	Review: Time Bandits
		Time Bandits retains a strong Monty Python flavor, which is not surprising, considering that it was only one of two films made by Gilliam during the period before the comedy troupe disbanded.
		Time Bandits opens by introducing us to Kevin (Craig Warnock), an average boy who spends a lot of time reading as a means of escape from a dreary home life and neglectful, uncaring parents who would rather watch TV game shows than spend time with him.
		Time Bandits, illustrating the imaginings of children, represents the first film in what has become known as Gilliam's "Dreams Trilogy." Brazil, the middle chapter, depicts the dreams of a middle-aged individual.

	Enter the Zone: The Time Bandits
		Time Bandits rob themselves and others of the precious and costly commodity of time.
		If you are the Time Bandit, take a moment to emphasize, punctuate and reiterate what time you are due to get up in the morning, go to sleep at night and keep all subsequent time appointments for the day and the week.
		Time Bandits reinforce their own disordered time schedules by the excuses, rationalizations and justifications that they tell themselves.

	The Film Asylum Review - Time Bandits (Craig Warnock, David Rappaport)
		Given the opportunity to join their romp across time, Kevin understandably decides to forego life at home with his placid, coach potato parents, and instead jumps feet first into the time hole with the bandits, on their quest into the unknown.
		During the various legs of their journey to unravel the strands history itself, all manner of peril awaits, and all the while the Evil Genius (superbly played by David Warner) is hot on their trail, desperately courting the map for his own despicable ends.
		Time Bandits combines a classic fantasy storytelling format with some original and incredibly imaginative ideas, and its Pythonesque sense of humour adds more than a touch of the absurd, surely a pre-requisite for any entertaining fable.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, TIME BANDITS (1981)
		So begins Kevin's journey with the "Time Bandits," a hodgepodge group of would-be criminals who have stolen a map from the Supreme Being which shows all the holes in the fabric of the Universe and where they lead.
		TIME BANDITS manages to be both a hilarious satire and a fun adventure story.
		The Time of Legends is really well done too, featuring an ogre and his wife (Peter Vaughan and Katherine Helmond), a very large giant (Ian Muir), and lastly the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Time Bandits
		And of course, the Monty Python troupe, which featured Gilliam, Cleese and Michael Palin (co-writer and co-star of Time Bandits), was never known for adhering to theory.
		But this lurching in style in Time Bandits makes the film overall hard to take seriously -- which, in a way, is fortunate, since the misfired ending features the boy hero's parents being reduced to smoldering ashes.
		Like all of Terry Gilliam's films, Time Bandits looks wonderful; the production design is credited to Milly Burns, but it's obvious that Gilliam himself is really responsible for the imaginative, extravagant and unique design of the movie -- it's constantly surprising in visual terms.

	Time Bandits: Criterion Collection (1981)
		Time Bandits lurches toward the inevitable confrontations at its climax, and it offers some nice bits of humor along the way, but the whole enterprise seems a little tedious and worn out by the time the film finally does end.
		Time Bandits appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Time Bandits wasn’t an unwatchable affair, and a number of scenes were quite attractive.

		Time Bandits was my first look at Ian Holm, as Napolean, who likes "little things, hitting each other!" Years later, I would watch him as Priest Vito Cornelious in The Fifth Element and struggle to place the face.
		By the time he appeared as Bilbo Baggins in The Fellowship of the Ring, I'd figured out who he was and become quite attached to him.

		Time Bandits'premise would suit the most wide-eyed space opera: an imaginative English lad finds six dwarfs tumbling out of his bedroom closet one night and accompanies them on their adventures through time and space.
		In Time Bandits, Gilliam is still the innovative graphic artist who brings strange worlds to extravagant life but cannot animate his actors.

		If you're an astronomer, for whom time is inextricably linked to the physical rotation of the earth, this move would turn time into that illusion.
		A 2001 article for Metrologia explains the case for eliminating the leap second, arguing that our dependence on satellite navigation systems (instead of a sextant and the stars) means that the leap second may be "detrimental to some systems, possibly creating life-threatening situations".
		For social time (or maybe "common time" would be a better term), we do actually prefer to be roughly synchronized with the earth's rotation.

		A dark comic fantasy, Time Bandits featured six dwarves who felt that their work for the Supreme Being in helping to shape Creation has gone unappreciated.
		Another former time bandit, Wally (Jack Purvis) is despised by the group as he has moved into Creation's Upper Management and is in charge of the Accounting Department.
		But Time Bandits II's biggest failing is that it doesn't feel like it fits in with the first film at some level.

		Terry Gilliam's role in the new Time Bandits is largely creative - Gilliam never intended to direct Time Bandits 2 and wanted only to write and produce, handing over the directorial reigns to David Garfath, who was the camera operator on the original Time Bandits.
		During their quest to prevent the apocalypse, the Bandits join up with Polly, encounter 18th-century pirates with a fetish for cleanliness, meet Joan of Arc on her way to Rouen, muck with Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, and observe monks freaking out during the first millennium.

		The world of Time Bandits may not exist anywhere but in that one film, but it is so rich and wild, that it leaps from the screen and wrestles the viewer to the ground.

		Time Bandits was a large success (it would be one of Gilliam's few), grossing over 40 million in the domestic United States.
		Gilliam's trio of films beginning with Time Bandits is often seen as an unofficial trilogy: Brazil and Baron Munchausen regard the utility of imagination in, respectively, middle- and old-age; Time Bandits involves the child.

	Review of Time Bandits
		His first solo directorial outing, Jabberwocky, was a fun but slight medieval romp, while Time Bandits broke through in a way that established his name as a talent separate from his Python roots (of course his old friends do contribute to this movie, especially Michael Palin as the co-writer).
		Fantasy was always a tough market, and Time Bandits pulled off quite a feat in its overall success, especially considering that it was made for $5 million and more recent fantasy successes such as The Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter movies spent 20 times as much.
		Time Bandits does better at this genre than Gilliam's later attempt, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and while Time Bandits does not have quite the same sense of frenetic genius as in Brazil, it's a highly enjoyable film in its own right.
