Review of Jabberwocky (1977) by Pandy 3 — 19 Feb 2011
"Jabberwocky, the monster so horrible that people caught the plague to avoid it".
Funny, silly and entertaining!!!
A young man Dennis Cooper (Michael Palin)sets on his way to the "big city" to prove himself worthy and return to marry his "angel" Griselda Fishfinger, but "its the middle of the dark ages, ages darker than anyone had ever expected" and the terrible monster, 'Jabberwocky' threatens the whole kingdom. Someone brave has to kill it? But who shall dare! A prince perhaps... Anyhow the lucky hero will be praised by the King (Max Wall) with certain goodies!
Terry Gilliam shows up as a man with rock but not just an ordinary rock its a diamond people and if you can't see it I suggest you check your eyes, and Terry Jones appears as a poacher. Overall Gilliam did a nice job in his first solo direction of this medieval adventure with a touch of Pythonesque humor. It could have been better but still its good enough to maintain the viewer's interest until the end. It has some nice fight scenes and interesting style, so if you are a fan watch it ;).
