What is so great about this film?

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2003)

I have only seen a part of this film, up to the part where Inigo Montoya and Fezzik revive the Man In Black and team up with him. But it is enough to form some kind of opinion about it.
I fail to see what is so great about this film. Why has it achieved such a cult status in the USA? In my opinion, this film is just an enjoyable comical fantasy, nothing more. There aren't any particularly innovative characters, scenes or jokes. The plot is interesting enough, and some of the scenes (such as the sword fight between Inigo Montoya and the Man In Black, or the torture scene with the machine) are particularly amusing, but I still don't think they are enough to make this film such a huge classic.
This film reminds me a great deal of Monty Python's "Holy Grail". Now THAT is a classic film worthy of a cult status. Sure, there are funny characters, scenes and jokes in this movie too, but in "Holy Grail", they are much, much funnier.
