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.
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 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 ???
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"
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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 .
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."
Some comments hate it also before seeing it, I saw the original, but found it a waste of good ideas, if they had done it in a TV serial, every episode could've been deepened. I hope that now they could do a better job.
You completely missed the point of the storytelling of the original : all the plots were amazing because the pace was intentionnally like a cool magic trip, a dream if you like, when you go from one situation to another in the blink of an eye ! Going too slowly in every story would have killed the poetry and beauty and the fun of it !
@@StephenDedalus74Correct, linked wonderfully by Michael Palin and the late Shelley Duval as lovers through time or so they would be if they weren’t forever dealing with ‘the problem’.
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.
Thank you for reminding me to watch the original again.
Exactly.

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

Terry Gilliam time bandits not only had a creative story but very stunning visuals no one can remake this

there can be no other.
I think this still worth giving a shot.

@@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 😆.
"Why?..Just why?"
- every OG Time Bandits fan
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"
Yes, loved the original!
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.
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
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!
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.
Not enough little people in the re-make in my opinion
Definitely should have done lisa and her crew with a hobbit feeling.
Stay with the original - its much better and it's an instant classic.
"Don't touch it! It's evil!"
I was a week from turning 13 when Time Bandits hit the Theaters in 1981. I loved that movie as a kid.
The original is one of my favourite moves. This doesn't appear to be necessary.
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.
How much you wanna bet they nerf the ending?
that's probably the whole point
The original still holds up, no need for a remake.
They’ve already covered 12 Monkeys, so maybe Brazil is next. Rest in peace, Katherine Helmond.
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?
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...
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.
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.
Somethings cannot be improved on and the original of this "movie" is one of them.
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
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
OH GREAT! ANOTHER REMAKE! IS ANYONE CAPABLE OF ORIGINAL THOUGHTS ANYMORE?
Delightful! For the record it's not a remake! It's playing with the concept!
This won't dare do the ending the original had
Thank you for pointing this out so I can Google the title and watch the original instead.
I did NOT know this was happening. Cool!
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!
And now that I know that it exists, I can easily ignore it whilst re-watching the original.
Always wondered what an invisible wall looked like
yeah, that's just what the world needs, a fucking time bandits remake with lisa kudrow.
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.

Yay!! I loved the first one! Now I can enjoy the original AND this one!
one of my fav old school movies finally catching up with times...cool
I missed you Lisa. 🥰❤❤❤
If you have not seen "The comeback" you have something quite magnificent in store.
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.
Sean Connery, Ian Holm, John Cleese, Michael Palin, and a few other luminaries of the British stage and screen.
@@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 !
@@StephenDedalus74 It's a bot account.
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.
Phoebeeeee!!!
Lisa! ❤❤❤❤
Some movies should never be remade and this is one of them, “ and what’s your name? 4 for 1
Why?
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.
Wow! I didn't think there could be anything worse than The Acolyte...........I was wrong!
From the vampires that brought you "What We Do in the Shadows" comes another story in the 'Time Bandits' universe . . .
No Way!
'No Thank You VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY much. Loved the original.
Saw the original on the Big Screen. I’ll watch this one, too. Everyone else, lighten up. Pop some Orville Redenbaker and enjoy.
about the movie get a reboot, cannot wait to see it.
Stunning and Brave!!
It's kind of like baseball where a number is retired. David Warner's Evil Genius portrayal should have made a remake off limits
The most fabulous object in the world.
give me a b-52's song for a soundtrack and i'm there for it!!!
Oh, good lord. 😅 Makes you wonder if they'll do a remake of E.T. The Extraterrestrial.
Just why ? No one can do a film as amazing as Terry Gilliam !
I never understood people's issues with remakes. The original is still there. You can still watch it.
DOROTHY: I'm not a witch at all! Witches are old and ugly. GLINDA: Only bad witches are ugly. The trope continues.
Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should
Loved the original hope it is good
The answer to all the concerns in these comments is hilariously: TIME TRAVEL
i loved this series.i;m in.
It was a movie not a series.
This looks fun
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 .
B52s roam best song for this show - looks fun + light
Is this a remake of the 1981 classic?
So is doctor who with a HUGE Budget I'm in
What's wrong with having an exclusively little person cast again like in the original?
I want to like it. But I can not. Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🍍🤙🤙
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.
Once again, proof that Hollywood simply no longer has original ideas, it's all remakes, sequels, prequels
Some charms cannot be recaptured.
"Needs more little people"
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
Ok, that looks cute.
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."

The comment of a real Friends fan with a great memory! 😃
Timely references like Jeff Bezos will age quite well in 40 years. Well done, Apple.
Why would you remake such a unique movie?
If Jemaine’s in. I’m in!!
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.
why must you keep fucking with my childhood......
Lots of sooking below. Wow.
Absolutely nothing is sacred in Hollywood.
Loved the original, not sure about this one.
yay Lisa!
oh dear.
Swing and a miss. Don't mess with perfection.
If Sean Connery ain’t in it, I ain’t watching.
Re-make?
Huge fan of the original this all looks interesting except Lisa Kudrow.
I'd rather watch the original "Time Bandits " on DVD.
Anyone familiar with the original will find this utterly uninteresting.
Bet is a long film/series, the original was shorter
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.
WHY, just Why?! The Original was PERFECT!
