Rating: ★★★★
Jun 3, 1999World's Greatest Liar's Absurdist Adventures
Terry Gilliam's adaptation of the adventures of the world's greatest liar was another problem ridden Gilliam production that emerges as an absurd, colourful spectacle filled with a dizzying greatness of imagination

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Rating: ★★½
Nov 21, 2003Pirate Fantasy Swashbuckler
Enjoyably tongue-in-cheek pirate swashbuckler based on the Disney theme park that proved an enormous hit and spun off a series of sequels, as well as giving Johnny Depp one of his iconic roles

The Brothers Grimm (2005)

The Brothers Grimm (2005)
Rating: ★★
Jul 3, 2007Fairy-Tale Authors' Adventures
Probably the least satisfying of Terry Gilliam's films that turns the real-life fairytale authors into scam ghost hunters in an adventure. Purportedly the subject of behind the scenes troubles, the film never quite comes to life on screen

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
Rating: ★★½
Jul 24, 2006Pirate Fantasy Swashbuckler
The second of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Johnny Depp and all the principals are back and much of the eccentric humour is present but the action has undergone budget bloat

Rating: ★★
Aug 25, 2009Futuristic Military Action Team
Stephen Sommers make a film based on the popular action toy line. Barring one exhilarating sequence in the middle, this consists of lots of sound and CGI fury amounting to very little at all

Rating: ★★
Mar 27, 2013Futuristic Military Action Team
You can't complain that this is not exactly what you expect it to be – two hours of cartoonish action during which the brain singularly fails to engage. This is less unapologetic about being a military fantasy than the first film

The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)
Rating: ★
Mar 5, 2018Charles Dickens and the Writing of A Christmas Carol
Among the fad for biopics about writers and the origins of famous stories, this, about Charles Dickens and the creation of A Christmas Carol, is the most lunatic – and that's not counting the blatant lie of the title

Rating: ★★★
Jun 15, 2019Delusionary Modern-Day Quest
This has been called the unluckiest film ever made - there is even an entire documentary devoted to the collapse of a prior version. Here Terry Gilliam's film about people on delusional quests finally emerges with the glory he always intended it to be
