Avengers Grimm

When Rumpelstiltskin destroys the Magic Mirror and escapes to the modern world, the four princesses of Once Upon a Time—Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Rapunzel—are sucked through the portal too. Well-trained and endowed with magical powers, they must fight Rumpelstiltskin and his army of thralls before he enslaves everyone on earth

It could lead to a good story... But it didn't. The acting is hurtful and embarrassing, the plot ridiculous and even the fighting scenes are horrendous. So if you've got time to spare watch something else. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

Stars : Casper Van Dien,Lou Ferrigno and Snow White,Rapunzel,Cinderella,Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood.

Write & Directed by : Jeremy M. Inman Must admit,Have wanted to see this flick since it was announced.

Not disappointed in the least,It has all The Mockbuster goodness,You would expect and more much more in exact dialogue 'That puts that tongue in that cheek' and Even a Avengers Hawkeye nod in plot that Rocked ! Casper as an oddly named villain is mucho over-the-top and enjoys every moment of his scenery chewing.

Lou Ferrigno may have had that once in a career chance to shine, And he plays with gusto,Not seen in other Superheriocs by major studios.

OK,Don't think a major spoiler that this looks like a franchise and a welcome one at that.

Why isn't there a negative scoring system? 1 (Awful) is being kind.

There is a 10 paragraph review in here on this film and I couldn't keep a straight face whilst reading it. Let this be a lesson; Trying to ride on the backs of multimillion dollar movies with a budget of $25 is not advised, even if you do have the opportunity to hire 5 MILFS and a couple of actors ready to shame themselves due to owing a backlog of rent. I suppose one shouldn't blame the actors, we all have to eat. I suggest to them a change in Agents.

I would rather wait for eternity for the right script and never see it than enter into a project that would of stunk on paper as bad as this surely would of.

This film was made as a tax write off, Right? .. Right? I believe I probably watched it a little longer than most, right up until Snow White demanded the others "Get In The Car!" at which point I watched the rest in fast forward skip mode.

To painful for words. Do yourself a favor and stick to the original fairy tales & marvel Comics that this modern pooper derived from.

Poor Casper Van Dien cant seem to find a good film ever, and this was no exception. Good old Lou takes hokey films because he's still rich from his days as the Hulk 40 years ago; he knew how to invest. And thats all worth mentioning. I had to read the IMDb page twice to make sure I hadnt picked up a whore-core film by mistake; the dialog, acting, and womens' "outfits" were so gawd-awful. To find that this schlock was supposed to be legit, and wasn't just sleazy "r" rated near-porn garbage was shocking.

So, yeah, if you want to watch some bimbos in short, nearly transparent dresses with thongs underneath (which occasionally does have its charm, I'll admit) in a plot more see-through than the dresses,with acting worse than a Kindergarten class program, this is your flick. The only directing in this film was giving directions back to the trailer for "extra perks". Special effects were iutta the 80s.

In all, it sucked. I got it on Netflicks, and I still overpaid.

By all means, there are worse Asylum movies out there than Avengers Grimm, but this was especially disappointing because the premise was great, one of the best ideas they've ever come up. However, the execution was bad, terrible even at worst, and the very misleading and irrelevant title does nothing in its favour and that's putting it mildly.

What saves Avengers Grimm from being unwatchable are the confident Red of Elizabeth Peterson and Casper Van Dien who is clearly having fun as Rumpelstiltskin (the one character that the writers even attempted to do something with). The rest of the acting is atrocious, Lauren Parkinson's Snow White's line delivery just grates, Kimo Leopoldo is as un-wolf-like as one could possibly get and Marah Fairclough spends the entire time looking dead as Sleeping Beauty. There's also the most forgettable version of Cinderella ever, both in acting and how the character is written. With the exceptions of Peterson and Van Dien, nobody looks interested or like they wanted to be there. Lou Ferringo is nice to see but is made up weirdly (the Dr Freeze and Colossus comparison is pretty apt) and bogged down with bad material and an under-characterised character who's barely in the movie to make enough of an impression, good to see him again but it doesn't go beyond that.

The characters are just dull, dumb stereotypes, with characterisation almost non-existent apart from Rumpelstiltskin, while the horrid (and that's being kind) dialogue is enough to make even an amateur actor embarrassed. The story does absolutely nothing with its concept, being told in a constantly sluggishly paced, paper-thin and muddled way, further disadvantaged by very confusingly choreographed, pedestrian-paced and sloppily edited fight scenes. Avengers Grimm is directed with little competence, has a soundtrack that is too often too loud and too quirky which jars with the 'darker' (in quote marks because the movie is little more than tired cheese throughout) moments and looks cheap. A couple of sets are decent, but most are basic and too darkly lit, the editing is besieged with continuity errors with all too obvious stunt doubles, the camera work is going-through-the-motions-like and while there are worse special effects around the effects are slapdash at best.

All in all, a great idea with near-disastrous execution. 2/10 Bethany Cox
