Summary: Disapponting sound quality
Review: Picture quality good but sound was disappontin

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great movie, lackluster transfer
Review: I must agree with the viewer from Phoenix. I have several Criterion laserdiscs, including their Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and this is my first DVD from them. This does not do the film justice in any way. The transfer is riddled with artifacts from a presumably aged master, and the sound has distinctly noticeable dips, much like turning the volume knob quickly. This is painfully evident in George Harrison's song that plays over the end credits; that song is on no other CD I've seen, which is a shame because it's a very Beatles-y tune. I'm suprised Criterion let this out. My DVD of Dolemite from Image Entertainment is of comparable quality, and their production budget is generally pretty low compared to Criterion's. Is Brazil this bad?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A wasteful bit of nothing
Review: I firsrt saw this movie in the early 80s and really liked it. Somehow in the past 15+ years it changed. :-) My wife and I bought the DVD and found the movie to be way less than wonderful. While the basis for the film is great, the details are really lacking. Save your money and buy something else.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful
Review: I have watched many movies over the past 45 years and this is easily the worst. I've never been so bored. If there was a plot, I couldn't find it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brain candy for the mentally deranged!
Review: This movie is the perfect blend of fantasy, comedy and action. The comedic timing is excellent, the dialogue is witty and the slapstick is inspired, reminding one of the BEST Saturday morning cartoons. The Robin Hood scene alone gives you your money's worth. All in all, a good movie both kids and (demented) adults can enjoy.

P.S. My favorite dwarf is Fidget.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I LOVE YOU TERRY, MICHAEL, and JOHN, but not my fav. movie
Review: I am a totally devoted MP fan, and the crew and their movies are my #1 "obsession." However, I was rather disappointed by the lack of appearances by Michael Palin and John Cleese. From the way it was advertised, you would think that Cleese was starring in it, when his part was really no longer than a few minutes! Same with Palin. They were the best though!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You already know if you need this or not!
Review: With a video scrapbook, strange yet amusing trailer, interview that spans the disc as well as the original movie... well... it's simply Time Bandits as it should be. A wonderfully creative movie with all the right touches.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie still after almost 20 years.
Review: Great DVD except the "matted" widescreen format, not a true widescreen film but lots of bonus stuff on the criterion collection. David Warner always plays a great villan. THORN 1999

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watch out for Widescreen!!!
Review: I'm a long time fan of Gilliam and the Time Bandits and highly recommend this film. The widescreen version isn't actually widescreen. It's the T.V. formatted version with black bars covering the top and bottom of the screen. Instead of more picture, it's less picture! Caveat emptor!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: time is a great adventure
Review: This show is excellent. The story is one in a million. Time bandits is a must see.
