The elements are here for a fantasy on the order of THE WIZARD OF OZ and PINOCCHIO and the 1940 THE THIEF OF BAGDAD; Yet the picture is dry and choppy and remote...Something is missing, though: a bit of conviction-of ardor and awe. Gilliam's hip silliness is deflating; his gifts-his gagster's prankishness and his sense of beautydon't harmonize. The picture is almost devoid of emotional shadings

My favourite part was on the moon. That's the kind of zanyness I expected from Gillian's adaptation. But the rest tends to have problems with the pacing, the girl is kinda annoying and several of the "adventures" are actually rehashed older stories. And Gilliam is just stuffing way too many theme's and subtexts into the story and they are too on the nose.

Repulsive fantasy film is a seedy and depressing experience in every possible way - garish set design and effects mesh with strident, obnoxious characters and characterisations - unfortunately represents the absolute worst of Gilliam's unchecked impulses as a film-maker, before becoming interminably unwatchable by the mid-point. Muddled, confusing storytelling is yet another liability. A fine cast is badly (and embarassingly) hung out to dry.

30 minutes in I said to myself "Wow, I'm really going to hate this movie." I stopped watching somewhere after the moon bit and surfed the Internet until it finished. It's like a really bad, reeeeally long "Looney Toons" cartoon. But then he throws in off-putting sexual jokes, so I couldn't even recommend it as throwaway crap for kids. Also reminded me of Wes Anderson. The torture organ bit ripped off the Monty Python "Mouse Organ" sketch. Terry Gilliam makes shit movies.

On fantasy and imagination as not just elements of the world but performatively constitutive of it, at the same time as (and because) they make it possible to go beyond the world. Perhaps the first of those now-common retiree-focused remakes of THE BLUES BROTHERS, this certainly exemplifies its theme and makes plain the loss of image-making craft that would be the heavy price of the coming explosion of CGI (landmarks being TERMINATOR 2 in 1991, JURASSIC PARK in 1993 and TOY STORY in 1995).

Such a great adventure, just emotional enough to remind me I'm alive but not send me into a deep depression, just funny enough to make me laugh but not crave the next joke.

Like Coppola's Dracula, T.A.O.B.M is bubbling cauldron cinema.There is a surplus of creative ideas that threatens to overwhelm it at every turn, but it would be churlish to complain when the results are this entertaining and original. It's utterly inspired baroque nonsense, and Gilliam's fantastical vision is staged on spectacular sets that are distinctively designed. Neville is perfectly cast as the mischievous Baron, and the film is a joyous crackpot fable with a boundless sense of invention.
