Time Bandits - 2 1/2 stars out of 5 stars


Released in 1981 and running 116 minutes this film is like a acid trip from the 60's.Bad music from George Harrison and half of Monty Python + a movie LOST in time.The acting is boorish and the plot silly.Maybe it worked in 81 as everyone was still high from the 60's but now it doesn't translate at all and dwarves??? If you want a flash back to a different time and values maybe,but now,no.Trailer URL follows pix and a IMDB summary below.2 and 1/2 stars for what could have been.

Kevin, an imaginative child, goes on a time-travelling adventure with a bunch of treasure-hunting dwarves, who have "borrowed" a map to the Universe's time holes from The Supreme Being. Written by Stewart M. Clamen <clamen@cs.cmu.edu>
