terry gilliam is a great director, but sometimes his vision is far too grandiose. take the brothers grimm, for example. what could have been a nutty fantasy comedy, turned into an overblown fx vehicle. you’ve got some walking trees, a big bad werewolf, and the black ooze gingerbread man. which is all fine and good, but why did gilliam want to direct this movie? he usually deals with more thought-provoking subject matter.
it’s not a bad movie, by any means. considering the current trend of movies, it was pretty frickin’ awesome. still, i can’t help but feel like this a terry gilliam side project. a very funny side project. “matt damon!”
