2009. Thought I saw very long ago and not understand. Commentary, Making Of.

Heath Ledger's last film which became a tribute to him. (Don't watch the extra about the film being shown around the world.)

Terry Gilliam won't let you down. If you liked Monty Python then you might enjoy this.

I saw this once before and didn't quite understand it, so my opinion was on the high side of neutral; a second viewing revealed much of the subtext that makes it far more coherent than it initially appears. Movies about the power of…

Really liked this film. It almost seemed Oz-ish in a fashion

This is a wild and fable-like hallucinatory film that has numerous shifts in pacing and innumerable plot shifts and story-in-story-in-story... developments. Highly enjoyable!

I thought this movie was very beautifully done. It was very creative to use different actors for Heath Ledger's character as he had passed away before filming was completed. The was it was done was very respectful and very imaginative - it…

Love him or hate him, Terry Gilliam never leaves you feeling neutral. This time he focuses his fervent imagination on the story of Dr. Parnassus; immortal, one-time mystic and now the owner of a ramshackle sideshow, “The Imaginarium” which…

Not to be confused with "Mr. Mogorium's Wonder Emporium." Terry Gilliam was one of the first directors I liked when I got into movies, but his work has been pretty disappointing over the past decade ("Brothers Grimm," "Tideland"), although…

Bravo! This is a brilliant film that is extraordinary in every way. If you don't need your art spoon-fed to you like a little baby, I highly recommend this gem.

the cinematography is extraordinary ... the imaginarium is full of Dali-esque landscapes come to life

I couldn’t wait for this movie to end and then wanted those long, long 123 minutes back. There seemed to be potential in the first 15 or so minutes but then, before there was any opportunity to connect with any of the characters, the…

Totally disappointing. Not worthy watching even because of the Ledger.

Sadly, this film occupies a place as one of Terry Gilliam's lesser works, and also one of the least memorable performances by the late and lamented Heath Ledger. Morbid curiosity, however, isn't enough to justify putting in the 2 hours or…

I keep thinking of "Monty Python" when I see the work of Terry Gilliam brilliantly displayed on the screen.

Awful,... I only watched it all the way through coz of Heath Ledger, or else I would have turned it off after 10 minutes,.

I was excited to watch this film after viewing the trailer. Unfortunately, the story was confusing and I lost interest. The acting was good but could have been better if the story was up to par with the visual effects. Gilliam, whom also…

Excellent performances by all, including newcomer Cole. Amazing cinematography/visuals. Sometimes confusing/difficult to follow. Nonetheless, definitely worth seeing.

If you like Terry Gilliam, you'll like this: really remarkable visuals, but not always rock solid story. However, you have to wonder if some of that has to do with the re-figuring of the movie due to Heath Ledger's death.

Obviously a genius piece of film-making from a genius artist. Terry Gilliam combines "Orpheus & Eurydice" with "Faustus" and a few other bits, throws in some theatre and travelling circus / wagon morality plays, stirs it around a bit,…

that's quite an imaginarium but the story is good too.

This movie is lambasted for being too confusing when it is not confusing as much as it is thought-provoking. It's irritating to see how many people refuse to use their brains and just say 'I don't get it' and leave it at that. The…

I found this movie to be very visually pleasing with a decent story line, but poorly executed.

story is terrible, directing is awful, visual graphics are excellent and acting is not up to the standard from such great actors.. the story is confusing unless you watch the trailer
