Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Tim referring to what turns out to be a rabbit: Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Monkeyboy Review
Monty Python and the Holy Grail was recently voted the funniest thing ever in some sort of BBC poll. Even funnier than those blokes rolling down a hill in an old bath in Last of the Summer Wine. Even funnier than Del Boy saying, "Cushty!" in Only Fools ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Monkeyboy Review

Third time's the charm? Well not really. After a lackluster initial release in 2000, Columbia delivered in 2001 what it thought was a fix in a double-disc, feature-loaded special edition which its own packaging claimed was the "Ultimate Definitive Final ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Boxoffice Magazine

While the initial release of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" was generally respectable, given the film's low budget origins, fans weren't pleased. So Columbia TriStar have answered the call tenfold, delivering a new double-disc edition of the film on ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Boxoffice Magazine
Daily-Reviews.com (Brian Matherly)
The last selection on the disc, entitled Excommunication, is the most disappointing, as it is simply an advertisement for the Python website (and a small ad at that, as it basically only gives the name of the website and nothing more). Apart from this ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Daily-Reviews.com (Brian Matherly)
Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Best cinematic performance ever by a horse, by Graham Chapman. Other than that, there's no point singling out any member of the cast, they're all brilliant in many roles, high pitched vocces, raised eyebrows and confused diction leading the way. Every ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Crazy for Cinema
I have to say that whenever I need cheering up, I turn to Monty Python. Their blend of insane, clever, silly humor always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it. One of my all time favorite films is HOLY GRAIL. Though the film is mainly a ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Crazy for Cinema

All Monty Python films divide an audience into two groups: those who "get it" and those who don't. If you're a fan of deadpan, british humour (note the spelling, I'm one of those who get it) then this movie is like having your first orgasm over and over ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at eFilmCritic

In this Monty Python take on medieval times, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his Knights of the Round Table embark on the quest for the Holy Grail. In their travels they meet all sorts of people who are basically too smart or too dumb for their own good. ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Moviegnome.com

Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M. Anderson)
The funniest movie I ever saw, Airplane!, couldn't possibly be made today because it assumed its audience was intelligent and didn't explain any of its jokes. Whose standards have lowered, the moviemakers' or the audience's? Certainly no one today could ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M.

Like calling the ocean wet or the sky blue, calling MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL the funniest movie ever is a bit like stating the obvious. While not everyone may agree with me, they must at least admit that it falls firmly in the top five, as far as ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at hybridmagazine.com
The Movie Chicks
First, 'Apocalypse Now Redux' returned with 53 new minutes. Now, one of the classic comedies of all time is back - with 24 seconds added that have never been seen before (at least in the movie theater with a regular audience). The sound has been ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at The Movie Chicks

Python is… and always has been… laugh out loud funny. But this is the kind of thing that everyone says. I am at a sort of a quandary as to what to write to someone who has never seen Python. Part of the job is to attempt to describe a ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at filmcritic.com (James Brundage)
PreViewed DVD
The comedy troupe of Monty Python (if you're wondering who Monty is, all I can tell you is that he's good friends with Pink Floyd and Leonard Skinnard) is comprised of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. ...read the complete Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie review at PreViewed DVD

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" er etter undertegnedes mening det desidert beste Python-gjengen laget.

Although it’s very silly and sometimes taxes my patience, I’ve loved “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” for years because of its dark humor, irreverent imagination, and quirky originality.

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
I think I read it best when The Digital Bits said (and I'm paraphrasing here): There is nothing I can say that will change your mind about this film. I'm a firm believer that statement is true.

The seen with the rabbit and the holy hand grenade made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt for days and the tears were streaming down my face. The only flaw is the ending is stupid, but the rest is very funny and very quotable. "YOU STUPID ENGLISH ...
