Review of Time Bandits (1981) by John A — 29 Aug 2014
A Smart And Original Historic Fantasy Film That Both Kids And Adults Will Enjoy. Co-Written & Directed By Terry Gilliam, Time Bandits Proved That Gilliam Was More Than Just Monty Python's Resident Animator, It Proved He Has Some Great Directorial Skills.
The Film Features A Great Cast Of British Actors, Giving Excellent Performances In Supporting Roles. The Film Follows A Young Boy, Kevin Who Joins A Group Of Renegade Dwarves On An Adventure Through History As They Jump Through Various Inter-Dimensional Time Holes.
Gilliam's Second Feature As A Solo Director Is A Dark Comedy Disguised As A Children's Family Adventure. Kevin's Encounters With Historic Figures Are Quite Comical. The Great Supporting Cast Include, Sean Connery, John Cleese, Michael Palin (Who Also Co-Wrote The Film), Shelley Duvall, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm With David Warner As Evil & Ralph Richardson As Good.
This Film Is Driven By It's Uniqueness And It's Excellent Well Known Supporting Cast. It's Beautifully Written And Directed.
