Why don't they make films like this anymore?,
By
This review is from: Time Bandits [DVD] (DVD)
One of the most fondly remembered films from my childhood, Time Bandits paints a tale of epic adventure across time and space...with a Gilliam twist. Our hero, a young lad called Kevin encounters a rag tag team of dwarves lead by (the late )David Rappaport, who has managed to steal a map from the Supreme being who has designed the universe. Naturally they are exploiting the 'shortcomings' in the designs to their own ends and ultimately to a magnificent treasure, and naturally, the Supreme being is in hot pursuit for the return of his map.As they 'weave' through the holes in the universe, they travel to distant times and other worlds, and encounter a host of celebrity cameos, adopting various roles; Ian Holm as Napolean, Sean Connery as a Greek King and the hilariously camp John Cleese as a Pantomime Robin Hood, leading a band of monstrous 'not so merry men', to name but a few of the stars in this fantastically surreal masterpiece, with a 'tongue firmly in cheek' perspective on the nature of reality. Robin Hood: And you're a robber too. How long have you been a robber? Wally: Four foot one. Robin Hood: Good lord! Jolly good. Four foot one? Well that-that-that is-is- a long time, isn't it

I was recommended this film by a friend, and i normally like these sorts of films but it was not good.I feel the title Time Bandits is apt as i'll never get that 116 minutes of my life back.

Classic Sci-Fi Comedy,
By Jo Van "Jo Van" (Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Bandits [DVD] (DVD)
This Movie has got to be a classic but will probably only appeal to a certain audience with an off-the-wall sense of humour.The story revolves around a young boy who becomes involved with a band of dwarves who have stolen a map that can take them through the dimensions between time and space. Their mission is to steal what they can along the way. Given the innocence of the young boy and the situations they find themselves in it can only lead to comedic excellence aided by the input of some of the Monty Python crew. An intellectual comedy, if laugh tracks and cued humour are your triggers, then avoid this, but if you can see the hilarity in modern society (this is not a new film, but the trend persists) then enjoy this. Detracting from this is the sound track, which has not been digitally remastered, but which will hopefully be done one day.
