Review of Time Bandits (1981) by Grant S — 03 Apr 2013
OK, but not great. Plot is random. At first, this is good and provides several funny moments and pleasant turns. After a while though, it becomes chaotic, and the random turns seem like a desperate way to keep the movie going and pad out time.
Reasonably fun though - kids will probably enjoy it. Also very funny at times and has some great Pythonesque moments (quite appropriate, for a movie written by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, directed by Gilliam, and starring Palin and John Cleese).
Ultimately a bit disappointing as it had quite a lot of potential and started so well.
