Review of Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky (1977)
7/10
Yes, it's similar to Monty Python!

I was expecting to watch "Jabberwocky" for a long time because of the comparisons which many people do between this movie and the Monty Python's "Holy Grail". I really did like the Python's film so I was expecting something equally good in this one. I must say I didn't get disappointed.

"Jabberwocky" is a medieval tale about a monster which was frightening the lands of King Bruno "The Questionable", and it is, in a good measure, comparable to "Holy Grail". It might not to be so hilarious and so funnily absurd like Python's movie, but it has a similar kind of humour and many (good) laughable scenes. Like Python used to do, it mixes an intelligent and corrosive humour to the foolish type and the result is quite good and entertaining.

The settings and the costumes are also very nice, because they really create a medieval "ambience".
