Advantages: Surreal, fantasy, random, hilarious. Disadvantages: The ending still annoys me!
SYNOPSIS:
A mish-mash of Arthurian legend brought together in the quest for the holy grail. King Arthur rides the land to find knights to join his cause, and then finally begins the journey. Without giving much away, they get into every imaginable peril on the way and lots of laughs are had including:
A wooden rabbit
A psychotic rabbit!
Some over the top French knights
The black knight
Terry Gilliams fantastic animation (old style!)
A castle ...

I'm not dead..... Review ofMonty Python And The Holy Grail DVDby
JHPRUSHTON
Advantages: Darn funny....everlasing humour. Disadvantages: None ...unless you a total 'Christian'
...one review a film like Monty Python and the Holy Grail? You're either a fan of Python humor (in which case you probably already have worn out your first two VHS copies of the movie and have a life-size movie theater cutout of John Cleese in your bedroom), or you're not. It's silly, somewhat gory, incredibly irreverent, no doubt offensive to many, and it's a release from real life that many people will appreciate. The bottom line is, if you DO like ...

Shes a witch Review ofMonty Python And The Holy Grail DVDby
steelhamster
Advantages: A Laugh Fest Disadvantages: Too Short
This is by far my favourite Python film. I have had to replace it on tape twice due the wear and tear of so many viewings. I now thankfully have it on DVD and the added picture quality and zoom functions mean theres is more I can se that wasnt there before.
The best way to watch this movie is if you are a little intoxicated (and obviously over 18 ;-) ) as watching it any other way (although still funny) isnt as fulfilling.
I will just pick out ...

Advantages: Funny, very, very funny. Disadvantages: After being used to sketches from Monty Python it can get a bit strange seeing all the same characters.
...of the best things the Monty Python team could have done! One of three feature films from them this is simply packed full of the perfect examples of just WHY they were, and are, so popular.
After watching this film about a million times, and being able to quote it backward (honest, wanna see?) I can recommend this fully to anyone who likes decent comedy!
The best bit about for me, is the Frenchman - played by John Cleese, with the best insults ever! ...

...Heston when five minutes of Monty Python will be far more entertaining and far more educational.
If you ever wanted to what the average wing-speed of a fully-laden swallow is - then this is the film for you. If you are fortunate enough to know the King Arthur myths then prepare to have all that knowledge renedered forgotten and useless in the space of 83 minutes.
Although nothing more than a series of sketches cleverly shoe-horned into some semblance ...

Advantages: Fantastically funny and very watchable. Disadvantages: Can be abit rude.
...incredibly........ FUNNY and Totally watchable Monty Python. The basic plot speaks for itself. King Authur of the Britains is searching for knights of the round table wen a rather irritable god shows up...the quest for the Holy Grail begins.
Throughout this film starring John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin... the crew face: 5 frenchmen packed full of insults defending a huge castle, A black night ...

Another masterpiece from the lads. John Clease, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam star in this epic adventure in search for the holy grail. The opening credits feature a multitude of llama's who have contributed to the films production with cool flashing colours. The hilarity progresses from there following the quest of king arthur for the holy grail with his knight sidekicks. There are many funny moments in this ...

Advantages: you can have a good laugh Disadvantages: not for the strict christian
Monty Pithons Life Of Brian shows how much comical genius the monty pithon lads have. The way it is set, the way it is acted out, the way it is scripted, its brill! As a song writter, I admire always look on the bright side of life for its light hearted humour and its potential as a normal song. The song is a great finale for the classic film and I hope that the monty pithon labs can get together again some day, well the remaining lads left, anyway.
Always ...

Bridge of Death:
Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who approcheth the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?
