Watered-Down Gilliam Is Better Than No Gilliam
Rather than fight yet another war with Hollywood (see: “Brazil”, “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen”, and “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote”), Terry Gilliam took off his gloves and allowed the Weinsteins and Miramax to force their will upon him. With his new film “Tideland” coming out soon, Gilliam chose to focus his efforts on molding it, while allowing “The Brothers Grimm” to go wherever the studio wanted to take it. The result is by far the most commercial film to Gilliam’s name, but in this case watered-down Gilliam is better than no Gilliam, and his first film in seven years (“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” in 1998) is a fun one.

“The Brothers Grimm” certainly looks like a Terry Gilliam movie, loaded with extravagant visuals and wide angled shots, although the $80 million budget did allow for his first use of CGI (it really isn’t too bad, though), and it does not have the incredibly surreal feeling to it that most Gilliam films have. It takes a bit of time to get used to Matt Damon (as Will Grimm) and Heath Ledger, moreso Damon, as Ledger is surprisingly good as Jacob Grimm. The film was much more humorous than I had expected, and has plenty of subtle Gilliam humor. Many will find Peter Stormare’ Cavaldi character to be extremely annoying, but I thought he was hilarious, and one of the highlights of the movie. Jonathan Pryce returns to another Gilliam movie as Delatombe, and does a decent job, although his character was a little overly obnoxious at times. Lena Headey is good as Angelika, and Monica Bellucci also pulls off a good performance, although unfortunately she does not get a significant amount of screen time.

The plot of “The Brothers Grimm” wanders a lot, and I actually thought the movie was winding down at around the 90 minute mark, but this works somewhat to the film’s advantage, as it makes a fairly straightforward plot seem slightly less predictable. The film is much sillier than the promos may lead to believe, and that probably will not come us much of a surprise to big Gilliam fans. Unlike previous Gilliam movies, however, there really is no substance behind what we see on screen, so what we get is really the first ‘popcorn flick’ with Gilliam’s name on it. Like all Terry Gilliam movies, the reaction will be mixed, and there will be some people who absolutely love it, and some who name it their worst film of the year. As far as I’m concerned, “Grimm” does not hold a candle to Terry Gilliam’s previous films, but it is one of the better ‘big summer movies’, and I certainly felt my time was well spent watching it.

3 stars (out of 4)

What a pile of junk
I just saw this on the telly and it was awful! What a terrible script, and a terrible story. The movie wanders all over the place. Heath Ledger was a very gifted actor, but here he just stumbles and mumbles all over the place, then to make it worse costuming and makeup give him a beard and nerdy eyeglasses. You can almost hear Damon say “how much stuff can you put on Ledger’s face so he doesn’t upstage me, since I’m the star of this picture. Plus, make sure my contract says I get 50% more lines than he does.” Here Damon is definitely the better actor of the two, but I believe that Ledger wasn’t given much to work with.

The actor who steals the show is, of course, Peter Stormare. A brilliant character actor if there ever was one, his presence on screen becomes a visual anchor that rescues the viewer from the meandering storyline that unfolds. Jonathan Pryce is normally one of my favorite actors, but I just can’t get past his awful french accent. So good in Brazil and Munchausen, so awful in TBG. I’m still scratching my head over that one.

That gingerbread man scene was bizarre, even for Gilliam. I don’t know who makes gingerbread out of mud, maybe Sara Lee. And a horse shooting spider webs out of its mouth? I don’t recall reading that story in any of the Grimm fairy tales. Besides, what kid gets up in the middle of a freezing cold night to comfort a horse? Overall the movie just didn’t make any sense, and you could easily get a headache trying to sort out what Gilliam is trying to say. It’s quite a boring film actually, most of the time the actors are standing around discussing what to do instead of actually doing it. This is definitely a talking film, and you’ll find yourself replaying Ledger’s mumbles five times in order to figure out what he’s saying.
