Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

sz Five dwarfs, bored with their everyday tedium, steal a map from God Himself and take it on the lam with hopes of using the purloined item to secure the usual: riches beyond their wildest dreams. And so the madcap chase is on through space and time, a bright youngster nabbed along the way simply for the hell of it. That's it. And it's beautiful.

grantss OK, but not great. Plot is random. At first, this is good and provides several funny moments and pleasant turns. After a while though, it becomes chaotic, and the random turns seem like a desperate way to keep the movie going and pad out time. Reasonably fun though - kids will probably enjoy it. Also very funny at times and has some great Pythonesque moments (quite appropriate, for a movie written by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, directed by Gilliam, and starring Palin and John Cleese).Ultimately a bit disappointing as it had quite a lot of potential and started so well.

dworldeater I would say for the most part, the entertainment(music, movies)that I enjoyed as kid I still like as an adult. Time Bandits, holds up way better than most and as time goes on, I actually appreciate the film more. Time Bandits has a lot going for it. It is a unique fantasy film that is intelligent, funny, well made and all around entertaining. This very unconventional adventure is carried well by young Craig Warnock who plays Kevin(who is very smart and grounds the film) and our most outstanding gang of little people who stole a map of creation from God, to go through time to rob history blind. This sets them on course to The Fortress Of Ultimate Darkness where Evil(played by the great David Warner) has his own plans for the map and plans to recreate the world in his image. Also John Cleese, Shelly Duvall and Sean Connery all appear in memorable, well used cameos. This came from the mind of genius Terry Gilliam who wrote this in a weekend and directed this as well. While this movie is appropriate entertainment for the whole family, it never comes across as cheesy or dumbed down. It is also very unpretentious, lighthearted and moves along quickly. Time Bandits holds up better than most and I have never seen anything else that is quite like it.

gavin6942 A young boy accidentally joins a band of dwarfs as they jump from era to era looking for treasure to steal.Upon my first viewing, I didn't much care for this film. Not sure why, but it definitely did not appeal to me. Even with all the Monty Python folks involved (including John Cleese as Robin Hood), I wasn't sold.On second viewing, I love it. The costumes, the characters... and with Blu-ray, the film looks better than ever before. There are some elements of fantasy similar to "Legend" or other films of the era, but executed better here and with that quirky sense that Gilliam had before he went mainstream.
