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.
Osmosis Iron The tallest of the Tall Tales, which is all true - they have the film to prove it! Absolutely fantastic blend of adventure, fantasy and comedy. The fantastic art style and practical effects used to bring this movie alive, make it look and feel truly special. Features a plethora of imaginative and memorable locations and characters, from the charismatic Baron himself(who is like an older version of Jack Sparrow) to King of the Moon and from.. well the Moon to the Vulcan's forge.. it's the most magnificently weird and fantastically quirky odyssey ever put to screen. See it, you will not regret it!
gabegodoi This fantasy, directed by Terry Gilliam, is full of wonderment and adventure. Seldom is a film so immersive that a viewers disbelief is not suspended, but expelled. The film is an adventure that mocks logic and common sense to glorify the romance of imagination. Imagine your child self gained knowledge, but remained passionate, naive, and light of heart; that is the essence of this film. The film Follows Baron Munchausen as he recounts his larger than life adventures that led to the current misfortune of the nation which his audience members hail. The baron must undertake one last quest to gather his old gaggle of super-human friends and save the day. Can he defeat the turks, his own cynicism, and death itself? I don't see why not, after all, anything is possible.
wilsr .I can't believe I actually sat through 1Hr 30m of this drivel, which goes on for an interminable 2 Hr plus. (I fast forwarded through the final scenes just in case something came up. It didn't.) Comedy, even fantasy comedy, has to have a structure. It doesn't necessarily have to be a logical structure (some of the best Monty Python sketches ARE the best because of their zany lack of it) but it must make sense on some level. This effort has absolutely nothing going for it, or for the tens of millions of dollars that were sunk into it.Robin Williams must have been having an off day when his agent suggested getting involved, and his non-appearance in the listings says it all.Gilliam's input in the Monty Python series was the weakest part and in Baron Munchausen we can appreciate just why..
