Movie Reviews of Black Adder III
Movie Review: Best of British (Comedy)
Summary: 5 Stars
Black Adder is a must for anyone who enjoys British comedy. Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie, UK comedy elites, are absolutely brilliant in the Black Adder series. A classic that will not dissappoint.Movie Review: Funny Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a huge fan of English humor, but Black Adder is extremely hilarious. Very sophisticated humor, none of that slapstick stuff. Rowan Atkinson at his best, too. Five starsMovie Review: Blackadder the Great
Summary: 5 Stars
It's another laughable, silly and great series. Like series 2 and 4 It's a must have. All I can say is it's probably the greatest comedy's of all time, trust me. Just buy it.Movie Review: Black Adder 3

Black Adder is Excellent! Funny with ironically a little history mixed in. If you like to laugh then this is right down your alley. Enjoy! I certainly did!!Movie Review: "Sod off."
Summary: 4 Stars
I have only seen episodes from this and the first Black Adder series. I must say that I think this is much funnier and more light-hearted than the first series. The first series (1983) does have it's moments but suffers from unfunny serious moments and an ultimately unlikeable and annoyingly voiced Black Adder (Rowan Atkinson). It does grow on you though, especially if you love British humor. You may want to own the entire series; if not for the consistent laughs, then for the originality. Anyway, this, the third series (1987), set in England (1768-1815) finds Edmund Black Adder as the butler of George, the Prince Regent. Baldrick again plays servant to Black Adder. This series, like the other three, consists of 6 episodes. The episodes you get here are "Dish & Dishonesty", "Ink and Incapability", "Nob & Nobility", "Sense & Senility", "Amy & Amiability", and "Duel & Duality". DVD is the best way to own this collection (but you already knew that, right?). The set of 4 DVDs can be bought individually or as part of a 5 DVD set including a special, "Black Adder: Back & Forth" (aired in 2000), interviews, and other goodies. I am not sure if "Black Adder's Christmas Carol" (1987) is included on this DVD, but it is in the boxed set. One of my favorite episodes in this volume is "Ink & Incapability" where the Prince decides to "partonize" Dr. Johnson's dictionary, which took him 10 years to complete. Baldrick accidentally uses it as kindling and Black Adder feels he must try to rewrite it all in one night. One of the best aspects of this series is the witty dialogue. This is from the aforementioned episode:Black Adder: "Baldrick, believe me, eternity in the company of Beezlebub and all his instruments of death will be a picnic compared to five minutes with me - and this pencil..."
