A Grim Grimm Tale

Ultimately, I think this was a very interesting idea, but poorly executed. The script needed work and couldn't decide if it wanted to be serious and gruesome or slapstick funny, which resulted in several awkward moments where you are just horrified. The effects were pretty good, the directing moderately better, but I have to say I was absolutely thrilled by the performance of Heath Ledger. He is a remarkable talent and seems to squeeze into completely different roles with ease. Beautiful job. Matt wasn't half bad either, though the nuances of Heath's performance were more commendable. All in all, though, I think this one is a renter at best.
