Time Bandits Review 2024 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
This show is a what were they thinking type bad. Why did they take such a painfully over the top silly approach to this premise. Why not have Kevin act and react similarly to the way an actual kid would react in these situations? Instead they’re going for a slap stick comedy for 7 and unders and even for a kid this is an insult to their intelligence. The people behind this project deserve exactly what they get… hopefully they never have another opportunity to work in television or movies again, because they’re clearly not good at it. This is literally one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen.
I read the reviews before hand and I knew they were bad, but I was hoping that since the premise is a fun that I should be able to get some entertainment value out of it even if it’s less than ideal, but it’s so much worse then I could have ever anticipated. It’s not the deal breaker or anything but the kid playing Kevin is an atrociously bad actor, and partially to his defense the script is so bad and silly it would be hard to act decent, but he’s even bad for a horrible script.
The kid gets whisked into the portal with arrows flinging at him and he’s throwing out one liners and is screaming in an artificial over the top demeanor. He gets back through the door into his room with a person from this place in time and is like, I’m going to go grab my parents and I’m not allowed to have visitors after 7 pm… such stupid nonsense. And his parents are so over the top jackholes… it’s as they waited to act this way once they had an audience watching, because Kevin appears to have never experienced his parents being over the top jackholes until this show begins.
I noticed one of the reviews claiming that the hate that the show is getting is because it’s different than the movie. That has absolutely nothing to do with it, unless the negative reviewers mean by different that the Kevin from the movie reacts similarly to the way an actual kid would react going through a time portal being whisked into various worlds and stumbling upon various people. This kid is acting and reacting like a bad skit show and the fact that he’s so bad at acting is icing on the cake. It’s unfortunate because it’s such a fun premise that should have been difficult to fail, but they literally couldn’t have done any worse. This show fails in every possible way. This has 0 entertainment value. This is awful! It’s one of the worst shows ever made. You’ve been warned.
