Nonureva Really Surprised!

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

djfrost-46786 If I could give an 5.5 I would. Yes creative, great kids movie, but some scenes are not for kids. To be honest if I never watch it again I'm not missing anything.

bkoganbing Although The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen went spectacularly over budget and drowned miserably at the box office the film in its after life of syndication and video distribution hasn't done all that bad for director Terry Gilliam. It's a different kind of Munchausen than the one that Dr. Goebbels produced for Nazi Germany during the height of World War II. That one was pure fantasy, this one has a lot of belly laughs which one would expect from a pair of Monty Python troupe graduates like Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam.Cast as the fabulous German aristocrat and teller of tall tales is John Neville who I first encountered and best remember as the Duke Of Marlborough in The First Churchills. He's as aristocratic as Marlborough as Munchausen, but plays it tongue in cheek with the ever present twinkle in the eye.You won't see my parent's Munchausen here. I refer of course to the famous radio show done by vaudeville dialect comedian Jack Pearl who told those tall tales to the listening audience and when getting a bit too outrageous and questioned by the announcer would give the ever ready answer, "vas you dere Charlie".Kids of all ages might like Neville's version. As for the adults what's not to like about Uma Thurman as the goddess of love Venus. The adults will definitely rent this DVD for her.

Jisoo Kim Before watching the movie, I did some research and found out it had been one of the most expensive movies made at the time. Although I found it visually stunning and well made - it bored me because it was too long and confusing.The acting is impressive. I particularly liked Uma Thurman's performance. Sarah Polley also stood out.Even though this movie was very colorful and exotic with idiosyncratic characters the story is a fiasco.To summarize: A colorful tall tale that turns out to be too long and confusing.

robert-259-28954 This film, borne of years of frustration, cost overruns and production delays, is a marvel, true example of fantasy filmmaking at its best. The mind blowing production values are one-of-a-kind, its stellar cast, phenomenal. From John Neville in the title role to Eric Idle in yet another marvelous comic turn, make for extraordinary viewing. After years of watching it, I never tire of its wonderful story telling, of its unending visual richness. The only thing that disturbs me is why it was never given the acknowledgment or box office success it deserved, somehow delegated to the dustbin of "failed films," when it is in fact, a singularly great motion picture on every level. Rather than rehash its twisted turns and lush literary content, I can only say this: Watch it.
