Opinion divided - LIKE MOST GILLIAM FILMS, LOL

I think it should be expected this film , as with so many other Gilliam films, is seen as a hit-or-miss with so manny people. That's more often than not the case with Gilliam films, isnt it?

He made Baron Munchausen FFS. Not to mention Dr Parnassus, another film I enjoyed a great deal. But watching it I knew it wasn't going to satisfy everyone.

But for me, what makes Gilliam films great is the SUBSTANCE. There's so much there, in the plot , script and not to mention.... the SETS.. the costumes... effects... always great.

Keep in mind this is a filmmaker who always tends to... go 'all out' .. with a concept, and once in a while will make something like Fear and Loathing, or Fisher King, or 12 monkeys, considered some of the best films ever. You cant make a film that good every time....... but you can try. And Gilliam does try to make good films... which is a lot better, in my opinion. than a director making something passable, which maybe has a plot that wraps up nicely, but... didnt try to do anything new or different.
