Review of Time Bandits (1981) by Joey B — 28 Dec 2012
Time Bandits. This movie is weird. That is to be expected, however, as it is the spawn of Monty Python's Terry Gilliam. Created in 1981, Time Bandits is a masterpiece (in my eyes) in the world of special effects and set design for its time.
Off the wall and spotted with amazing humor, this movie is quite charming. However, it is has some major flaws. There is very little real character development in the cast (particularly among the dwarfs, though also for the main character, Kevin).
The story makes very little sense and leaves us with unanswerable questions (what the hell is this ending?). Still, the movie is good and is comparable to say...a better Labyrinth or...a good Troll 2 maybe? Yeah.
7.5/10.
