The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Audience Reviews

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
cottonmouthz You call yourself an American and yet you've never seen The Adventures of Baron Munchausen? Cancel your plans for this evening and go watch it. Find it wherever you can, be it steaming online someplace or buy it on Amazon if you have to. Borrow it or rent it if you're able. Even if all you can find is an old scratched up VHS, it's worth the watch.The story is quirky and fun and I have to say Robin Williams gives an odd and memorable, almost surreal performance. And Uma Thurman is more sexy than ever in this early role of hers. High praise for this magnificent feature film!
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!
Kirpianuscus it is one of the splendid films for the children. maybe , more, for the inner child. because it reflects entire imagination, eccentricity, delightful scenes, mix between kitsch and nice details, cultural references and a well known story who defines the universe of Terry Gilliam. a film out of borders. this is it. nothing new or special or great. only impressive, using the same emotion from the first ages when you discover extraordinary adventures and unbelievable events. the clue of its charm - the cast. a fabulous John Neville, a young and seductive Uma Thurman, Oliver Reed as powerful and sensitive god and, obvious, the Queen and the King of the Moon ( and the not comfortable allusions ). the only sin - maybe the end who must save the decent rules of genre. but this is only a small detail. because , more than a film, it is a test. about the level of maturity of viewer. if you discover its fake side, you are too old for be reasonable about this special film. if not, you are real...happy.
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.
