The prejudice against original cool cult movies too ! Don't care if Terry Gilliam is OK with that, he should not be. Jesus, why do they have to take perfect pop culture gems and turn them into today's useless soon to be forgotten TV series or reboot or sequels or remakes ???
Absolutely ! The magic and the beauty of the visuals were the result of Gilliam's auteur vision and the use of poetic FX with imagination and tricks and illusion instead of modern tech... This remake will be forgotten as soon as it will be released, and we will still watch the original and love it :)
What’s so impressive is the original was a fairly low budget movie and it created timeless visuals that hold up to this day. This new CGI abomination probably spent the same money as the original in catering alone and it clearly sucks!
There have been times when remakes have been better than the original. The original silent film of Ben-Hur was considered a great film, but it was remade, and the remake far exceeded the original in quality. Just because a film was great, doesn't mean it can't be made even better. I think it's worth seeing if this one can live up to challenge.
The original was produced by HandMade Films and George Harrison. Classic movie. Love it. They were really onto something with reality TV and game shows becoming "your money or your life"
Meh, remakes are fine. If you love the original, you should be happy to see someone else's take on it. The original is untouched and you can keep watching it too. This won't be the same and it's not supposed to be. It's a new take on it, made for today's young audience. It's not intended for us that watched the original.
@@Beeti1 Yeah take a look at Disney Star Wars destroying the name Star Wars, turning fans to anti-fans and their last iteration "Acolyte" ended with 5% of the audience that "The Mandalorian" had. Its not as if a horribly bad politicized remake will ever destroy an IP and turn people off to it.
cus they're unimaginative and can't craft something wonderful but instead will attempt to ride the coattails of something wonderful when they ought to have waited till all the OG fans were dead...
Liked Lisa Kudrow but instead of a remake they should have developed a sequel or prequel storyline and brought back some of the original cast. Taika Waititi is really either really hot or really cold.
AGREE !!! Shame on Gilliam for allowing this to exist. The magic original will still be an absolute delight to watch in ten years when this "supposedly respectful but not too respectful and useless remake for the new generation" will be forgotten.
Or how about we appreciate that it looks better and sounds better and has one of the best comedy teams on the planet writing it? I mean, no shade to the original, but sometimes remakes or updates are actually good too. And it’s different enough that-WHOA!- Maybe we can appreciate BOTH!
i was 9 and just got my first pair of glasses....we were late getting to the theater (dad and I) and it was one of the most memorable days in my young life. this is a travesty to redo this...especially without the little people (and yes, I saw three of them but that's just paying lip service). On the other hand...maybe they were asked and had the sense to say 'nay'.
By the numbers, there are almost certainly more new original films coming out today than any time previously. The movies we now consider classics didn't always get the most attention or highest advertising budgets at the time either.
Wow this just kick started a bunch of childhood memories. I need to go back and watch the original Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchhaussen, Excaliber, Krull, Labrynth, Legend, among others.
Remakes only make sense if you are filling in the holes that caused it to fail. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen as well as Time Bandits have a particular style that might not be appropriated but is part of the story.
The original is one of my all time favorite movies from my childhood. This doesn't look horrible and there are several people in it that I trust to be ridiculous yet still deliver a solid storyline. I'm in!
This is one for the “Why” file. The original was so good but I suppose it is old enough that the people who watch won’t know what they are missing. Poor things.
I can honestly see why this is being made and I might give the first couple of episodes a watch, but along with Top Gun, Ghostbusters, and Beverly Hills Cop, I will keep my expectations low
Well, in that case, let's make them drink the source, because there is no need for them to go through another useless remake/reboot of perfect pop gems.
My 15 year son recently discover by himself Monty Python, already a fan. I´m so proud of him. Not everything I did was wrong in his education. I had never made such a perfect description: the holy source of humor. I wil keep it. Thank you.
Of course Apple TV has the comment section turned off. This trailer and remake of Time Bandits is super horrible. They should have casted Person of Short Stature for all six roles of Time Bandits. Nope, we get the DEI version of them which is super cringe 100%. There are plenty of dwarf actors that were availble for potential roles for this remake of this movie. I'm pretty sure that these leftist that cry racism turned a blind eye to this movie.
I went to see the original in the theatres. I loved this film. I want to see this one. I like that Lisa has put a fun spin on the new version. I was trying to remember some of the original cast. Sean Connery played in it. Loved him in it. Looking forward to seeing this film.
@@Miginath Yeah, I mean, come on, how is it possible to forget them if you love the original ??? The new cast will be weak in comparison to say the least !
I loved the original Time Bandits movie. I wish I had Apple+ so I could watch this version, but alas, I already have other streaming services and can only afford so many, and those services have good shows as well.
Our family just finished the series and loved it! Except the final ending...hopefully there will be a season 2. The jokes were wonky and there were references to Monty Python and other shows. It was an all around refreshing and fun time! --- Sure, we enjoyed the original movie but this was a fun and different ride as well! 😊😊😊
I absolutely hate that streaming shows don't seem to know how to block out shot composition or that they don't even bother to attempt it, like it's not as if it's impossible to adjust to the widescreen format either but most productions don't even try. It's terrible because it makes nothing going on screen land, it ruins jokes and romantic moments or tense moments when everything is just shot like a documentary or news broadcast.
pretty sure nothing needs to be remade with Kudrow. that said, she IS worthy of some original material....as long as she's not repeating her pheobe character.
I love love love me some Lisa Kudrow, but c'mon. While watching this trailer, all I could hear in my head is, "RERERETURN THE MAMAMAP. RERERETURN WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM ME." Looks like they got a lookalike for the giant with the ship hat. Geez ... all the memories of that movie are rolling in ... "Um, Hood. Robin Hood", "The most fabulous object in the unEEverse", "Leer at them, Darling. You know, like you used to", "Mum! Dad! Don't touch eet. It's evil."
The original still holds up. This was not only completely unnecessary but looks like they intend to ruin everything that made the original the classic that it is.
Presumably Terry Gilliam signed off, and made a boatload on, this remake. Good for TG. But why? Maybe he's getting old and just figured he'd cash in even though he has no need for the silver. I bet he has no credits, other than 'based on' or some such nod. If he's not in creative control, he probably just wants ZERO to do with it; he figures it'll fade quickly, and people will realize how much better his original is. And his original is a truly great movie.
love the original have the criterion collection edition on DVD , This 2024 version will never replace it , But at the same time it does look like it could be a fun time just saying .
This is just flashy and derivitive. Just because it's newer doesn't make it better. Hopefully, it just makes them watch the original. Next: a remake of The Holy Grail, but with the Backstreet Boys, 50 Cent, and Elton John as King Arthur. 😁
Thank you for reminding me to watch the original again.
Exactly.
The prejudice against dwarves continues.
The prejudice against original cool cult movies too ! Don't care if Terry Gilliam is OK with that, he should not be. Jesus, why do they have to take perfect pop culture gems and turn them into today's useless soon to be forgotten TV series or reboot or sequels or remakes ???
@@StephenDedalus74 but he is, so quitcherbitchen.
Just a little bit.
Yes, this was my one disappointment in seeing this trailer.
That's because there is very little they can do about it 😆.
Terry Gilliam time bandits not only had a creative story but very stunning visuals no one can remake this
Absolutely ! The magic and the beauty of the visuals were the result of Gilliam's auteur vision and the use of poetic FX with imagination and tricks and illusion instead of modern tech... This remake will be forgotten as soon as it will be released, and we will still watch the original and love it :)
there can be no other.
I think this still worth giving a shot.

I already have the classic on Blu-ray. It doesn't mean I can't enjoy this.
@@reh3884 That's true: having the classic on blu-ray won't be the thing that prevents you from enjoying this.
Do you not have any thoughts of your own?
@@Beeti1 Occasionally.
40 years makes a big difference in relevant humor and while Gen Z might get the original this will be more 21c
"Why?..Just why?"
- every OG Time Bandits fan
cus they're unimaginative and can't craft something wonderful but instead will attempt to ride the coattails of something wonderful when they ought to have waited till all the OG fans were dead...
Liked Lisa Kudrow but instead of a remake they should have developed a sequel or prequel storyline and brought back some of the original cast. Taika Waititi is really either really hot or really cold.
Half the original cast as died
Not enough little people in the re-make in my opinion
Definitely should have done lisa and her crew with a hobbit feeling.
Another unnecessary re make. Technology now means having to set everything in the 80's or just "rebooting" everything.
The original is a classic.
AGREE !!! Shame on Gilliam for allowing this to exist. The magic original will still be an absolute delight to watch in ten years when this "supposedly respectful but not too respectful and useless remake for the new generation" will be forgotten.
even in the 80s have a lot of remakes from 50's Hollywood alwayd did this
Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should
why not have everyone re-watch the original Time Bandits, and put Lisa Kudrow in something original.
it's been over 40 years. There's nothing wrong with a remake dang near half a century later.
Who's stopping you? Go watch the original. This remake will get the younger generation to go look for the original.
Remakes are as old as Hollywood
Or how about we appreciate that it looks better and sounds better and has one of the best comedy teams on the planet writing it? I mean, no shade to the original, but sometimes remakes or updates are actually good too. And it’s different enough that-WHOA!- Maybe we can appreciate BOTH!
Or another Romy and Michelle movie!
I was a week from turning 13 when Time Bandits hit the Theaters in 1981. I loved that movie as a kid.
i was 9 and just got my first pair of glasses....we were late getting to the theater (dad and I) and it was one of the most memorable days in my young life. this is a travesty to redo this...especially without the little people (and yes, I saw three of them but that's just paying lip service). On the other hand...maybe they were asked and had the sense to say 'nay'.
"Don't touch it! It's evil!"
How the hell could you ever top or even get close to David Rappaport as the leader. He was so good in the movie.
You mean David Warner.
@@neilmick7746 Nah, he was just Evil... and besides, they agreed there was no leader...
@@neilmick7746 No, Warner was The Ultimate Evil. Rappaport was 'the leader' - of the time bandits.
The original is one of my favourite moves. This doesn't appear to be necessary.
The original may be Terry's masterpiece. Why a remake?
Because greedy studio executives are not making any money off the original.
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Time Bandits and Brazil.
OH GREAT! ANOTHER REMAKE! IS ANYONE CAPABLE OF ORIGINAL THOUGHTS ANYMORE?
Remakes, reboots, prequels, sequels.
They have no ideas anymore.
By the numbers, there are almost certainly more new original films coming out today than any time previously. The movies we now consider classics didn't always get the most attention or highest advertising budgets at the time either.
The original still holds up, no need for a remake.
Wow this just kick started a bunch of childhood memories. I need to go back and watch the original Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchhaussen, Excaliber, Krull, Labrynth, Legend, among others.
That sounds like a great plan! I'm gonna make popcorn.
They’ve already covered 12 Monkeys, so maybe Brazil is next. Rest in peace, Katherine Helmond.
How much you wanna bet they nerf the ending?
that's probably the whole point
Stay with the original - its much better and it's an instant classic.
Wow! I didn't think there could be anything worse than The Acolyte...........I was wrong!

It wasn't needed. Why was it made?
To be needed.
Like John Steed and Emma Peel were needed too.
$$$$$$$$$$$
Are you referring to the series or to Taika Waititi's career?
Thank you for pointing this out so I can Google the title and watch the original instead.
Perfectly fine until Taika Watiti had to insert himself to star in the project as always. So it’s a no for me.
What's wrong with Taika?
That ass ruined Thor
Somethings cannot be improved on and the original of this "movie" is one of them.
“Mom my wardrobe’s moving”made me laugh
This time around I'm a big child and I'll be watching this for nostalgic reasons.
ME TOO!
It was never a kids film. It had Python dark humour, Gilliams dark fantasy and historical satire in it.
@@adriandenton6637 I bet you're fun at parties.
@@ellydavis2066 More fun than this mess.
And now that I know that it exists, I can easily ignore it whilst re-watching the original.
'No Thank You VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY much. Loved the original.
I'd rather watch the original "Time Bandits " on DVD.
Once again, proof that Hollywood simply no longer has original ideas, it's all remakes, sequels, prequels

Some movies should never be remade and this is one of them, “ and what’s your name? 4 for 1
Penelope and Kevins Excellent Adventure: The Bandit and The Wardrobe
Every episode gets funnier
My family and I love this show!
Just why ? No one can do a film as amazing as Terry Gilliam !
Watch the 1981 original before you see this disrespectful imitation.
Them time bandits been heightening
Yes, this remake will point a new generation to the holy source of humor: Monty Python.
Well, in that case, let's make them drink the source, because there is no need for them to go through another useless remake/reboot of perfect pop gems.

Sean Connery, Ian Holm, John Cleese, Michael Palin, and a few other luminaries of the British stage and screen.

@@StephenDedalus74 It's a bot account.
Always wondered what an invisible wall looked like
“Don’t laugh it’s evil there cause it’s serious!”
From the vampires that brought you "What We Do in the Shadows" comes another story in the 'Time Bandits' universe . . .
Why would you remake such a unique movie?
Because taika watitti has become a hack with a penchant for defecating on the greatness of yesteryear...
The most fabulous object in the world.
Why?
Sometimes it takes shit like this too appreciate the original 🧐
I can't wait!! I think that it brings the best of yesteryear and gives it a modern feel so that the generation of today can enjoy something wholesome.
I loved the original Time Bandits movie. I wish I had Apple+ so I could watch this version, but alas, I already have other streaming services and can only afford so many, and those services have good shows as well.

Saw the original on the Big Screen. I’ll watch this one, too. Everyone else, lighten up. Pop some Orville Redenbaker and enjoy.
Timely references like Jeff Bezos will age quite well in 40 years. Well done, Apple.
Hollywood found a way to ruin yet another gem from the past.
DOROTHY: I'm not a witch at all! Witches are old and ugly. GLINDA: Only bad witches are ugly. The trope continues.
Don't worry there are no dwarfs or little people in this version they are now out of work and starving but nobody's feelings are hurt
I watched the first episode. It's pretty good.
“But we don’t know who it is!”
The answer to all the concerns in these comments is hilariously: TIME TRAVEL
I never understood people's issues with remakes. The original is still there. You can still watch it.
This looks great
Loved the original hope it is good
ROAM IF YOU WANT TO ALLROUND THE WORLD!
yeah, that's just what the world needs, a fucking time bandits remake with lisa kudrow.
pretty sure nothing needs to be remade with Kudrow. that said, she IS worthy of some original material....as long as she's not repeating her pheobe character.
Anyone familiar with the original will find this utterly uninteresting.
What's wrong with having an exclusively little person cast again like in the original?
I love love love me some Lisa Kudrow, but c'mon. While watching this trailer, all I could hear in my head is, "RERERETURN THE MAMAMAP. RERERETURN WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM ME."

Absolutely nothing is sacred in Hollywood.
The original still holds up. This was not only completely unnecessary but looks like they intend to ruin everything that made the original the classic that it is.
Yeah a remake of Time Bandits without either Peter Dinklage or Warwick Davis? No thanks.
this movie will do for Waititi what The Book of Henry did for Trevorrow. It' got their Star Wars movies taken away from them by Disney.
Is it just me or is the voice L. K. using sound like when Joey's agent died and Phoebe imitated her voice?
The comment of a real Friends fan with a great memory! 😃
Huge fan of the original this all looks interesting except Lisa Kudrow.
give me a b-52's song for a soundtrack and i'm there for it!!!
Presumably Terry Gilliam signed off, and made a boatload on, this remake. Good for TG.
