Pełna przygód i akcji opowieść o Jakubie i Wilhelmie Grimm, którzy podróżują od wioski do wioski, przekonując ich mieszkańców, że muszą poddać się egzorcyzmom, gdyż w ich domach żyje mnóstwo potworów rodem nie z tego świata. Problem pojawia się w momencie, gdy bohaterowie odkrywają, że w jednej z wiosek mieszkają prawdziwe zjawy... Wielki Terry Gilliam powraca z filmem, w którym straszą duchy, zdarzenie goni zdarzenie, iskrzy się magia i humor rodem z filmów Monty Pythona. W roli poskramiaczy demonów występują Matt Damon i Heath Ledger. Monica Bellucci wciela się natomiast w postać zjawy nie z tej ziemi. Nieustraszeni bracia Grimm to jedna z największych produkcji wytwórni Miramax w ostatnich latach. Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje scenografia, stworzona z ogromnym przepychem oraz efekty specjalne na miarę XXI-go wieku.
Fairy tales come vividly to life in
The Brothers Grimm, a long-delayed fantasy/horror comedy that greatly benefits from the ingenuity of director Terry Gilliam. In lesser hands, the ambitious screenplay by prolific horror specialist Ehren Kruger (who wrote the American versions of and ) might have turned into an erratic monster mash like . But Gilliam's maverick sensibility makes the film more closely comparable to Tim Burton's and Neil Jordan's , with the added benefit of impressive CGI effects and lavish (though cost-efficient) production design, making the most of a challenging $75 million budget.
Kruger's clever conceit is to turn "folklore collectors" Wilhem and Jacob (Matt Damon and Heath Ledger, respectively) into 19th-century con artists who perform bogus exorcisms of "evil enchantments" while travelling from village to village in French-occupied Germany. The two soon find themselves ensnared in a genuinely supernatural crisis involving the curse of the Mirror Queen (Monica Bellucci) and such fantastical marvels as the Big Bad Wolf, the Gingerbread Man, and a host of other truly enchanted (and not altogether friendly) flora and fauna.
It's kind of a mess, switching from over-the-top humour (mostly from Peter Stormare as a manic villain) to serious fantasy involving the beautiful Angelika (Lena Headey), who proves to be the Grimm Brothers' most reliable ally. And like many of Gilliam's films, Grimm suffered from production delays (during which Gilliam filmed ), distributor fallout, and several changes in its theatrical release date, but none of these issues prevent the film from being a welcomed addition to Gilliam's remarkable list of credits.--Jeff Shannon
