Review of Time Bandits (1981) by Geoff P — 09 Mar 2008
Hmm. I'm shocked I didn't like this movie. I hope that it's not because I'm getting old, because that would be tragic, but this has got to be the most boring adventure I've ever been on.
It feels quirky for the sake of quirkiness, irreverent for the sake of irreverence, and quite wishy-washy on what it wants to be. I'm sure as a kid I would've liked this much better, but as an adult it doesn't quite hold up to adult standards.
Evil is quite funny, with some great giggle-inducing lines, but otherwise, not a great script form Palin and Gilliam. Just not as good as I thought it would be. Disappointing.
