Funny, yet very over-rated

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2004)

I was talking to a user on a board a little while ago. We were rating movies. When the title "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" came up, he gave it a 10, a higher rating then he gave such classics like "Lord of the Rings", "Casablanca", "Titanic" and "The Godfather."
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a very funny movie. It is probably one of the most popular "cult films" of all time. Yes, Entertainment Weekly called this a "cult film"
But is it worth all the hype and attention?
I am a big fan of the old Monty Python TV Show. Many of my friends have seen any of the old shows. When I ask them about watching the TV shows with me, they look puzzled, and go. "There were Monty Python TV shows? Awesome!" The shows came out 10 years before the movie did.
So, yes, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" deserves a place in movie history. But it is a silly comedy. Nothing more. Nothing less.
