Monty Python and the Holy Grail review

In watching comedies one has to factor in the humor injected. Is it slapstick, based on dialogue, gestures, set pieces or wardrobe (or lack thereof) used? You get all of these with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Even before the film starts, you see the unique wit used by the director with regards to the use of subtitles. The people responsible were sacked, and for those responsible for sacking have been sacked. Starting with the end credits was another distinctive idea. The films had many uproarious moments: The Black Knight (John Cleese) slaughtered by King Arthur (Graham Chapman), he mentioned that “it’s only a flesh wound” after his arms have been cut off. Prince Herbert (Terry Jones) thought that his father was talking about the curtains, in spite of the lands he was pointin...

Sidesplitting humor...

African or European? Yes ladies and gents, this is the question you should be asking yourself: African or European? From the moment this hilarious low budget film begins on their pointless task to the point where King Arthur and Sir Bedivere get arrested for murder, you will be laughing until you wet yourself. Then you will be laughing at the person next to you who has just wet their pants. This follows the quest for the Knights of the Round Table, and after being told off by God, the quest for the Holy Grail. Although the plot line is a bit mixed, the characters are developed so quickly you don't realize that it happened. The acting is somewhat woeful, but the sheer stupidity is enough to keep anyone confused.Director Terry Gilliam has dipped deep into the vaults of time and of course th...

It Was... Okay

Gosh, you know, I really wanted to like this movie because it's so silly and it doesn't try to impress anyone. But I just can't quite recommend it because the humour nowadays is so different; most people would just think it's stupid and pointless. Even though I had a good time, I thought it got too random at times and I even got confused. The story did not make sense, which I learned to accept less than half-way through the picture, but there's no excuse for it to feel like it's dragging on especially when it's only about an hour and thirty minutes long. I guess it's partly because I'm not particularly fond of slapstick comedies. Still, there were many things about this film that I thought was original. For instance, the knights that say "Ni," the tapping of coconuts to compensate for the...
