| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFanciful biography of the early 19th century German fairy-tale collectors. |
| User ReviewLynnette LIt was a good movie, I loved the characters |
| User ReviewSven SThe original Brothers Grimm story is magical, playful and filled with great, imaginative stories! |
| User ReviewGreg WI saw this wonderful movie in 1962 at the cinerama theater in Pittsburgh, Pa.--the Warner Theater. I was twelve years old and I loved it madly! It was my favorite movie of all time (for then.) There had never been a movie like it before. My parents had taken us to see cinerama before, but mainly they were just thrill rides (This Is Cinerama,) or travelogues (Seven Wonders of the World.) This was the first cinerama film with a plot--a regular movie, but so much more! It was just awesome and it blew me away. I still love it. And, by the way, none of us kids thought it was too long--it had an intermission, as many movies then did. |
| User Reviewjenna oamazing, just incredible. never seen anything like it |
| User ReviewJohn ZWith wonderful special effects and stories the brothers grimm is a classic. |
| User ReviewConjo YVery original, emotional movie. Really a fairy tale. Good music and songs, too. The special effects, though groundbreaking in 1962, is now dated, but it's organic nature makes it fit in well with the movie. |
| User ReviewBradley GI loved the dark setting and the visual effects. Cant say much for the storyline. |
| User ReviewJamie TThis film would have gotten a full five stars if not for the audacity of the barristers! Even that was almost offset by the great celebrity death-match in part III. |
| User ReviewMichael TVery charming. 1st widescreen movie to be released. The acting is a little hokey but I relate to the message. There's a moment in the film when his characters come visit him. We all long for these fictional characters were real somehow. And if you created the characters you long to meet them so much more. Be ready to fast forward. Some scenes (like dance sequences) draaaaaaaag on. |
