Review: I want to find the ORIGINAL Baron Muenchausen movie, made in 1944. The contemporary re-make is a piece of junk in comparison with the original.The original movie was reissued and was available for a while, a couple of years ago. I viewed it (from a video rental store), but I missed the opportunity to buy it then and now, suddenly, it is not available anymore. PLEASE, TRY TO LOCATE IT FOR ME!

Summary: The best movie ever!!!!!!!!!
Review: I seen this movie when I was 10 and was totally confused but also intrigued. Now 8 years later I can finally take in the movie and its zany philosophies quite easily. This movie has everything you can ask for in a movie. Great acting by Neville, Idle, and "The King of the Moon" Robin Williams. The visuals are better than any Star Wars special effects bonanza. And the story seems neverending, taking Baron and friends on adventures that people can only dream of. As long as you are not a total skeptic you will be pleased and inspired by Terry Gilliam's masterpiece. Buy at all costs.

Summary: Heartfelt but killed by its own extravagance
Review: God love Terry Gilliam: a brilliant moviemaker and animator whose heart is always in the right place. Terry intended this as a homage/tribute to the brilliant Czech animator Karel Zeman, whose earlier version of the Munchausen fable is still the definitive one. This version, though well-meant, is done in by too much budget and too many 'Spot-The-Star' moments. Anybody looking to really exercise that 'sense-of-wonder' should hunt down Zeman's version: despite its poor characterizations, mainly post-synch sound and general narrative torpor, it's truly unforgettable and the reason Gilliam became an animator in the first place. Though Gilliam's 'Baron' is clever and generally watchable, it too suffers from narrative torpor - which is harder to excuse with a $40- million budget.

Summary: A visual feast; a comedic glory.
Review: I just want to say that this is an almost perfect movie. Some people won't "get it"--but if you like surrealism, mythology, fairy tales and English humor, you'll love it. Visually exquisite. Great acting.

Summary: Another Winner From The Brilliant Terry Gilliam
Review: Although this film falls slightly short of the artistic triumphs Gilliam achieved with "Brazil" and "The Fisher King," it's still an amazing spectacle. An imaginative, whimsical tale that will please adults and children alike, and a must-see for fans of Gilliam and/or Python.

Summary: For those of us who wish to keep our childhood
Review: You should not watch this movie if you want profundity or sweeping morality. This is a movie for people who feel like having a good laugh and a happy ending with their comedy. I just happened to see this movie one day on television and it caught me up in the wild story immediately and held me until the end, while I wondered what wild thing would happen next.

Summary: A perfect film.
Review: Simply put, 'Baron Munchausen' is masterpiece. It is a beautiful movie to watch, or better yet, experience. It's an exhilirating work, filled with wonderful images,madcap action sequences, vivid performances (especially Robin Williams as the king of the mork-oops, sorry-the moon) and a lush musical score.Gillliam's 'Baron' is perfection.

Summary: I am so glad this film is now on DVD.
Review: This is my favourite movie of all time, and I've based my life around its philosiphies. I have never seen more imagination crammed into a two-hour film.

Summary: a trip
Review: what a movie! it's got war battles, space travel, a giant hot air balloon made from ladies' underwear, uma thurman, what more can you ask for?? very entertaining, an adventure...(uma, i drool for you!) Not as good as Gilliam's other works, but a good movie nonetheless; if you don't buy it you should at least rent it!
