VHS Movie Reviews of Monty Python & Holy Grail
Movie Review: Not quite great edition
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, the movie is awesome, the second DVD is awesome, all the little extras on both DVDs are great. Of course the film is grainy and such, it was meant to be that way.
Now, this version is not as good as another. The Extraordinarily Deluxe Edition. It has the DVD and the second DVD. It also includes the old album that was released of the film ow on CD. It is packaged nicely (it looks better than this version).
I think it is kewl that they were adding in the Script, but it is already on the DVD itself. Plus if you just google, you can find it online very easily. So it really isn't worth it to have it included for this much. The Extraordinarily version is the one I recommend. It's packaging looks much better as well as aranged better, it has the extra cd, and it costs less. With the money you save, you can get some coconuts and play along with the movie.
Summary of Monty Python & Holy Grail
Could this be the funniest movie ever made? By any rational measure of comedy, this medieval romp from the Monty Python troupe certainly belongs on the short list of candidates. According to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, it's "recommended for fans only," but we say hogwash to that--you could be a complete newcomer to the Python phenomenon and still find this send-up of the Arthurian legend to be wet-your-pants hilarious. It's basically a series of sketches woven together as King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail, with Graham Chapman as the King, Terry Gilliam as his simpleton sidekick Patsy, and the rest of the Python gang filling out a variety of outrageous roles. The comedy highlights are too numerous to mention, but once you've seen Arthur's outrageously bloody encounter with the ominous Black Knight (John Cleese), you'll know that nothing's sacred in the Python school of comedy. From holy hand grenades to killer bunnies to the absurdity of the three-headed knights who say "Ni--!," this is the kind of movie that will strike you as fantastically funny or just plain silly, but why stop there? It's all over the map, and the pace lags a bit here and there, but for every throwaway gag the Pythons have invented, there's a bit of subtle business or grand-scale insanity that's utterly inspired. The sum of this madness is a movie that's beloved by anyone with a pulse and an irreverent sense of humor. If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you're almost certainly dead. --Jeff ShannonComedy VHS Video
