Time bandits was a great movie when the little boy has a dream about a hores comeing through his wardrobe and the horse jumping over him and went into another would full with trees mud and butterflys a lake with lots of fish.Time bandits was a scairey movie where the EVIL ONE like dose stuff to the people and they work for him so much that he dosent pay them and wich he should.

This was the worst movie EVER EVER EVER!!!! The storyline was messed up-the ending was confusing as his parents got blown up at the end. How did he get back in his bedroom at the end? How was the fireman, the king, Sean Connory?

Time bandits was ok I thought the only good bit was when the person got turned into a pig. I didnt understand the ending when his mum and dad blew up, I give it 2 stars.

I thought it was a bad film. Because it was boring.i thought storyline was bad.. 

Fascinating facts

Terry Gilliam supposedly wrote a screenplay for Time Bandits 2 but ditched the project due to the deaths of Jack Purvis and David Rappaport, the main original actors.
