This is a terrible terrible movie! Tied with Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy as the worst in the world in my opinion....this has absolutely no substance, no underlying plot, and is in NO WAY faithful to the original tales...this movie isThis is a terrible terrible movie! Tied with Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy as the worst in the world in my opinion....this has absolutely no substance, no underlying plot, and is in NO WAY faithful to the original tales...this movie is practically a parody of itself just as hitchikers was. Do not watch this movie unless you want to get trolled by stupidity and utter, utter ****… Expand

it pretty much sucked.. had potential.. bringing the fairy tales to life in a dark fashion, but it completely flopped. wasn't remotely funny.

This was an ugly movie, both in tone and visualization. About the only thing attractive in the movie were the horses. There was no sense of wonder, nothing to admire or root for and what passed for comedic relief was irritating and This was an ugly movie, both in tone and visualization. About the only thing attractive in the movie were the horses. There was no sense of wonder, nothing to admire or root for and what passed for comedic relief was irritating and tiresome--not funny. Rather than exploring why German folk tales were so dark, the movie seems to enjoy wallowing in a squalid portrayal of its story.… Expand

This mess should never have made it into reality. A fairy tale it should have remained. And a forgotten one at that. A complete waste of time.

Looks good, when not let down by dodgy cheap SFX, but ultimately a mess.

Might've been halfway decent.....Except it wasn't linear or fluid in any way, form, or fashion. As a matter of fact, it was as if Terry Giliam just put the entire film into a shredder, mixed it all up, and taped it back together Might've been halfway decent.....Except it wasn't linear or fluid in any way, form, or fashion. As a matter of fact, it was as if Terry Giliam just put the entire film into a shredder, mixed it all up, and taped it back together expecting it to be in order. The visuals were waaaaaay over the top, and looked fake and hokey. Like I said....it would have been a great story...if there "WAS" a story. 3 out of 10.… Expand

I saw it because I am a Gilliam fan and afterwards, decided that it is best to not think that Terry Gilliam was in fact involved with this... Storyline made little to no sense... French accents were true in that they were completely I saw it because I am a Gilliam fan and afterwards, decided that it is best to not think that Terry Gilliam was in fact involved with this... Storyline made little to no sense... French accents were true in that they were completely incomprehendable, and the "love" storyline was just ludicrous. I would recommend you not see this movie unless you can see it for free.… Expand

How do they make these bad movies? Is there a magic formula on how to piss the public off? Avoid at all costs.

A confused mess. oy-vey. Such a shame... with just a little effort they could have made this into a really mediocre movie. Instead it was just a mess. At least when the curse was broken they all became Jewish and danced the hora!

I'm usually easily entertained, but this movie was so awful I felt compelled to voice my opinion. I was only able to follow the story line thanks to the summary on the case cover. The characters, acting, plot sequences... nothing worked I'm usually easily entertained, but this movie was so awful I felt compelled to voice my opinion.

I walked out it was so bad. Rather than scary it was laughable.

Pretty bad. Just short of terrible. It was completely directionless, completely lacking focus. It had something like a plot, but somebody forgot about it along the way. Sloppy, messy, and not bad enough to be fun.
