Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) directs this wild, furious chronicle of the stories of Baron Munchausen, pulling the boundary of 1989 special goods record to move us such sights as a equine widely separated in half and using around in dual parts, and a hulk Robin Williams with his head drifting off his shoulders. Basically, this is a provide for Gilliam fans, as the nutritious thought of the movie runs out of steam, and manic appetite alone keeps the movement going. Casual viewers competence find it vapid after awhile. There have been good tools for associate Python Eric Idle, as well as Sting, Alison Steadman, and Uma Thurman as a dazzlingly pleasing Venus on a half-shell.

If I could give this no stars then I would. It was utter rubbish from start to end. Although I have liked Terry Gilliams work this has to be the biggest waste of time ever.

what kind of movie is this? i put the VHS into my machine, expecting a swashbuckling adventure, and i get this! instead of swashbuckling action, i get some 5-year old fantasy about some wacko and his silly sidekicks. and worst of all, one of the leading characters is a little girl, not a day older than 8. and her reaction when the baron wants to quit is so stereotypical and contrived. “you CAHNT quit!” “i don’t like you anymore”! how Disneyish! instead of a dashing hero swordfighting with 20 bad guys, i got a weirdo who runs 150 miles an hour. instead of thrills, excitement and humor, i got an old man travelling to the moon ina hot air balloon(come on!) and meeting people with detatchable heads, and some white faced dude screaming “I am your elephant of joy!” oh for Pete’s sakes! there are some OK scenes near the end, but it’s not worth your time or money, and you should just go rent Mask Of Zorro again instead.

Like the Dinosaur Collector’s Edition DVD, this one won’t play on my Pioneer Elite DV-37 player. It runs for about 10 minutes and then just stops.

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!

I was expecting this to be really good after all the rave reviews; and no, it wasn’t terrible; but it’s not that great. It’s way to weird and not very funny. This is definitely a fantasy movie, but I really didn’t sense any magic in it. I thought that Labyrinth was a much better movie. If you’re a big Terry Gilliam fan, you might want to get this. I personally like 12 monkeys and Time Bandits way more than this.
