for some reason i just do not like it at all and felt embarrass about how bad it be since i buy it and watch it with my family . all of u hat it with a passion . it a nice enough kid movie and maybe in the year it come out . however and think about it represent an outdated kid movie . what the point . kid do not generally like to watch such old movie anyway and and i do not see what adult be suppose to get out of this movie at all . some kid movie ( like mary poppins or wizard of oz ) can be enjoy even now and but time bandit be totally outdated . for your reference and and i think applicable in this case and i also do not like dr strangelove or spinal tap at all . so and if you disagree with me on those similarly outdated movie and you might like time bandit . there be also a horrible case of overact a i recall from the bad guy . think of the two stupid bad pirate in the pirate of the c. movie and except in time bandit they be not even remotely funny . anyway and i warn you and that all i can do . people that rate this movie high must have like it from many year ago . if you have not see it before and then do not bother watch it now .
