By the late 1970s, Monty Python's resident animator and occasional performer, Terry Gilliam, was ready to direct a feature film on his own (he codirected Monty Python and the Holy Grail two years earlier). Returning to the medieval muck and monstrosities that served as a backdrop for Holy Grail, Gilliam chose a darker satire for this erratic but funny outing. The result was a witty, modernist fable about an unprepared hero (Michael Palin) pushed through a heroic journey by uncontrollable forces of destiny, propelling him into a duel with a fearsome, man-eating dragon called Jabberwock. Raunchy, irreverent, and borderline cynical, Jabberwocky reveals a lot of Gilliam's flaws as a first-time solo filmmaker, but it also serves as a map of his obsessions and extravagant sense of art direction--elements of his artistry that certainly flourished in subsequent works. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - TERRY GILLIAM TRIES HIS HAND IN HORROR.....well sort of
JABBERWOCKY starts off with the very talented Terry Jones as a poacher checking his traps. He suddenly encounters the JABBERWOCK which eats his body to the bones(great scene I might add the likes of George Romero and Peter Jackson)its the middle ages and the JABBERWOCK has terrified the land.
Enter Dennis Cooper(played by my favorite Python Michael Palin)a barrel maker who is in love with a VERY plus size girl who really wants nothing to do with him. I will not give the movie away and would ... Read More
Rating:  - Absolutely Terrible
This movie is so bad. It's incredibly boring, and not funny at all. This is probably one of the only movies i've ever seen that actually put me to sleep. Skip this and go buy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That movie is 100x better than this load of garbage.Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Special Edition)
Rating:  - Jabberwoky DVD
Funny, funny, funny. Terry Gilliam (Monty Python) spins a fantastic story that is hilarious and a little dark. A must have if you enjoy Terry Gilliams other work or are an avid Monty Python fan.
Rating: - 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble...
Just when you thought it wouldn't get any better since the release of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones collaborate to lampoon England's medieval civilization period complete with a monster who terrorizes the once happy kingdom ruled under King Bruno the Questionable (Max Wall). Both Gilliam and Jones made cameos in which both became victims of the monster who stalks them with Jones, who plays a poacher, as its first victim at the start of the film. Helpless survivors ...

Rating: - RUSH HOUR!
First off, the setting that Terry and his crew make allows you to feel the fifth, the dirt, and the unwashed crowds that make up a medieval city. Maybe not enough pigs and rats, but that's just me. Michael Palin, as a modern man out of time, a business man trapped in a past where his ideas are strange and unwelcome, is perfect. The story is a simple fairy tale with one flaw. Michael Palin does not WANT half the Kingdom. He does not WANT to marry the Princess. He just wants a simple life, counting ... Read More
