I wouldn't call Time Bandits a perfect film - the episodic nature of Kevin's encounters is structurally weak, for example - but there are tons of details to rediscover and take delight in. The child's point of view is well represented and there are many links to be made between his real life and his fantasy life.
Not a bad movie. I'll watch anything with Sir Thomas Sean Connery, but...
What the Hell kind of ending was that?! Let's end the movie with Kevin's parents blowing up after having survived a house fire. Didn't the firemen see the parents blow up? Connery just winks and he and the rest of the firemen just leave freshly orphaned Kevin with his smoldering parents? Sure they were wankers but WTF? You'd think if the Supreme Being could bring back the dwarf that got smashed, oh well whatever.
Super dumb. I can hardly bring myself to finish watching and I have 45 minutes left.
EDIT: After taking a break to regain my sanity, I forced myself to finish it. I guess it's supposed to be a comedy? Where are the jokes? Every scene is the same: attempted comedy falls flat, then they drag it out for another ten minutes hoping it will eventually become funny.
Not to mention the worst ending possible. This movie is the the dumbest.
