MONTY PYTHON and THE HOLY GRAIL

Never go by IMDb ratings is something that u ll learn only if u have a more or less similar experience.So it was my turn to learn a lesson.Not that the movie in question was bad but it would be way behind wat u wud expect of a movie.

So with nothing but an IMDb rating of around 8.4 and one of my friends review of the above movie i downloaded it.I always have the habit watching movies that others bring before i finish with my set of movies.So invariably i take home watever i bring from home,untouched.So this tym it wud be the other way around ii thought and i played the movie wid two of my pals-both of whom had absolutely no intention of watching it- around me.

The movie is a big wud-have been.It is the story r rather spoof of King Arthur and his Knights pursuit for the holy grail.With no historical knowledge about the original,i turned to my christian friend,who in turn gave a blank shrug and wide smile.So u can imagine the impact a movie spoof would create if u have not seen the original one.Terrible boredom and involuntary hurling of censored words from mouths.In fact we all went on to curse IMDb for this unforgivable favour,more so.

English humour as the call it,is never really funny,say many.NO way!!.If u d ask me,i d say,they are not at all funny,in the first place.On the contrary they are irritating.Since English humour formed the bed-rock of this movie i need not say why i have this why-was-this-movie-included-under-the-comedy-genre look on my face.

On the lighter note.This movie s actors have done a great job,having undergone the painstaking job of riding horses that did not exist and making sounds with coconuts.Their dialogue delivery is wonderful and the dialogues are um um makes u think if u- shud- laugh kinds.

I am tempted to call it two hours or so of non-stop non-sense,but i opt out of it as i have plans to watch the movie again and try and justify the 8.4.
