undyingkingWell, it's no Brazil, but we enjoyed it. It'd be nice to see Tery Gilliam doing more with his talents, but I guess he has to pay the rent somehow, and as fantastical effects-laden occult tosh goes, this is streets ahead of the likes of Van Helsing.
If you don't like insects and the like, there are quite a few gruesome moments. In fact the whole thing is pretty gruesome for a 12A: two severed heads, a minced kitten, a ghastly eyeless face, a rabbit being flayed and gutted... yikes! And that's not counting the truly terrifying array of dodgy wandering accents being put about by Messrs Damon, Ledger and Pryce.
Overall: go to see it with fairly moderate expectations, and you won't be disappointed.
