Amazon.co.uk Review
Relentlessly funny, this. Monty Python And The Holy Grail is the second movie from the Monty Python team, and it’s crammed to the rafters with ideas, inventiveness, and very big laughs. The glue that holds it all together is a spin on the King Arthur legend. Thus, Arthur and his knights go off on a quest for the Holy Grail, and that forms the spine of the film. The fun? That’s everything that goes on around it.
Chances are, you already know the drill. The Monty Python team, of John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and Michael Palin, throw the jokes thick and fast at the screen. It’s a wildly creative concoction, from Gilliam’s animated skits through to the abundance of face-cracking one-liners. It all goes to make Monty Python And The Holy Grail a film rightly-regarded as a comedy classic.
The Blu-ray release is a treasure trove, too. Not withstanding the excellent presentation of the main feature, the real gold here is in the extra features, some of which are exclusive to the Blu-ray. Amongst them are some of Terry Gilliam’s once-lost animations, which he introduces himself, as well as outtakes and deleted scenes. That’s all on top of a pair of the funniest commentary tracks you’re likely to hear, and some interesting archive material, not least with the BBC’s Film Night programme on location with the movie.
It all feels gloriously complete, and that’s even before the high definition transfer, which is terrific in itself, has been taken into account. It genuinely feels that Monty Python And The Holy Grail has been given the disc release it deserves. Very highly recommended. --Jon Foster
Amazon.co.uk Review
Hailed by Time Magazine as “a movie” and by the Chicago Reader as “full of stuff”, Monty Python and the Holy Grail follows King Arthur and his band of less-than-merry men across the English countryside as they search for the elusive Grail. See flying cows, killer rabbits, vestal virgins and various forms of shrubbery as the Knights of the Round Table run away from peril at every possible moment. See the movie which critics universally agree is about 92 minutes long!

First, the bad. The singalongs. I don't really get the point. Why not just jump to the scenes in the movie itself?
The Holy Book of Days. It's literally exclusive, as in, i'm excluded from viewing it since i don't own an ipad.
And now, the good. Video quality is as awesome as it gets, i'm not really an audio connoisseur but it does sound great.
The commentaries and all the rest are brilliant.
Well that's pretty much it. If you're a Python fan, get this blu-ray, otherwise i shall say... Ni!

This is one of my favourite comedy films ever and I was so excited to purchase the blu-ray when I saw it come out and the video quality and audio does not disappoint what so ever but what does disappoint is the 'Holy Book of Days' feature which requires an iPad to use it which is not a particularly good idea to put something so exclusive on a blu-ray but that's apple for you!
Buy this for the film!

Once again another example of a quality British comedy, considering this movie was made in 1974 the jokes and the humour in the film are on the ball and ahead of there time. Great cast of actors and a really funny story. The bonus features are awesome too and altogether this is one must own Blu-ray
