Movie Reviews

Tulsa World - 10/10 by Dennis KingThe Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a fairy tale of large heart and limitless vision. Like its maker, it staunchly defies the exigencies of reason to pursue a bigger vision of imagination.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Judy StoneTerry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a wondrous feat of imagination. In terms of sheer inventiveness, it makes the other movies around these days look paltry and underfed. The worlds Gilliam has created here are like the ones he created in his animations for Monty Python -- they have a majestic peculiarity. And you're constantly amazed by the freshness and eccentricity of what is pushed in front of your eyes.
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffA fitting final installment in Terry Gilliam's trilogy begun with Time Bandits and continued with Brazil.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune - 9/10 by Christopher LloydLike many of Gilliam's cerebral, impish films, Munchausen toes the line between rationality and fantasy, gleefully incorporating both into the same story.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson HoweTerry Gilliam is the wit behind this lavish display of sieges, sea-creature tussles and trips to the moon. Adapting the handed-down stories of Baron Von Munchausen, an 18th-century spinner of tall tales, this modern maker of similar flights of fancy has created another brilliantly inventive epic of fantasy and satire.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertI was confused sometimes during Baron Munchausen and bored sometimes, but this is a vast and commodious work, and even allowing for the unsuccessful passages there is a lot here to treasure.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksGilliam has set up so many entrancing set-pieces that it's impossible to list them all.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 8/10 by Roger HurlburtSuperbly photographed and marvelously lighted, this remarkable set piece of art direction and stunning decor cures many of its own ills, including a screenplay that meanders grandly.
TIME Magazine - 8/10 by Richard CorlissA lavish fairy tale for bright children of all ages.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Sheila BensonThe sheer volume and invention of Gilliam's visual largess sets him apart, and his wit operates for the most part at a dangerously sophisticated level.
