IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS REVIEW

http://YourGeekNews.com for more - Were it not for the extenuating circumstances of Heath Ledger's death mid-production and the just-in-time rescue by faces like Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp, Terry Gilliam's gorgeous masterpiece of nonsensical visual splendour might not have been a must-see film... but since all that DID happen, we can't help but recommend it, warts and all!

Wow! Your review is small and pathetic! Sorry your little cardboard brains cant accept something different than a cookie-cutter summer blockbuster.....but hey, don't worry, Ironman 2 is coming out just for people like you. "Whatever!"

I thought this movie was very good and I did not find the plot confusing.

This isn't a good review. You have to actually think about the film, it's not just spelled out. Nor should it be. They miss the point of alot of things and only seem to see the surface of everything. They infer nothing for themselves. And they don't keep an open mind to things. Something that doesn't make sense on the surface makes perfect sense when you actually apply a little thought. And it helps if you watch the film more than once. It's a really great film, you should definitely watch it.

The goal of these reviewers seems to be to promote mediocrity among the masses.

You sir, are a liar.

Guys, don't force your self to agree to "official" reviews or what the most ppl say. This movie was a huge crap. This one, Twilights and 300 were the only movies i really wanted to leave the cinema and ask my money back. You don't need brain to understand this movie. It's not Inception. It was horrible. No plot. Just awesome actors in a wrong place.

Wtf, not emotionally moving?

Oh, and I love David Lynch too, so to say the review is based on someone "not getting it" is off, in my opinion. Scriptwriting was poor at the end, plain and simple. Sorry Terry!

I love Terry Gilliam, but I think the review is right on. Why take this likeable character, right at the end, and make him immediately unikeable? He takes Valentina's virginity, marries her, then inexplicably turns *bad*. Whaaa? It seemed like the plot was missing a few pages. Beautifully shot and acted, masterfully directed, but plot was WONKY. Still worth a watch. If only they could get Don Quixote off the ground...

matt and nat.... ur so very stupid and not at all wise.... so do us all a favor and shut it.. b4 u catch a cold

Still haven't seen this movie, very much want to, but........ Terry Gilliam films are indeed for the creative-minded, the people who think outside the paradigm, the people who can actually handle material without the start-point to end-point kinds of scripting. Brazil, genius. 12Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the Fisher King..... brilliant.  And to Volty down below, Lynchian films are great, especially the way he mind-fucks you. Art is not always meant to be straight forward.

This movie was absolutely FANTASTIC! I don't understand what you guys are talking about and why you found it confusing. I loved it. The storyline, the characters, the visualizations, the message. Everything was brilliant. I loved Heath Ledger in the movie and his character was great. No matter which version/actor the character was, you knew that it was the same person and the other actors did a wonderful job playing him. The entire plot flowed very well. I was impressed. Amazing movie.
