At last!
10 February 1999
This is a great movie for all fantasy-lovers. For the first time they have made a "Grimm-tale" that actually follows the original story. It is sad to admit that the Grimm-brothers destroyed most of the folk-lore of Germany when they collected them. One might wonder why they did it ( what they did is that they made the folk-lore into stories for children and eliminated all the original horror, darkness and pessimism and made them all to nice tales with happy endings). One must admit that Sigourny Weaver is perfect in her role as an angry stepmother, and Sam Neill is not bad himself. So to all I must recommend this movie.
