Summary: Great movie - ridiculous special features
Review: I assume anyone reading this review has already seen the movie. The movie is damn funny. Now the Special Edition DVD, that's a different story. This DVD is filled with so many "extras" that you'll be pooping bonus material for weeks. However, the bonus material is complete fluff. It is not funny like the movie, just plain dumb. It reminds me of that line, "the bad news is all we have to eat for breakfast is horse [dung], but the good news is there's plenty of it."Personally I think they are trying to make fun of all the other special edition DVDs out there. I guess that's kind of funny but not nearly as funny as humourous bonus footage could've been. I gave this DVD 4 stars: 5 for the movie and -1 for the [dumb] DVD special features. So in conclusion, my advice is: BUY THIS DVD FOR THE MOVIE ITSELF.

Summary: I fart in your general direction!
Review: Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a silly film. Very silly indeed. But it's also one of the funniest films ever made. The Python's first movie, Holy Grail re-juvinated the Pythons, and they went on to do another season of their hit T.V show Monty Python's Flying Circus and the movies "The Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life". While their later movies are equally halarious, this one stands out beacuse of the sheer amount of gags; the black knight's battle with Arthur, king of the Britons ("Come back here, i'll bite your legs off!"), the coconut discussions, the almost-visit to the castle of Camelot and the classic scene where Arthur argues with a peasant: "Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system! Violence inherent in the system!" There's the knights who say "Ni!", the french tauntings to Arthur and his companion: "I fart in your general direction!", and the final battle scene that's one of the most clever set-pieces put together by the Pythons. An unpretentious laugh-fest that's one of my all-time favourites. Classic comedy.

Summary: SO VERY, VERY, VERY FUNNY!!!
Review: Really, what more needs to be said about one of the funniest "cult" movies of all time? For those of you who have not seen the movie yet, what the heck are you waiting for, an invitation? Seriously, anyone who spent any time on a college campus over the past 20+ years probably has the majority of this movie committed to memory. The quotable lines basically start from the very beginning ("you've got two empty halves of a coconut and are bangin' 'em together") to the riotous ending ("your mother was a hampster and your father smelled of elderberrys"). This is planned, organized kaos at the very best. I highly, highly recommend it....oops, now I've said it, I've said it again....

Summary: Comedy? True. Epic...
Review: In it's way, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is not only a gem of comic brilliance, but also can, at times, evoke the sort of reactions you'd expect from Brave Heart or Lord of the Rings.
No, hear me out.
A scene can start off on a moment of abject, wonderful absurdidty. Then, in the blink of an eye, the nonsense is ignored. As the music swells, the heros enter an enchanted boat that bears them away to the castle... A-a-augh. Arthur kneels to thank the almighty Lord... and a sheep (or the skin of one, at least) is fired onto himself and his noble follower.
Behold, the gift of Python. Chapman in paticular has the gift to play the most absurd scene with utter conviction. Sometimes, it's good to play it silly, but someone should allways be playing it straight.
This can be seen frequently through out the movie: another example, outside the castle Anthrax ("Yes, it's not a very good name"), when Sir Galahad (Palin) beats against the door. "Open the door!" Or the opening. Or everything from the final taunt to the entrance of the police at the end, in one of cimema's great anti-climaxes.
In closing, few dissagree that the Holy Grail is, if not The Holy Grail of comedy, certainly one of the great comedic films. However, it would be interesting for some wily editor to splice together footage to create Monty Python and the Holy Grail-Epic.
Because the movie fills itself with dramatic nothingness, as only great comedy can.

Summary: Great movie, hilarious extras
Review: If you like monty python, you won't be disappointed by the extras--they're great. If you don't, obviously you shouldn't bother getting the film. Simple as that.

Summary: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Review: This is SO funny! I love it! My family and I are such fans of this movie that we know all the words to the Camalot song, a.k.a. Knights of the Round Table! We have entire scenes memorized! This movie is about King Arthur's quest to find the Holy Grail. He is joined by Sir Lancelot, Sir Robin, Sir Galahad and the rest as they search throughout England for a holy cup. Their quest begins when King Arthur has finally rounded up his knights of the Round Table and they are given an assignment from the Lord. Arthur and his knights encounter a taunting French guard, knights that say "Ne" and lots more! Filled with funny songs and catchy lines, this is one movie you won't want to miss!!!!

Summary: THE STUPIDEST MOVIE EVER
Review: This has got to be the worst movie I have ever watched. Granted, some parts are funny, but this movie just goes over the edge. One of my favorite movies is Spaceballs. It knows where to draw the line; The Holy Grail does not. If I had to sit through that much stupidity ever again in my life I would probably kill myself ten minutes into the movie.

Summary: 40 stars!! WOW!!!
Review: To those who do not like this film I say STUFF IT...
This movie is a masterpieace of British Comedy. There are wonderful and unforgettable lines like "Bring out your dead" and "The knights who say nee". It is loaded to the gills with humor and wit from the genius minds that brought you classics like "The Life of Brian" and "A Fish called Wanda". That is just the movie itself now with the DVD you have a whole new level added to the experience.
