Customer Ratings & Reviews

I didn't Know what to expect from this movie since I heard very little about it. The movie contains three Tales interspersed within the film. A very strange set of tales that include a Queen having to eat a creatures heart so she can give birth, A king who marries a Beautiful women who isn't what she seems, and a king who nurture's a flea and makes a terrible wager with his Daughter. The Blu ray Looks really great and sounds amazing too, as for the movie I was hoping for a bit more of something to these tales but still interesting.

Three unrelated (but loosely connected by the end) fantasy stories are intercut as each one develops. The dark tales are enhanced by great locations, sets, costumes and visual effects and performed by an international cast. The video and audio are excellent. The bonus features include a trailer, TV spots and a nearly hour long documentary about the making of the film that is well worth watching.

Its been raining here every afternoon for the past month. So I sat down to watch this "Tale of Tales". I liked it, somewhere between Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm. Fairytales based on ancient Far Eastern children's stories? You will just have to watch it and see for yourself. Spoiler Alert: The Butler Didn't do it this time. :o) Enjoy. :o)

This is what I choose to call a lavishly strange movie. We enjoyed it, even though the ending seemed abrupt because we failed to see the meanings, at the time, behind the lessons taught in these dark fairy tales. We'll definitely watch it again when it comes up in the rotation.

For a movie with the title Tale of Tales. The storyline really wasn't that great. There were some good moments and visuals looked good, but it seems this movie didn't know exactly what it wanted to be. At the end I just felt something was missing and I wanted more.

TALE OF TALES sparked my interest, but upon viewing, I was unimpressed with this strange story that made little sense, and seemed to be a fancy of its screenplay writer and director. There are interesting moments, but this film is easily forgotten.

Selma Hyack, Vincent Cassal , Toby Jones , head the weird tales that occasionally criss cross . The three main plots are strange tales with stranger characters. Beautifully filmed with cinematic sets , views , etc. If you like the Brothers Grimm world , it's close.

i heard great reviews for this movie, but honestly i never pay attention to the reviews being that for movies we all have different taste....this is kind of dark fairy tale movie it tells the story of three characters looking for happiness i guess, sacrificing everything they have doing all they can in order to achieve it? but at the end i guess when is forced is not likely to last....i think it was dark and sweet compared to mostly fairy tale movies we are used to i would totally recommend this movie pretty entertaining, visually attractive good acting good editing good visuals......is worth your time and money if you decide to buy it

This movie is essentially 3 overlapping stories taken from a book containing 50 stories. Acting is great, with unusual visuals and occurrences. If you're a fan of old tales and Salma Hayek, it's well worth a look.

Everyone wants to do a different take on the old classic tales. This one is fine, but weird. A little too different for me, but still see it in my opinion.

Lush, well-cast, atmospheric original tale, with sumptuous scenery and costuming. A pleasant change from the usual frenetic chases and non-stop bombardment with noise.

The DVD was reasonably priced and it was new. The story was very regal but the ending was a little flat . Good casting but a great product for fantasy lovers

I was hoping for more....the creature in this dvd was not convincing and the plot never really developed to show the talents of the actors. Expected more.

I had to watch twice and still going back a 3rd. Great costumes. A period piece. But hard to follow plot lines. I would recommend but watch at own risk.

Beautiffuly shot but strange tales set in medieval Europe. Hard to understand some of the plots. None of the characters were sympathetic to me.

this movie i thought was 3 or 4 different stories but to my surprise was a movie with all the story connecting was done great me and family enjoyed it

The writers of these Tales were overly GRIMM. These are very twisted and nasty tales that have demented characters. If you love dark twisted , extreme stories you will adore this film. The special effects are well done and Selma Hayek and Toby Jones are amazing. I question why John C Reilly is in this for 3 minutes at most. The twin boys are quite beautiful in looks and actions. I highly recommend this as a sick flight into the darker fairy tales.

That's my description of the movie. Interesting take on storybook elements. Everyone does a great job acting wise.

Was a bit disappointed in the movie. Was able to get through the movie but was less than impressed.

This movie was a bit bizarre, but in a good way. Relaying several stories intertwined so pay attention!
