Avengers Grimm: Time Wars

Superhero movie done on a youtubers budget and a struggle to watch, but as an unintentional comedy, it kind of works.

My favourite part was when an ordinary collapsible led camping lamp was carried out by a merman to much fanfare, representing some kind of magical power orb or whatever, with the camera lingering on it as if it was the best prop they'd ever seen.

So bad it's almost good.

If it's got "Asylum" on the credits, it's a dud, every time. Potential viewers be warned: this is no different than typical Asylum schlock. Neither funny nor entertaining... but amazingly not as bad as most Asylum films.

The acting is so-so, not as bad as everyone might present considering the budget, short production time and terrible directing. The script is terrible, which gives the actors little to work with. I actually rather enjoyed the part of Rumple; he was properly villainous. Mag was over-the-top villainous, which such parts require. Mad Hatter and Alice were moderately tolerable. Sleeping Beauty was a blonde bimbo present only for eye candy. Prince Charming was ridiculously and properly hero-prone. Red was fairly cute and decently acted (for a limited-part stone-cold assassin).

The time travel theme and special effects were neither as bad nor as confusing as some have claimed in reviews. The time travel part was actually rather simplistic as far as such plots go. It's Asylum; no one expects cerebral out of them. I don't really understand how other reviewers didn't follow the time-travel pattern; it wasn't at all complex... nor even essential to the plot. It was just sort of thrown in for who knows what reason. So they could tack "Time Wars" onto the title?

This might be good for a chuckle on a rainy Saturday, Mystery-Science style with your friends. Or not. Again: there are far better films. I really don't know why I bother to keep watching Asylum films. Deer in the headlights or the ridiculously-optimistic belief that someday they just might make a good one. Seriously... that is just never going to happen.

What's left to say?

Bad script, bad directing, bad sets, bad actors, bad, er what's left? Catering? Who knows?

I've seen some bad movies but this is up - or down! - there with the worst of them.

Hey - IMDB ratings rarely get this low, they're always over-hyped so you know this a really bad movie, you don't have to take my word for it.

Go watch it. Then I can say "I told you so".

1 star rating for the sound effects, nice cover photo and clear picture. Nothing went well for this movie. From drab fight scenes, to incoherent time travel scene switches, to transitions, to (barely noticeable if you can finally find some) acting, this movie oozes crap. My eyes are definitely not going to forgive me for making them go through this ever again!!!

While I have some fun with it, it's still a bad movie. The story is unfocused and a complete mess with Magda the Mad wanting to marry the prince in order to rule something while a group of fairy tale character team up to stop her. They get sent back in time which nothing interesting happen and where they spend a lot of time. The pacing is really awful on how things happened pretty quickly and it feels like it rushing itself. The fight scenes are extremely bad with it happening quickly and the choreography is really bad. The characters themselves are nothing to write about because all of them are generic. I do like the performance of Rumpelstiltskin who gives off a overtop villain who is the only enjoyable character in the entire movie. Alice and Mad Hatter are fine, but don't appear that much in the movie. Red and Sleeping Beauty are just there to help out. Prince Charming spends a lot of time captured and his acting gets old quickly. Snow White is your standard badass female lead who isn't that memorable. And Magda the Mad plays your typical villain. The movie ends in a anticlimactic way.

Avengers Grimm: Time Wars has some cheesy moments, but has a ton of problems with it.
