Summary: Wonderful Movie!
Review: "The Grail" is episodic, silly, and thoroughly fun. Much like their "Life of Brian", this film lampoons not only the source material, but the people of time as well. No one escapes unscathed, and fans of Monty Python will giggle all the way through.

Summary: wowsers
Review: It's a great movie. It is amazingly funny since Monty Python are known for their skits and this is a full length feature. It's BBC meets MGM. Medieveal times like one has never seen before nor will ever see again.

Summary: There should definatly be more stars!
Review: So, where to begin, i could say 'this is a classic' and 'best movie ever' BUT I WONT! This film is the film that is funny to everyman on the planet. Monty python at there best and for me, it doesnt get any better than that!The sketches become a film without you even noticing, i have seen it many many times and i see something new every single time. What makes python great is you never know what they are thinking so everytime you see a scene you see it in a different way. The nights who say ni are perhaps the most famous, but lets not forget 'roger the shrubber' or the gorilla turning the pages of the book... the black night... the three headed knight... the professor... or the wedding... i could do the whole film right here for you but you know what, i wont, go and buy the DVD, ESPECIALLY if you havent seen the film, where have you been?

Summary: Not just a cult film! It's a classic!
Review: I have never heard of Monty Python in the early eighties until I saw the "Holy Grail", I did not expect it to be a funny movie at all and was delighted to see how funny it was. I like it over the "The Life of Brian" which I had to watch two or three times to get all the jokes. I think the reason is I used to read tales of King Arthur as a child but didn't know much about the bible or Jesus. As for the technical specs of the DVD I would give a three only because of the picture quality and sound isn't so good and has no special features which is common with DVD's now. (When are they coming out with a critertion edition?) Anyway, it will always be in my top ten list of movies. I consider it Monty Python's "Blazing Saddles". I don't know why it Leonard Maltin considers it for hard core fans only. My Dad used to show his ninth grade Geography class this movie when they studied Europe. The kids understand most of the movie and they like it. (Though the average kid doesn't get all of it). And I became a fan of Monty Python from watching this one movie. Just wanted to add that I got the Special Edition. It's Awesome!The Lego scene and the Japanese version is funny. What they did was translated from English to Japanese, dubbed it into Japanese and translated back into English. Though all the tranlataions the script changes. (It's two scenes not the whole movie.)

Summary: Possibly the funniest movie ever made...
Review: a true classic of bizarre and unpredictable British humor. What manner of demented minds thought up things like the knights who (until recently) said "Ni!," the rude Frenchman who taunts Arthur with such barbs as "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry!," the large wooden rabbit, and the scintillating logic of the witch trial scene ("If she weighs the same as a duck, then she's made of wood, and therefore....A WITCH!"). This is one of those flicks that just gets better each time you watch it. I rate it the best of the Python feature movies.

Summary: This is a really funny movie and I highly reccomend it!
Review: This movie is a laugh riot from beginning to finish. I also reccomend along with this movie, all the other Monty Python movies. If you like british humour and really goofed up sketches, this is the movie for you.

Summary: Magnificently brilliant insanity!
Review: Given all that we know about the legends of King Arthur, the Holy Grail, and Knights Who Say Ni, it's about time someone crammed them all together in one movie. Not to mention some very nice shrubbery. Well, back in 1975, the lunatics that were Monty Python decided to destory any credibility these legends might have. This brilliant farce is the stuff of legend itself. What with Wizards called Tim, killer bunny rabbits, and one knight that just doesn't know when to quit. If you've never seen this film, shame on you. It should be required viewing for every member of the human race.

Summary: By far the best comedy i've ever seen
Review: For being a low budget film, this one is really good. The classic Monty Python actors come together the funniest rendition of King Arthur and his K-nig-hits. It was filled with comedy, a funny story, weird twists, french men, and a killer rabbit. The only thing that I didn't understand (well not too well anyway) was the ending. Other than that, It was excellent and well worth your time.

Summary: 4 STARS (actually :) )
Review: ...i gave it one star so it would help to even up the number for all those collage kids who over-rate this movie so much...Now for the movie itself:= i'd read & read tons of peope who had said this was the "funniest movie ever made"..(which its not BTW) i do love Monty Python..so i bought it expecting a very very good comedy (Mel Brooks,or Zucker-Brothers standards perhaps)....& the first time i seen it (i was honestly wanting to love it)i was extremely disapointed overall- it was funny enough when the python cast was on screen, but when others were thrown into the picture (mostly scenes in the boring castles) it became rather cheap...& speaking about "cheap"= one thing that hurt this movie a lot (for me) was the picture-quality.. this picture was FOGGY,FOGGY FOGGY !! (not to mention that in the actual scenes of the movie they used FOG everywhere they went as a scenic prop)...most of it is GRAINY as well..if they had made this with a different "look" it would of been much more enjoyable..but the color was saturated it was very bright & the whole thing looked DULL when putting up with the Fogginess (the grain isn't that annoying, but my god the fog is it makes it look so saturated & DULL...........as for the much critisized "ending"= its not bad at all, it was an original & mean-spirited way to end the silly thing (& it showed that it wasn't taking itself too seriously)-..i sort of liked it....this is by no means the funniest movie ever made (not even close)>>>BUT it is funny on its own terms...& some funny scenes (which should of been carried out further & done better) keep it afloat & afterwards it just sort of lies there like a cheap, likable movie.....i did laugh out loud at the "run away-run away" scenes & the taunting frenchman,the Black knight, the killer rabbit, & the part where they threw the cows & other animals at them off the castletop..& there were some other amusing scenes (Knights who say Nee was funny but has been way over-rated)...the animations were not funny (if they were intended to be)...there were lots of dumb misfired gags that bogged it down as well. ...overall it is a very OVER-RATED comedy thats very original & likable (although not always funny)..lots of things ruin it from being a great movie (which it could of been had it been done better)..i watched it a second time & i felt about the same about it..but it does give some good scenes & is well worth renting...(the other python movies are more amusing & better done IMO)..i wanted to love it, but its just been too Over-rated by all its "fans".its a fairly good movie....

Summary: FANTASTIC film. WOEFUL dvd.
Review: THG is classic Python with laughs a minute and insightful satire a-plenty. That said, let me emphasize that the low rating I give this DVD has nothing to do with the film itself. However, how the marketers can get by calling this a "Deluxe" anything is beyond me. Not only are there no extras (forgivable), the quality of the transfer is atrocious. Sure, it looks better than my VHS copy, and for that I'm grateful. But there was no attempt made to clean up simply things like dust and fiber from the print. In addition the sound is mastered at a volume that is too low to do much with. Any other disc I watch, my system rattles the room. With this disc, the volume was up to 11, and a room of 5 people had trouble hearing the shouting. Very disappointing.
