Better the 2nd time around

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2006)

I first saw this movie when it came out in theaters and thought it was OK but nothing special. I saw it on opening night and I guess the movie was different than I expected.
My 2nd viewing was in December of 2006 and I really enjoyed the movie. I guess the fact that I knew what to expect but forgot many of the details made it a much more enjoyable experience.
I am not a big fan of Brazil and I thought the Brothers Grimm was horrid but I will say that Gilliam deserves credit for this movie.
I am sure that this movie has more than quite a few reviews. I am aiming my review towards those who saw it once and thought it was so-so as a recommendation for a 2nd viewing.
Also, If you liked this movie, I highly recommend Donnie Darko. They both deal with time travel but in very different ways. I personally gave Donnie Darko a 9 and Twelve Monkeys an 8. However, I think this would be a great double feature if you have a relaxed night.
