Product ReviewsThe Adventures of Baron Munchausen (DVD, 1998)

Great addition to my collection.

Great quality, NIB & sealed just like ad stated. But...Ad stated $8.99+ free shiping. I checked my bank and Paypal added a separate charge for what I'm thinking is the tax. Not a good idea, tax should've been added in 1 charge not separately, some banks like mine charge for things like that.Read full review...

Adventures ?

This the most chaotic, dismal, waste of time, that I have ever watched ! The only redeeming scene is when Uma Thermon comes out of the scallop shell ! All the remainder and previous scenes are confusing, wasteful and boring ! Don't even think about it !Read full review...

Münchhausen the Classic tall tales!

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen!

This movie is taken from the tall tales of Baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymus, Freiherr von Münchhausen (1720 – 1797). They were written down and published in book format under the same title.

Historically, it is said that while telling his outrageous stories, the Baron would insist that his listeners take his word as a gentleman and would become irate if his stories were questioned. More than once he challenged men to duels when he felt that his honor had been compromised (at his very old age, no one had the heart to accept.)

Terry Gilliam has masterfully depicted the Baron in several of his most famous escapades, lightly tinged of course with his Monty Python-esk type humor. For its time, the special effects were amazing, as it stands now they still pop the eye.

An all star cast heads up this production, John Neville is the spitting image of Baron Münchhausen taken from a drawing of his bust from 1766, supported by a very young Sarah Polly (Dawn of the Dead) and Eric Idle of the Monty Python troupe. Also making appearances Oliver Reed, Uma Therman and Robin Williams as King of the Moon make for an adventure movie of EPIC proportions!

It is already a classic, though a little known one, still a classic!

Highest marks and a must see for any Terry Gilliam fan!Read full review...

Great Movie for all.

I've been looking for this movie. Should have known to look here first. Best price I found, played great and shipped fast.
If you look at nothing but the "sets" on the movie you will see a masterpiece of film. It's also a pretty funny movie with a great story.Read full review...

Baron Munch

It is a little chaotic, but good British tongue in cheek humor.

An Under the Radar Gem

It held me. I found myself watching it straight through though I aldo see how the filming was terrifying for Sarah Polley as she recounts in "Run Toward the Danger."

Imagination, life, truth and lie in a masterpiece film.

Excellent movie, full of imagination, excellent cinema effects, and overall, fantasy mixed with reality and fiction, in which we can see the intelligence of a person to lie while having the truth in his hands. There's a sickness called Munchausen's Syndrome, in which the patient lies a lot and that's a psycological problem. Uma Thruman is a beautiful girl.Read full review...
