Time Bandits

Bored Out Of Time

This is gonna be a very short review about Time bandits

So its a classic Terry Gilliam film with wacky things going on in live action and clay modelling I guess. It a random film which tries to string everything alone with time travel. Its starts with a boy named Kevin who has a vivid imagination and meets 6 dwarfs who escape from his wardrobe. Wait that sounds like Narnia. From there he meets the likes of Napoleon, Robin Hood and some others. The dwarfs want to be thieves by stealing stuff from each era whilst on the run from god to whom they stole a map from with time holes in. God decided to create a man called evil to see how he would turn out and he wanted the map to take over the world. He lures the dwarfs to him and tries to kill, however god kills him and says he knew what was going on and was a test for evil which he didn't like. God takes them all back and kevin wakes up thinking its a dream.

I didn't like the movie and found it rather dull and boring lacking the usual humour I would be expecting from some of the cast members of Monty Python.  Its a must see for a fan of Terry Gilliam but I would not personally recommend it.
