Summary: Coconutty
Review: If you're a true fan of Monty Python, this is one movie you'll definitely want to own as it has all the trademark qualities of Python silliness and wit. However, if you're only a casual Python fan then this movie may not appeal to you.

The movie opens with a hilarious conversation about coconuts between King Arthur and some guards on a castle rampart. From there, things get even sillier.

Another thing that makes this film fun to watch is the skillful animation of Terry Gilliam. The cartoon segment where King Arthur and his men encounter God is especially funny as is the scene where Arthur and his men run away from the dreaded black beast.

Essentially, THG is a compilation of funny skits that are loosely held together by a contrived plot. THG is one movie that will definitely keep you in stitches but it will also let you down as the ending is rather weak--to say the least!

Having seen this film several times over the past two decades, it seems to me that THG was more than the Python gang could handle. This film has an aura of impatience about it and it seems that the Python troupe were glad to get it done and over with. In light of this, this film probably deserves 2 1/2 stars due to its lack of continuity. Nevertheless, this film does show the comedic genius of Monty Python and I would have to say it's definitely worth seeing at least once.

Summary: Simply the BEST of Monty Python!
Review: King Arthur! The legend of the Holy Grail! Stories that by themselves reach out to our imaginations ... then comes along Monty Python to turn it all into swiss cheese (or perhaps brie). Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle and Michael Palin all do a superb job as Arthur and the Knights (pronounced "K-nnnnn-iggits!" by the French) of the Round Table running about the countryside on their quest for that most holy of holies ... the Holy Grail! The movie is full of witty banter, insightful quips on government (and the people involved), and of course the usually delightful sexual inuendo that only the MP troupe can spin off with the straightest of faces. This is the cream of MP's crop of equally delightful movies! Buy it! Or we shall taunt you a second time!

Summary: Funniest Movie of All Time
Review: This has got to be among the funniest movies I have ever seen; perhaps even the funniest. The humor is dry in points, and sopping with sarcasm; the wordplay is fantastic; it does have a bit of irreverance, however.

This movie makes me want to pay 9 pence for picking up dead relatives, and bang a cat on my laundry!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Sillay Sillay
Review: So thus, I thrust. Oop's cut ya arm off...Tis but a scratch, right? You've had worse? Only a flesh wound? Thats jolly. ______

I was so glad when I was introduced to this movie a year ago! It is just th'illy. Onwards we go in quest for the holy grail, only to be cut short by crazy forest giants, a wizard named "Tim", three headed people swollowers (and other swallows), and a bridge keeper with three questions. . .among other things. King arthur, an un-elected king,(Because no one voted for him), has gone on a quest with his knights, and you are very much invited. So, storm the castle and save the damsel in distress that killed your trusty horse (not really your horse, but you get the idea) (Not really a horse at all, but someone banging coconuts together, carrying your gear, you get the idea.)(Not really your gear, but....not even really your coconuts......thi'lly.) So come along with acres of fans in search for the grail. And beware of Camelot...'tis a thi'lly place! ***** (Sorry If my review is slack, but heck there is too much to talk about!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Slam-Bam Cult Classic!
Review: It is one of the most quoted movies in history. The scenes and comedy evoked by the small ensemble of comedic genius's are simply brilliant. MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL is one of the funniest movies ever made. It tells the tale of King Arthur, who is searching for knights to join him at the round table. He assembles them, and then receives a message from GOD to seek the holy grail. Thus begins the quest that will have you rolling off your seat with laughter! From the Knights Who Say 'NEE', the three headed giant, the nymphs of the castle Anthrax, to the silly insulting Frenchman, this movie embodies the funniest situations ever to be captured on film. The bad boys of the hit British comedy show are all together to give the funniest performances of their careers. They are John Cleese(Academy Award nominee:Best Screenplay A Fish Called Wanda), Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and Michael Palin. Each man plays an incredible array of characters, showing their truly great talents. Terry Gilliam(12 Monkeys,The Fisher King)and Terry Jones(Erik the Viking, MP and the Life of Brian) direct the film with a masterful stroke, and is also an actor. The best lines in cinema are said here, so don't miss it!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: My very first DVD.
Review: This is my first DVD review. It's about a really funny movie that(supposedly)took place in England 932 A.D. As King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table go on a quest from God to find the holy grail. On the way the run into a Black Knight, taunting Frenchmen, a killer rabbit, a three-headed knight, a castle of lonely women, the Black Beast of Arrgghh, a Bridge of Death and the infamous Knights who say "Ni!"

All right, I'll rate this according to my DVD scale(1 the lowest, 5 being the highest):

The movie: 5. Chock full of hysterical scenes, it redeems the somewhat disappointing ending.

Picture and sound: 3. Not superb, but it was made a long time ago.

Extra features: 3. Languages and subtitles. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen trailer was good. They could have used a Holy Grail trailer though.

My final rating:: 9/10. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best and Most Brilliant Comedy
Review: I think that "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is one of the best comedy movies ever. The characters are awesome and it's a very enjoyable movie. Now, there are those that don't find Python comedy funny, but if you do, this movie will tickle you silly. Ahh - it's wonderful - I never get tired of it!
