Brandon W An visual feast with a soundtrack that compells me to watch through the end credits. I first saw this imaginative movie in theaters as a child and it has been my hands down favourite movie ever since, despite me having a more science fiction bend to my preferences. The Baron's refusal to not do what is right just because it is not practical propels him and his new friend on an adventure that will take him through the world, and off of it. His eagerness to embrace the extraordinary powers this brilliant story, and I look forward to my niece and then my nephew being old enough to enjoy it with me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Jacob B Any time that I get to spend witnessing what comes out of the mind of Terry Gilliam is time well spent! This may not be as technically and emotionally mature as his masterpiece “The Fisher King”, but “Baron” has more awe, imagination, kindness and humor than almost any film claiming to be fantasy or escapism today. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Chris T Wonderful movie! Examines the themes of aging, mortality, the power of belief and imagination and how having a purpose invigorates one's life. Fun, funny, but dark in the right places. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Tyler Y Terry Gilliam is one of those incredibly distinctive directors that does things his way every time. And sometimes, in certain genres, it works, and sometimes, it feels awkward. But this is about as perfectly as it can work. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Ronnie M I loved this movie as a child and even more so as an adult. The acting, directing, and sets are all over the top great. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Kyle C I was really pleasantly surprised by how fun and wacky this movie is! It’s got sort of an improv-esque, “yes, and” plot that makes no sense at all but somehow all comes together perfectly. It’s a bit of Monty Python and a LOT of Terry Gilliam. It’s kid-friendly but also has some hilarious, raunchy adult humor. The sets are beautiful and creative, the cast is bursting with talent (Robin Williams as the King of the Moon! What!!), and the dialogue is just fucking funny. That being said, I’m so glad I was familiar with Terry Gilliam’s work so I knew what to expect, because man, this movie is WEIRD.
