...darkly amusing, often entertaining and overwhelmingly bizarre. Ultimately, the film gets bogged down in its own adventurous aspirations, although it looks a treat with splendid production design and fantastic effects.

The movie feels thoroughly like a project Gilliam did halfheartedly, just to stay in the game.
08/11/07
A disjointed, ear-splitting, visually-jarring, mirthless exercise in pandemonium that director Terry Gilliam tries to pass off as family entertainment.

everyone involved in the production appears to have become lost in the dark woods, hoping somehow to find their way out with an incoherent trail of compromises.

As magical as classic fairy tales may seem to be, a winking Gilliam is out to prove here that to a profoundly superstitious, stressed out early 19th century world, those legends were as frighteningly real as any documentary or even reality show today.

It's hard to imagine whom the filmmakers had in mind for this lavish production.

Top Critic It's a slog, an out-of-control fantasy that's strangely unenchanting and, in the end, rather tiresome.

Una aventura cómica y liviana, que se beneficia de la imaginación visual del director Terry Gilliam.

There is much in this film to admire, but it goes by too fast and the story is almost incomprehensible. There is certainly enchantment here, but the story does not do much to hold it together.
12/20/05
The movie is at least twice as good as most people say it is and about half as good as we'd all hoped it would be.

Perfect family entertainment and undoubtedly well worth seeing, but somewhat of a let down.
