An average movie

Since I have always been interested in Terry Gilliam’s work, I was really eager to check this flick. Basically, it is another cult classic directed by Gilliam but, to be honest, I wasn’t completely blown away by the whole thing. Indeed, like many other movies coming from this interesting director, I thought that it was visually impressive but I actually had a rather hard time to connect with the story. I don't know, I guess, the story was not bad but, somehow I didn’t think it was really entertaining and I was rather bored from time to time while watching this flick. On the other hand, it has been a while since I have seen this movie so I should definitely re-watch it at some point to make up my mind for good about the damned thing. 4 years later, Gilliam would come with up ‘Brazil’ which would be a huge critical hit and it has been considered as Terry Gilliam’s magnum opus ever since. Coming back to our main feature, to conclude, even though I thought it was slightly disappointing, it was still an interesting and original feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Terry Gilliam’s work.
