Such a frustrating disappointment

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

WARGING POSSIBLE SPOILERS:OS= Doesn't even Begin to Hold A Candle to ABC's Once Upon A Time Dearies Pros = 1= At Least It Is a Girl Power Female Empowerment Movie Cons = 1= Giving it a 2 feels a little too Generous (Please Read The Pro Section)2= Constant Camera Shaking3= Robert Carlyle From ABC's Once Upon A Time makes A LOT BETTER Rumplestilskin 4= This Movie's Rumplastlskin has absolutely have NO Motivation what so ever. Literally Making him a Mustache Twirling Vallin. At least the Motive with Robert Carlyle's Version (ABC's Once Upon A Time) has some kind of Motive on the Show. 5= As my Subject Title Says Horribly Laughable to say the lest. 6= Robert Carlyle's Rumplestilskin (ABC's Once Upon A Time) is much MORE FLESHED out Despite Once Upon A Time being a TV Show. Even In the Frist Two Episodes Alone Robert Carlyle's Rumplstilskin feels Much More Fleshed Out than this 'Movie's' Rumplestilskin. 7= Can't stop Comparing it to ABC's Once Upon A Time and how Much More Infinitely Better it is 8= So Torturous to Watch that I just had to take a quick Sneak at an Image or Two of Once Upon A Time from time to just to make my Viewing Experience that much more Bearable. 9= The Character Relationships and The Movie as a Whole was Grinchy and Unconvincing At Best. 10= Where were the Regular People from This Reality???????!!!!!11= The Movies is A Mess And All Over The Place Not Only as a Plot but also in other Areas as well. 12= The So Called 'Cliff-Hanger' was Pointless and Doesn't Leave you wanting for more. And Aside from those it is also Real Predictable. 13= I Don't know which is worse Snow White And The Huntsmen or.....This? 14= Most if Not The Entire Movie is Extremely Predictable. 15= And Finally= Feels Like a Less Than a B-Movie HIT and/or MISS= The McGuffin or Goal in the movie is Simple and Kind Of Holds Potential CS= Stay Away From This Less Than Piece Of Trash, Instead Watch Buy If You Have To ABC's Once Upon A Time it is Infinitely Far More Superior. Any Season Would Do. But if you asked me I think you should try to watch every Season. (1-7th And Final Season)

This film is pure fantasy, but as it never pretends to be anything else you can forget about little things like the laws of physics. It has had some surprisingly bad reviews, but perhaps some people don't get it. Dude, this is not to be taken seriously, it is based on characters from world famous fairy tales bundled together, transported to the West Coast of America - where else? - and brought up to date.There is a principal bad guy, five good guys who happen to be gals showing plenty of cleavage and refusing to be damselled, there is plenty of action, and sex appeal without any sex to speak of. And there is redemption for one character who although a nominal villain is really anything but.Okay, it isn't for everyone, but the soundtrack isn't too bad, likewise the special effects. And not a profane word is uttered throughout, so some might even consider it family entertainment.

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.

If you like all kinds of movies and you know what you're getting into, this movie is a lot of fun.Casper van Dien is having fun playing his role, Lou Ferrigno is impressive at 64 and the princesses are intentionally bitchy and thus work quite well, even though the performances were, um, all over the place. The effects, the overall production value and especially the camera are great FOR THIS KIND OF MOVIE.If you're like me and you enjoy a movie despite OR especially because of the fact, that it has an IMDb rating below 3, give this one a try, it's one of the best of that kind.
