Gatorade. Wow.
As crassly commercial as this is, I was charmed by how well they followed, and even expanded upon the Monty Python formulae of Wacky Madcap Humor. I liked how they were not in lockstep with the original Grail plot, it allowed some surprises to come through. The locations, cinematography, music and use of even some modernized Gilliamanimations are spot on. This only really falls down in the dialogue. Everyone is speaking as if they have gravel in their collective mouth. Python’s spoken humor has always been greatly dependant upon clever wordplay, and that gets lost to certain extent. saying that, I accept that Kevin Garnett (who I now see in a new light), is not an actor, not a linereader. Although kudos on the “dumping the ego” scene. It was kind of touching.
