Movie Reviews of The Black Adder
Movie Review: Rowan Atkinson is positively brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
I positively LOVE British comedy... Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers, `Allo `Allo, Mr. Bean, Monty Python, Mind Your Language etc. The best of these is Black Adder.
Black Adder turns history upside down on its head. Forget whatever you learnt of the Tudors because you will have to re-learn it when you watch the "real history" of Black Adder.
For those who are unfamiliar with this series, it may take you a while to understand the nuances and "read between the lines". But this ability to understand the humor will increase as you watch the series. A general underlying truth is that each episode gets funnier as you move forward in this series.
Rowan Atkinson is positively brilliant! Honestly speaking, I think that his performance in this series is just head and shoulders above his comedy in Mr. Bean.
Movie Review: At last! At last!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finaly its made it to region 1 dvd, after getting a sneak preview of this title from a friend with a region 4 version of this disk i couldnt wait to order the complete set on DVD. Perhaps the funniest, wittiest and blackest comedy to ever hit television in the world!! watch and fall for the charactors who get funnier and funnier with every episode and series (maybe not the last millenium show though!). For all those who havent seen this series. Watch it!! The best thing to come from Britian since fried chips!!Movie Review: Brilliant demented history!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rowan Atkinson is charmingly evil in the lead role. Somehow twisting his face to look a human rat, he plots and schemes his way to his own destruction in his quest to become the king. (Which he does, albeit for a few seconds.) Being a BBC production, it's rather like watching a goofy version of I, Claudius. It's a tribute to Atkinson's skills as a performer, that even after all his dire deeds, he is still a pathetic figure at the end. Wonderful program!Movie Review: Wickedly funny
Summary: 5 Stars
The first, and the best, series of Blackadder. Starring Rowan Atkinson as Prince Edmund aka 'The Black Adder'. Each hilarious episode sees the hopeless Edmund trying to wrest some power from his father the King (Brian Blessed) and Harry his older brother aided by his two sidekicks Percy and Baldrick.
As usual, the 'cunning plans' backfire on the hapless trio with the usual side splitting consequences. Wickedly funny and well worth watching
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
I still remember how I accidently stumbled across this series many years ago, channel surfing and finding some very strange show on PBS (it was the Archbishop episode). I ended up on the floor laughing. If you love Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Bottom etc you will love this series. There are four series within the series and the beauty is they are all great, and you will want to watch them over and over and over.
