GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
habib_khodadad This movie doesn't just live up to your expectations if you expect quick, quirky, short attention span humor. It is comedy that will satisfy the palate of those who appreciate a more enduring and smart humor, one which you can chew on the gristles and find new flavors as you go along. There are notes of philosphy, religion, and pure mockery of the absurdity of how domineering the two have become over the human psyche. The scenes are funny, but they are intelligent and meaningful. Must watch for those who like this talented cast.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is indeed a classic, and they don't make comedies like this anymore!Everything here is just outlandish, and so strange that it works out greatly in a hilarious way.The characters are colorful, vibrant and full of personalities. And it is always fun to watch Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin take on all of the different characters and bring them to life on the screen."Monty Python and the Holy Grail" has a truly unique and funny storyline, and it is a very Monty Pythonesque movie indeed.This is the type of comedy movie that you can watch again and again, as it is a timeless classic.
alexk-67067 Man I love Monty Python. From Crunchy Frogs and Penguins on TVs, there's no comedy Monty Python can't do, and this movie is no exception. The team at Monty Python knows exactly what to do with the Holy Grail. I've watched this move 3 times, and I still laugh at the jokes. They give King Arthur a great comedic value, and include many funny short scenes, with no other purpose but to make the viewer laugh. It went from nothing in the 70s to a classic for many movie viewers, and there's no questioning why.
kristof_lantos Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a comedy movie set in 10th century England. It is a story about King Arthur and his journey to find the Holy Grail with the Knights of the Round Table. The movie is executed cleverly by the Monty Python comedy group, considering their low budget of $400,000. Instead of creating an unimaginative movie, the group uses their limitations to create comedy. In one scene, the castle guard asks why is King Arthur's squire beating coconut shells together. King Arthur claims that it is his horse. Since coconuts are tropical, the guard rejects his answer and questions the origins of the coconut shells leading to a long and hilarious conversation. Although confusing at first, every plot point connects to one another. An example of this would be Sir Lancelot saving Sir Galahad from temptation, then reuniting with Sir Robin and King Arthur at the forest. This happened right after Sir Robin reunited with King Arthur and Sir Bedivere at the Knights of Ni, after he dealt with the three headed knight. These plot points all connect up, leading to the reunion of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, letting them continue their journey to find the Holy Grail.The movie also executes comedy in a unique way, using incompetence, instead of forced punchlines and one liners. A scene that shows this would be the scene of the Trojan Rabbit. In this scene, King Arthur and his knights created a plan to infiltrate the French castle using a Trojan Rabbit, clearly a reference to the Trojan Horse the Greeks used to infiltrate Troy. But the group mismanages the execution, by sending the Trojan Rabbit to the French before getting inside it, due to Sir Bedivere failing to mention that someone needs to get in the rabbit. Overall, I would rate this movie 9 out of 10, due to its execution on comedy and uniqueness. I would not give it a 10 out of 10 since the ending was anticlimactic and the subplot was not executed well enough.
