The Brothers Grimm (2005)

Rating: ★★

Jul 3, 2007Fairy-Tale Authors' Adventures

Director: Terry Gilliam

Actors: Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Peter Stormare, Lena Headey, …

A massive letdown of the year. A sequel that brings back several of the original cast and gives it to Yuen Wo-Ping to direct but is merely slickly paced, uninspired action that substitutes CGI for the graceful wirework of the original
