Monty Python and the Holy Grail

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 lack of real horses, the prince that doesn't want to get married who was believed to be a damsel in distress by another knight... and many more. If one is interested in watching this movie even for just a little bit, I will not stop that person because there were good things about it. At the same time, I won't recommend this picture to just about anyone, unless I know that their sense of humour is just like the movie.
