made me think that the director had a favor to ask Heath Ledger and Matt Damon and that favor was to act in his upcoming b-rated film.
Definitely NOT a child-movie, though that is what you’d expect in a movie about famous Fairytale-tellers. Heads cut off, swords through bad-guys (and good guys!) and evil witches with mucho cleavage.
Word to the wise – go watch paint dry instead of this film.
