Product Description

In this fantastic voyage through time and space from Terry Gilliam, a boy named Kevin (Craig Warnock) escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarfs. Armed with a map stolen from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson), they plunder treasure from Napoleon (Ian Holm) and Agamemnon (Sean Connery)-but the Evil Genius (David Warner) is watching their every move. Featuring a darkly playful script by Gilliam and his Monty Python cohort Michael Palin (who also appears in the film), Time Bandits is at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire of technology gone awry.

The adventures of Kevin & Randall.

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have seen the movie many times in the past.
Hey guys if your looking for something more interesting or something you won't find in any of the Back to the future movies, I urge you to check this one out. They're called dwarfs in the movie, in real life they're Midgets. They're so funny when they argue. One of my favorite parts of the movie is the end when the OR I M I A song is playing! & the supreme being when he appeared, after Kevin's bedroom became a hallway. The supreme beings voice echoing like it was. That was awesome! Sean Connery is good in this movie as well, here for a little while before Kevin fell from the time hole Sean battles a huge guy with a big mask. He just about had him whipped, broke his sword in half when he stepped on it. I guess Kevin gave him the right advantage. Kevin & Randall whoever he is in real life had lots of exciting adventures. I'm sure giving each one up and moving on had to be hard. & they were on a quest for the fortress of ultimate darkness or just trying to escape the supreme being.
Randall finally got use to Kevin after not wanting to put up with him. I liked all the characters in the movie.
& the evil one how he faced the knights & cowboys at the end. Doing what he can to hang onto the map. Nobody knows for sure exactly what happens to Kevin's parents in the end when a piece of the evil was accidentally sent back with Kevin. Are his parents dead or alive? Or are they just in another time some place. With nowhere for Kevin to go now would the supreme being ever consider letting him join back up with his friends? I've thought about it before, why they just didn't make a sequel. A second Time bandits movie.
I liked the fortress of ultimate darkness too. Those guys aside the evil one must have worn plastic during the movie, they looked like they were going to do some painting. It looks like this movie was filmed in different parts of the world. Several different places. Where Sean Connery was kind of looked like Egypt. But I can't be sure of it. (Sean Connery) has 2 different roles in the movie to play, first where he meets Kevin & Kevin tries to persuade him into letting him stay & live there in the village with him
wherever that is, & at the end of the movie as one of the firefighters. They all ran into unusual things, not to mention dropping in on Shelley Duvall & her boyfriend, she'd roll her eyes back & that's when the midgets fell on them. That's what I thought was very funny. Hey Randall? Why not tell those couple gee guys sorry to interrupt love & romance! I thought whoever played the giant had to of been a large person in real life. The giant in this movie tops most of the giants I've seen in other movies. This one must have been almost 1000 feet tall.
When I got it on blue ray I was disappointed with just one thing, no subtitles on this disc. Why? I feel like the producers or the distribution place whoever it is that's responsible should take this matter more seriously. I think that's what all of them need to do. Everything else appears to be fine.
I've always enjoyed this movie. They travel through time yes, the only difference is they don't need a time machine or nothing like that. Just a simple map. & a magic door appears, & you end up almost anywhere. These guys don't really control their destination. They just travel!
I have enjoyed this movie so many times I can't keep count over how many times I've watched it in the past. That's one way to warp through time going through a dark doorway that just appears out of thin air. I've seen other movies & shows about time traveling.
To me in this movie this is one heck of way to travel! & it is too bad it had to end at the end of the movie. You know what I think, the supreme being should have just duplicated the map & kept the original one & allowed them to continue to travel through time. Me? I love to go exploring! Traveling through time is a Blast!!!

Six rowdy dwarfs & a small boy bounce around in time in this amusing revisionist view of history. Criterion Blu-ray is just OK.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

BOTTOM LINE: Monty Python fans will almost certainly enjoy the hijinks, but Sci-Fi and Fantasy film aficionados will also discover much to interest and amuse in this Brit-flavored adventure. TIME BANDITS is one of those films that everyone should see at least once. 4 STARS

THE STORY: Six dwarfs who have become bored working for countless eons as gardeners for The Supreme Being steal his map of doorways in time and plan to use it to become filthy rich. A young boy is inadvertently caught up in their scheme. Will he be able to return home? After adventuring thru the millennia with the half dozen rambunctious half pints, (and realizing how truly vacuous life was with his bland, stodgy parents), will he even want to?

THOUGHTS: One of director Terry Gilliam's more interesting films. A few Monty Python cameos add to the fun. Plot is fairly free form and those not used to Gilliam's scattershot stream-of-consciousness style may find it all rather confusing. It actually gets better with repeated viewings, as do most of his works. All of the actors here are fun, most especially David Warner as "Ultimate Evil," along with his wonderfully dopey minions. I don't think I've ever seen Sean Connery look so relaxed on screen, and then of course there's the always unflappable Sir Ralph Richardson, who makes for a delightful Supreme Being. Fans of Pythonesque humor will find more to mine from this film that others, but there's pretty much something for everyone to chuckle at here. Surprisingly, it's fairly inoffensive and safe for the entire family; a rarity with Gilliam's work. The effects are pretty good, given the modest budget, and still manage to charm even 35+ years after the fact.

THE BLU-RAY: Criterion gives us a pretty good hi-def release of TIME BANDITS. That's not to say that this presentation is perfect. Far from it. There are instances of dirt & debris scattered throughout the film, albeit none too terribly distracting. The focus isn't as sharp as I had hoped (or as it should be). Also, many of the darker shots & scenes in the film exhibit a disappointing amount of crush (video noise). This is a decent transfer, but a full-on frame-by-frame restoration would have been preferable, especially given Criterion's always steep asking price. I bought mine used, so I feel I got a good deal.

Great escapist fun!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023

This is one of those films--rather like the classic Warner Brothers cartoons--that you can watch with children who will find it delightful while there are subtle things going on the kids won't notice, but the adults will. For example, King Agamemnon and queen Clytemnestra (probably her, they've taken liberties with that classic tale) clearly have a deadly power struggle going on, but this will sail over the heads of children. And I love the sound track, which was partly written by ex-Beatle George Harrison! Reality is so grim, sometimes you need some cheerful nonsense!

Time Bandits 4K UHD/BLU-RAY CRITERION COLLECTION

Reviewed in Canada on August 29, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is a very nice transfer of the classic Terry Gilliam Film "Time Bandits". This Criterion collection contains 2 discs. First disc is the 4K UHD presentation, the second disc is the Blu-Ray presentation. One of the Extras included is a 1.5 hour long interview with Terry Gilliam filmed in Iceland. It also comes with a 13.5X18 Inch fold out "TIME MAP" which is double sided. The reverse side is a very detailed write up about Time Bandits. See my attached photos for visual details of this Criterion Collection release.

4K UHD Criterion Collection (June 2023)

Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2023

This is by far the best this film has ever looked for home presentation. The 4K transfer breathes new life into the film with richer, fuller colours and fine details previously lost or obscured in the DVD release.

Criterion rarely disappoints collectors and this is another great title in their catalog. You won't be disappointed.
