Before the time of Harry Potter, a great experience for children & adults. The director, Terry Gilliam, takes you on an adventure with historical figures throughout time! ### ⭐⭐⭐ "Oh, Benson, you are so free from the ravages of intelligence!" *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2010* I like that line. I use it on people I know. Well, anyway, I decided to sit down and watch this film today to see if it's worthy of a re-purchase in the future, in the Blu-Ray format. If I didn't watch it today, I would have probably made the mistake of just going ahead and buying it again because I like films of the Sci-Fi fantasy genre. But, as movies get older and older, and we've watched them several times over the past 20 plus years, we begin to realize that we know every next scene, and we learn that it wasn't as great as when we were unprepared for the next scene. This movie has some great dark mid-eval scenery, but Terry Gilliam is famous for that. I still appreciated Terry Gilliam's work at this time, because he is surely extremely strange and bizarre to me lately ("Tideland", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "12 Monkeys"). Not like his earlier Monty Python days where I appreciate a single step or two into the strange and bizarre. He's way weird to me know.Anyway, "Time Bandits" is a semi-child fantasy that gets less interesting every time I watch it again, so I may or may not be repurchasing this as a Blu-Ray DVD in the future because, although I'd like to see it in a more realistic visual high definition experience, it's still the strange story that Terry Gilliam wrote back then. My favorite scene in the film is when they were in the cage and they cut string from the support rope of the suspended cage and made a few ropes to make an interesting, well calculated, escape from the suspended cage. But, when we get nearer to the end of the film, we gotta wonder, did Terry Gilliam have this whole story written before he started filming, or did he just start adding things because he came to a stand-still of where to go next?He probably thought, "Let me think here, just to throw something bizarre and off-the-wall here, let me have Randall bust through the wall with a Sherman tank from the 1940's. Let me see what that suggests to me so that I can finally work on an end to this movie sometime within the next 15 minutes or so. I'm out of ideas about how to keep this story interesting so let me try to slap things together so I can get this semi-bored audience on their way home soon."I guess what I'm saying here is the story was sort of interesting when it started. I enjoy it once we get past the Napoleon part, and from there forward. But it started to lose it's charm when "Evil" got the map and now they must work on a reclamation and a conclusion.It's funny (and even Terry Gilliam claimed with a tongue in cheek approval) that the critics said that the best part of this movie was the ending. It's not the the ending was great (because it certainly wasn't). What was meant by the "great ending" statement is that they were happy that it was finally over. HA! HA! Monty Python fans ought to appreciate that the critics statement was misinterpreted too.Anyway, this is probably a movie that I have on DVD that would probably look great on Blu-ray Hi-Definition, but it is certainly not one of the first Blu-Ray discs that I would run out and buy. I made an expense vow that I plan to stick to. I will only replace my absolute favorite movies (which are about 60 of my 500+ movies) at any price under $30. But, anything else that I already have on DVD that's not incredibly fantastic, I will only buy the new Blu-ray version if it's $9.99 or less. I have to initiate a discipline for myself so I don't go wasting my money on replacing movies that I'll just watch again, once more maybe, and then have it just sit on my DVD shelf as a part of a proud collection that may never be watched again anytime soon.I'm definitely going to be very selective of how I buy Blu-Ray discs. I've bought just 8 in the past year and I still don't have a Blu-Ray disc player. I'm just not that anxious to buy a Blu-ray disc player although I know I've bought some Blu-Ray discs where I'd like to someday see a better quality picture of a film that I truly enjoy.. When I eventually own about 25 or 30 Blu-Ray discs, I may then go out and buy my first Blu-Ray disc player. I must maintain discipline on my Blu-Ray disc expenses! It's very important that I live this way for my movie library. Because, before you know it, they will eventually come out with something better than Blu-ray, like 1500p resolution. You know, that's not too far-fetched to imagine. Blu-Ray is simply not the end to improved video quality. I hope you all know that."I am the Supreme Being, I'm not entirely dim." That's another great line from this movie. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/9942937-time-bandits](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/9942937-time-bandits) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
