Time Bandits Reviews

---

W.T.F?
This movie does not make sense. And it's not weird in the style of David Lynch, it's just complete crap. I thought Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory was the worst/stupidest fil ever until i saw this. Do not buy this. It is not a family movie, and it is not funny or entertaining.

Worth it for the commentary track but first buy the Divimax edition.
After reading the reviews of the various editions carefully -- thank you to those who make that worthwhile -- I bought the Divimax edition first for superior image, sound and range of special features (and they are wonderful). Then I came back and bought this the Criterion edition (used and at reduced price) just for the exclusive commentary track by director Terry Gilliam. It was worth it. If you are a real fan, I recommend owning both versions of this his great children's (nod nod wink wink) fantasy classic.
I might add that this is the best Sean Connery has EVER looked -- he quickly and completely outshines all the more recent Greek hero personifications -- but that is just icing on the cake.
The child in and above the world is the story's heart.
