Amazon.com essential video:
Monty Python's Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) directs this wild, wild version of the stories of Baron Munchausen, pushing the limits of 1989 special effects technology to bring us such sights as a horse divided in half and running around in two parts, and a giant Robin Williams with his head flying off his shoulders. Basically, this is a treat for Gilliam fans, as the sustaining idea of the film runs out of steam, and manic energy alone keeps the momentum going. Casual viewers might find it tedious after awhile. There are nice parts for fellow Python Eric Idle, as well as Sting, Alison Steadman, and Uma Thurman as a dazzlingly beautiful Venus on a half-shell. Gilliam had greater artistic and commercial success with Brazil, The Fisher King, and 12 Monkeys. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Love this Movie but...
First off, I can't find fault with this movie even if I tried, I love the story and then when I discovered the movie I loved how well portrayed this absolutely fantastic story is enacted in an equally fantastic movie. In addition, it is a film that ages well and seems just as fresh and new today as 20 years ago. It is rare that a fantasy film does not come off as dated so long after its release but this one stands the test of time beautifully. My only side-note is that Turner Classic Moves keeps playing ...
