The original still exists, that's great. I expect I'll watch this because I have Apple, but it's more of a 'why not' watch with no particular expectation.
I think it looks okay. I didn't laugh at all but it got a smile out of me. Plus, and if you've not seen her in anything but Friends you might not know this, Lisa Kudrow is a gifted comedienne. She's very good at playing a snarky person who believes she's by far the smartest person in the room but falls flat. She has a very British comedic sensibility. So I'm looking forward to more I don't think Taika Waititi ruined Thor. One of the movies was pretty good. For the other I think Disney signed Natalie Portman and built the movie around that rather than let the creatives craft the story in a way that flowed from the ideas they explored in the previous installment. You have to admit those two movies are pretty dissonant in a lot of ways. They don't quite fit together, right? Well, that's why. Studios make big demands and creatives can't always make it work. See Spider-Man 3 for a great example. Taika Waititi is actually very good. He's made Jojo Rabbit and What We Do In The Shadows. Let's not get tunnel vision here And yeah, they should have hired little people of some description. Hollywood is not fond of people who have disabilities and/or conditions unless we're inspiring them or otherwise making them feel better. You know the "magic negro" trope? I call it "the magic cripple." If you have a disability and/or condition you know this well. Game Of Thrones was a step forward, Dinklage was in that one X-Men movie, and Warwick Davis has done well for himself but generally they prefer to work with people who can pretend to be disabled or ill or whatever (that's why the only thing you usually see is someone in a wheelchair) or just cut that bit altogether. For all the representation initiatives they have it's a bit odd that we disableds and others who have various conditions and such aren't included more. Funny, that
Why in hell would anyone want to remake a classic like Time Bandits. The original was a brilliant childhood fantasy and made history enchanting. Sean Connery as Agamemnon was a master stroke of casting. You really feel Kevin's sadness when he's dragged away from ancient Greece. Who wouldn't want to be able to travel into the past, a past full of heroes and danger, where good and evil are clearly defined. Who wouldn't want to be a companion to a hero of the Trojan War? The 'Kevin' in this is rubbish: a stereotype, a Geek with glasses and all, not an ordinary boy who is simply fascinated by history, by battles, by heroism and adventures that feed his boyish imagination. Why can't modern production companies leave things alone and just hire imaginative new writers (actually just hire people who can write!) to create original adventures for children... Like Terry Jones and Gilliam did! Oh, I forgot, Woke activism, pushing 'The Message' and a profound lack of talent is more important than telling stories that entertain, educate and inspire, and take you to other places and other times. It is indeed a world turned upside down! The fact that Terry Gilliam walked off the set is all we need to know.
This feels like an American interpretation of British comedy writing. To in your face and no subtlety. Again the average of the average of the average to appeal to everyone and appeals to no one. Glad it is on Apple TV where no one will ever see it and less will talk about it.
Ouch. What happens to these directors after a couple good movies? I liked Jo Jo Rabbit, Hunt for the Wilder People, and What we do in the Shadows. All good stuff imo. The hipster M. Night it's looking like.
Thanks to Peter Dicklage because no one wants to cast a small people actors. I'm glad I don't watch modern movies or series. They are too woke and garbage.
Omg…they never learn…you CANNOT remake classic movies…just make a time traveling movie about a kid for yourself and call it something else…is this that hard to understand?!? Jesus!!!!
Good video! I knew greed was a theme in the original, but you tied Kevin's parents to it well. They really do reinforce it. And David Warner was fantastic in the original. The remake looks like a weak, uninteresting version of the original.
I liked the original movie. I'm glad it's not a carbon copy of the original movie. This look's like something the whole family could watch. I'll check it out and see how it goes.
In the movie, Kevin is sympathetic and likeable. In the series, he's just annoying. I actively avoid anything related to Taika Waititi, I don't find him funny. I watched the film as a kid; it was funny and horrifying and had some people I kind of knew or at least recognised from TV in the UK. The series has, so far, been below the low expectations I had.
I'm a kid of the 80s, loved T.G.s Time Bandits, this just looks like another woke remake..have enough women or coloured folks in it? check! This era really is creatively bankrupt.
I subscribed because you are currently at 299 subscribers... 300 now bitches! Hope you hit 500 soon... I'm at 190 myself, it's a tough slog that's for sure. Great video, keep up the good work. I have to read the Discworld books, I hear good things.
Miserable people just love to hate everything. I thought it was great. Sadly I dont think it will get a second season due to whining adult babies that just need to hate on everything.
Thanks for the review, I defiantly won't be watching this. The original had something special, this movie has Lisa Kudrow because Matthew Perry wasn't available.
Totally agree with your review, this reboot is YET another example of a remake/re-boot/re-hash totally ripping out all of 'great things' that made the original so remarkable and gain a cult following ....to only replace it with a lame interpretation ....actually I like most of what the makers behind have done previously...but this remake was well off / so misguided ....all you need to know about this project is that Gilliam himself walked ...end off
Now it's like apple and disney are boring into my childhiod memories just to defile them. Waiting for a crossover where 'mother nature' and willow teaam up with a de-aged Han Solo to fight 'Global fascist patriarchy warming'. ...how dare you.
Not sure a early 80s film that worked because of its very british pythonesque nature can then be turned into a drawn out series that is just a way for Taika and Jermaine to insert themselves and think they can get laughs from..so far not many laughs just a bit of differnt styles mashed togather and I dont think these guys are funny anymore and it shows. From the mess that destroyed Thor to this these guys have outstayed their welcome. Sad really watching 2 middle aged men prove they are done.

No Dwarfs = not Time Bandits = I will skip
Exactly that turned me off too.
No wonder Terry Gilliam walked away. He knows this is going to be complete garbage :-)
Bastardization of something I cherished as a boy. How dare they even touch a classic film and mutilate it.
Justifying the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
They will never learn!
So, the boy is shown as a geek but paints his figurines as if he is dumb or blind!? Is there no TH-cam in this universe?!
I watched it. I wanted to like it because I liked the movie.
All I could think was: "When will this get funny?"
I'm still waiting.
The original still exists, that's great. I expect I'll watch this because I have Apple, but it's more of a 'why not' watch with no particular expectation.
I got about 12 seconds into the trailer, stopped it, clicked thumbs down, and found better things to watch.
"From a block of ice to beef bourguignon in 12 seconds...."
The series will never be better than this.
Watched 4 episodes against my better judgement and that's enough. It's terrible.
I’d rather watch the original. Saw it in the theatre when I was a kid and always liked it.
I’ll pass on a new version.
Thanks for the video. I'll pass on the Time Bandits TV series.
Thank you for watching.

All Girl Ghostbusters: Here’s a dumb movie destined to ruin your childhood!
Time Bandits Reboot: Hold my beer
It seems the Dwarfs are getting replaced by regular people in things these days. I miss seeing them on our screens

Trailer looks great, can't wait for the series.
peter dinklage strikes again
I just watched the trailer, comments are turned off but I would like to say, "oh very dear" is there nothing Disney will ruin?
to be fair its Apple doing the deconstruction now
Ouch. What happens to these directors after a couple good movies? I liked Jo Jo Rabbit, Hunt for the Wilder People, and What we do in the Shadows. All good stuff imo. The hipster M. Night it's looking like.
Thanks to Peter Dicklage because no one wants to cast a small people actors. I'm glad I don't watch modern movies or series. They are too woke and garbage.
Tick boxing for the dopes of this world.
I agree, they're just ticking boxes.
Omg…they never learn…you CANNOT remake classic movies…just make a time traveling movie about a kid for yourself and call it something else…is this that hard to understand?!? Jesus!!!!
They made time bandits into a series? No dwarves for the main cast and loses the message entirely. Yup sounds about right.
When the folks in the trailer actually referred to themselves as "The Time Bandits" I was done. This looks so disappointing.
Good video! I knew greed was a theme in the original, but you tied Kevin's parents to it well. They really do reinforce it. And David Warner was fantastic in the original. The remake looks like a weak, uninteresting version of the original.
Thanks for the compliment.
yall boomers mad about a new interpretation of a movie from the 80’s?? LOL
I liked the original movie. I'm glad it's not a carbon copy of the original movie. This look's like something the whole family could watch. I'll check it out and see how it goes.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I appreciate you watching.
If your whole family are in a vegetative state.
Hated it. Gilliams creation can't be altered this much.
Y Y Y Y Y. Y DESTROY A CLASSIC. YYY. LEAVE IT ALONE. THANKS FOR THE VID I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE.
In the movie, Kevin is sympathetic and likeable. In the series, he's just annoying.
I actively avoid anything related to Taika Waititi, I don't find him funny.
I watched the film as a kid; it was funny and horrifying and had some people I kind of knew or at least recognised from TV in the UK.

Thank you so much for subscribing. I really appreciate it.
I am thankful They Live,Short Circuit and Krull and not bee touched................yet.
Waititi ruins everything he touches because he lacks humility.
Looks like D.O.D.O!!!!
Miserable people just love to hate everything. I thought it was great. Sadly I dont think it will get a second season due to whining adult babies that just need to hate on everything.
Thanks for the review, I defiantly won't be watching this. The original had something special, this movie has Lisa Kudrow because Matthew Perry wasn't available.
This looks more like a spin off than a re-make.... Like Amazon's woke LOTR.

I agree. I totally understand why Terry Gilliam walked off the set.
No dwarfs it's not timebandits
Now it's like apple and disney are boring into my childhiod memories just to defile them. Waiting for a crossover where 'mother nature' and willow teaam up with a de-aged Han Solo to fight 'Global fascist patriarchy warming'. ...how dare you.
little nicky was a much better movie about a goofball satan
No Warwick Davis, I'm out
What a bunch of depressing losers. I'll give it a chance.
Having them introduce themselves as "the time bandits" is absolutely stupid and sums up just how far off base this mess is. Will not be watching.
I agree. It looks pretty bad.
why?
OH NO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WHY? Has the human imagination become so stagnate that they cant create anything original?
Why the buggery would you re-make it? I mean, why?
Money
Remaking a Terry Gilliam film 🤔. You're not going to make it any better.
What's with hollywoods hate for the little people.
The trailer was unbearable. I won't ever watch this appalling series.
Not sure a early 80s film that worked because of its very british pythonesque nature can then be turned into a drawn out series that is just a way for Taika and Jermaine to insert themselves and think they can get laughs from..so far not many laughs just a bit of differnt styles mashed togather and I dont think these guys are funny anymore and it shows.

No no no no no
friends had a laugh track...she was never funny
Sounds awful ...
Why mess with a masterpiece 😢
My thoughts exactly.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
What a pos movie..
Its shite
The first 2 episodes are pure crap. Worse than crap, is stinking visual diarrhea.
Don't blame taika peter dincklage is the reason this sucks
