The beginning of the movie was stunning. We laughed, we admired the incredibly clever and original postmodern intrigue, basically, we were so incredibly eager to see the story get going and develop into a beautiful show of wit and twists. God, oh, God, what a disappointment followed! I have never written a comment here, because in each and every movie, regardless of how bad it was, I realized there was something that might appeal to a certain number of viewers, so, hey, who am I to say? But with The Brothers Bloom there is such a crappy trap, that I cannot just sit and do nothing, as other hundreds of people are misled into watching it by the great cast and the amazing plot! It's boring as hell, if you take apart the ever changing locations. But even the locations are cheap and unbearably corny, unless you're in love with Europe and have never been out of the US or Japan, the characters are shallow and have no real personality... Basically, it all resumes to a horrible script. I know nothing of the director and writer of the movie, I read he's a cool guy. But honestly, he should find a professional script writer, cause he sure as hell has no idea about a dialog. Of course, there are also some good things, cause otherwise there wouldn't be so many people writing how the movie is the best - nice humor, every now and then, but never from dialog, which is really sad, and the amazing Rachel Weisz, she could act perfectly in the worst movie, I start to think. In conclusion, if you are in for a Saturday flick and don't mind pretentious screenplays that, ultimately, are very kitsch, go for it. If you expect to see an amazing adventure/romance movie with a clever plot, you'll regret every moment after minute 20 of the movie.
