Gulliver's Travels meets Monty Python.
This Terry Gilliam directed movie is a visual masterpiece. With stunning cinematography, costumes and make-up, together with great casting for cameos, such as Robin Williams as The King of the Moon, and Uma Thurman as The Goddess Venus, this is a visually pleasing and well acted movie.
The only place where this movie really falls down is in the script, it attempts to be a comedy, but there are few laugh out loud moments, it attempts to be an adventure, but there are few truly exciting incidents.
Nevertheless, the acting, special effects, and costumes easily manage to keep this movie from drowning.
A pleasure for the eyes, if not for the pulse.
