Summary: ........wow.
Review: This movie is surely the best comedy I have ever seen. It is based on the classic tale "Knights of The Round Table". Except, this movie adds its own little twists, e.g. King Arthur rides an imaginary horse wile his apprentice clunks coconuts together, the French poke fun at him, and everybody sings hilarious songs, oh, and I forgot to mention, this movie has some wonderfully sick humor. This special edition gives you an inside look at where the movie was filmed with actor commentary. You will learn amazing facts, like how the movie was filmed in a very small area. And this isn`t one of those movies you only watch once. No, no. You`ll want to keep watching it over and over. Soon enough you`ll be quoting it. This is definitely is the best of all the Monty Python movies. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Summary: INFINITE STARS!!!
Review: I first saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail at school (of all places) since it was a spoof of history, we saw it at the end of the year in history class. I loved the movie so much that then I knew I wanted the DVD! I bought the DVD right away and loved the special features as well. I especially like the LEGO KNIGHTS scene. This scene is the "Knights of the Round Table" scene but in Lego. It is hilarious! I also liked this movie so well that I did a play of it at Vector Theater Conservatory. It was fun and hilarious. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME and I would rate it 10/5 stars. A must see and a must buy. Rent it. It will be well worth the couple bucks you spend!

Summary: Well, this movie is not for you...
Review: Because it's mine. Not just kidding. Get away.

If you'll grab it and run, I'll mount my Russian llama and catch you at once. Beware.

By the way: there will be new 4-DVD Special edition soon, with new final titles and final score. Those titles will be 130 minutes longer and will be placed on 3 additional DVDs. And a gift - genuine Holy Grail in every box. Flattened a little. Enjoy.

And don't say anybody. Top secret.

Still here?

Summary: The Move is a 5 but this Collector's Edition is a 2.5
Review: Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the greatest comedies of our time (in fact I think I'm going to watch it right now,) however, this "Collector's Edition" is just the same as the "Special Edition" but it comes in a fancy-dancy box and comes with a book (whooooooo!!!!) and a film cell (aren't you impressed, I thought so.) So, if you are a hardcore fan you might just want to get it because it has the Python name on it. Us regular fans will stick with our old copies of the Special Edition (for it is the same)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Among the top comedy films ever made...
Review: If you have not seen this film, seriously, you've been deprived. Monty Python was going strong in the late 60s/early 70s and after the show ended, the team decided to embark on a film project which led to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Released in 1975, this film has stood the test of time and produced many fans around the world and developed cult status. Monty Python followed up with two sequels ("Life of Brian," "Meaning of Life"), but of the three this comedy marvel is still the strongest.

Even when it drags a bit in the middle, this is still a collection of funny moments. Who can forget the Black Knight scene with its overexaggerated blood spilling and silly determination of the black knight? How about the knights who say ni? The bridge of death? These scenes and more are outstandingly hilarious and are scenes that one CANNOT dispute the fact that they are indeed funny.

The Monty Python Gang put fine performances into the various different roles that they play in addition to the main characters. The biggest standout for me was Graham Chapman as King Arthur, probably due to his commanding presence.

The film, directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones of the Python gang, is noticeably low budget, but you can tell they satired that with silly animation transitions and use of coconuts and political satire. One of the few films with a low budget that is intentionally looking low budgeted.

If you have not seen this film, YOU MUST. It's a comedy gem and a classic. Look past the hype, the conventions, etc. and enjoy the film. It's still a 5-star classic that shouldn't be ignored. Nooooow! GO!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie! A classic!
Review: What can I say? Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a classic. It's so funny, expect to laugh a LOT. The movie even criticizes itself, with air speed velocities of a swallow (the explanation of how they got coconuts). I don't know anyone who doesn't like this movie. Get the DVD! The VHS isn't widescreen, so titles of the chapters are cut off (I've watched the VHS, it cuts off a lot). Check it out!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I liked it but........

THE DVD:
The picture ucked and the sound was scartchy but the speical features were funnier than the movie itself.

IN CON CON IM DONE:
buy it but not the others.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: so overrated
Review: whiny voices and annoying intonation; why do they talk like that? and the whole thing is way too silly, the jokes are too unpredictable, there's no plot, just a collection of little low budget sketches that are immensely pointless. I really don't get it, why is this movie so popular? It is definintely not for everyone.
Doctor strangelove and young frankenstein are comedy movies that deserve their reputation and status, as for this one, it really pales in comparison and it seems so amateurish and jovenile. Kids in a highschool could've come up with something better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holy hand-grenade of brilliance!!
Review: This film is, without reserve, the best movie I have ever seen (and I don't state that lightly). The moral, political, religious, and philosophical undertones combined with the epitome of wit produce a film that not only supports a cult of followers, but demands respect and comic fervor as well. All that aside, it's absolutely brilliant and hilarious. This film follows Arthur and his knights of the round table as they embark on their Holy quest for the grail. Misadventure after misadventure befalls them, and soon the entire farcical journey is legend in itself. This is the most brilliant film of all-time, so do yourself a great favor and get this one. The special features are wonderful, you'll spend hours and hours laughing and watching this again.

Rating: 5 stars
