I'm not saying this movie isn't bad, it's just...average. Also I felt kind of bad after watching this movie, because God is sort of portrayed as a...sisy. some parts of the movie are really funny, but some arent that good at all. I'd say the rateing they gave it is just. you should just keep to monty python

What Parents Need to Know
About Time Bandits
Parents need to know that kids will see a good deal of cartoonish violence (a man's arm is ripped off during an arm wrestling match, a hungry dwarf captures a rat and eats it, severed feet hang from the ceiling of an ogre's ship, etc.). Two characters are blown up at the end, but they aren't depicted as very nice people. Also there are scary creatures, and depictions of a supreme being and his nemesis that some will find objectionable. The bandits are pursued by the Supreme Being, i.e., God, who seems to have created the world in a slapdash manner. They also encounter the Evil Genius, or Devil. Throughout, the movie advocates reading and an appreciation for both the factual and mythological aspects of human history. Its dwarf protagonists also address themes of tolerance.
