Adventures of Baron Munchausen - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
27/07/2007

Picked this film because I am big Robin Williams fan . . . . but this film is a big miss. Weak except possibly for young kids who want feel of fairy tale without worrying about the how story holds together. Good production values to no avail. Robin Williams's role is as quirky as ever - and quirky is what he is all about - but he isn't enough to rescue this film. The lesson here is that good movies are harder to select to make than one might expect, but I still cannot see how they ever thought this would fly.

Chaotic! - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen review by AER

Spoiler Alert
01/12/2021

Terry Gilliam's films are always chaotic. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is completely bonkers, visually amazing, and endlessly creative. I hadn't seen it before and loved every second of this utterly nuts cacophony of mad ideas, gargantuan sets and wild casting - John Neville, Sarah Polley, Robin Williams, Eric Idle, Jack Purvis, Uma Thurman, Oliver Reed, Jonathan Pryce, Bill Paterson, Sting!!, and Alison Steadman... Loved it.
