Time Bandits is the tale of a group of midgets that have stolen a map from God. The map is one that shows all the different time portals, where they are, when they are and where you will end up when you go in them. The midget bandits decided to steal the map and go throughout history stealing gold, paintings and other objects of wealth from different periods throughout time. One of the time portals takes them into a child's room. The child follows them and goes with them on the adventure. As you can already tell, this is more or less a children's movie. Children would enjoy it, but so would older folk as it is reminescent of Monty Python (Terry Gilliam, director of Time Bandits, used to work on Monty Python). I thought it was entertaining for the most part and well made, but not as good as I had expected it to be.
3 1/2 stars
