Plot: A young boy joins a group of renegade dwarves on an unpredictable journey through time in this humorous fantasy. Monty Python animator Terry Gilliam mostly achieves a tricky balancing act in his second feature as sole director, creating a dark, irreverent comedy disguised as a family adventure. Particularly amusing are the boy's encounters with various historical figures, including an entertainment-starved Napoleon (Ian Holm), a powerful Agamemnon (Sean Connery), and a surprisingly stuffy Robin Hood, embodied by Gilliam's Python cohort John Cleese. Episodic by nature, the film is less successful when dealing with the larger narrative, which concerns the pursuit of the dwarves and their time-traveling map by the Supreme Being. However, the combination of Gilliam's visual exuberance and the witty script (by Gilliam and Michael Palin) ensures an entertaining, if erratic, journey. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

I have read other reviews of this DVD that weren't too kind and I just don't understand that. Maybe they should just watch Barney. This is among the best fantasy films of all-time. Python meets Wizard of OZ. A bargain at twice the price!

Time Bandits is my all time favorite movie. It's is completely imaginative. This is going to be the movie I remember from my childhood. I've never been able to choose my favorite movie until I saw this amazing piece of work. It's performances are wonderful, with John Cleese and Sean Connery.

If this movie didnt have a classic place in your heart from your younger years (I never saw it before) Im 24 and unless i missed something this movie could not be enjoyable for any aged person its not funny it didnt incite any excitement out of me for that matter it didnt really arouse any response except for dissapointment there wasnt a single good thing about this movie spare yourself the waisted time and find something else and if you did watch it when you were younger and havent seen it since then maybe you should leave it in the past and not ruin a good memory of it.
