You go into the theater expecting anything but psycho-gore- what the last half of this film consists of.
The Ring: Totally freaky stuff happens all the time.
Time Bandits: Midgets, travelling in time- disjointed storyline.
THE BROTHERS GRIMM: an exact mix of these- less midgets.
OK- at first you are confused by the swiss-cheese script, unaimed plot, and possible comedy-attempts. Just when you think you have figured out this fairy tale, a child is gruesomely webbed-up and devoured by a stable horse. (Remind you of anything? a HORSE.)
Then, after you have figured out when you're supposed to laugh, and maybe the movie is getting funny, then a kid gets mud on her from a cursed crow, and she rubs her face off and her eyes, nose and mouth are gone- it's just skin. That's when I thought- Yep, the Ring.
This movie isn't for adults, and it isn't for kids. And it isn't for kittens. Who is it for?
In this case- low expectations isn't better than no expectations, becasue it's what you need to watch this movie. Don't buy popcorn before you go it. Buy it 5 minutes into the movie. Buy your soda 10 minutes later. Then get candy in 5 more minutes. It's going to get pretty expensive-but it's what you have to do.
Is Batman Begins still in the dollar theater? |
