Review of Time Bandits (1981) by Samuel C — 28 Mar 2012
A pretty fantastic fantasy movie, it sure as hell starts out slow with Napoleon's bit, but definitely picks up and becomes great when Sean Connery arrives. The comedy is a bit thin, as there are only a few laugh out loud moments, however the effects are really what steal the show. Back then they were amazing, and now they definitely have a certain charm. The art style for the whole movie is varied but really friggin' cool overall. Also the end is pretty great, definitely check it out if you're a Monty Python fan.
PROS: Sean Connery, great special effects and set pieces, cool art style.
CONS: Few great laughs, slow start.
