The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Laboured in places but one of those great flops which are brimming with good ideas.

A movie that doesn't need to make any sense, and subsequently doesn't. I love odd movies, and this one speaks to the inner child in me that doesn't want to be all serious.

Megamillion-dollar epic offers consistently brilliant special effects that quickly overwhelm the viewer. Gilliam has a bountiful imagination, but little control over it.

Amazing production design, set pieces and practical effects. Perhaps the most baroque of Gilliam's filmography which is saying a lot. There's a children's book, tall tale sense of wonder throughout every set of the movie. There are wonderful cameos, the best among them being Robin Williams, but the abundance of whimsy gets in the way of the narrative.

relentlessly fun and imaginative. a fairy tale for the family.

Gilliam had such a good run.

The scene with Venus seemed a lot racier when I was a kid.

Flawed, but awesomely entertaining!

comedy adventure a good film

Weird but good movie

"Monty Python"''s Gilliam followed up his cult favorites _Time Bandits_ and _Brazil_ with this underrated new interpretation of this story. Wonderfully quaint special FX and a fabulous cast help make this box office disappointment worthy of rediscovery. Michele Soavi directed second unit and is credited by Gilliam as saving the film when it ran over schedule.

One of my fave movies, got to love a crazy man riding on a cannonball.

Loved it

Extremely strange

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.

Some of the most imaginative storytelling I've ever seen. It loses steam near the end, but the cast keeps things moving well enough.

I liked this better when I was a teen - some of the humor is too simple, predictable etc. for an adult. But there are many beautiful images, nice little moments, and I like the music and Terry Gilliam look. As for the message - it's either a mess or beyond me. An ode to madness?

I love this movie.

Loved it, one of Gilliam's best, i saw in this old cinemas and i though it was the best thing ever

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

"Like it's hero, extraordinary in every way."
