"Are you ready for the next big hit? Fans of the beloved 1981 film, Time Bandits, were both excited and apprehensive when the announcement of a TV remake hit the news. The pressure was on for creators Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, and Iain Morris to live up to the cult classic, but it seems like their efforts have paid off.
The Apple TV Plus live-action series follows the story of 11-year-old Kevin, a history enthusiast played by the talented Kal-El Tuck. After a chance encounter with a group of thieves, Kevin finds himself on a wild journey through time and space to save his parents and the world. The original film, directed by Terry Gillam and starring big names like Sean Connery and John Cleese, has left a lasting impact on fans, with some even calling it their all-time favorite. So naturally, when news of the TV remake began to spread, there were mixed feelings among viewers.
One fan, Lafcreative, expressed their excitement by saying, "One of my favorite childhood films! Can't wait to see this new adaptation!" This sentiment was echoed by many others, but some were skeptical about whether the new version would do the original justice. However, with the recent release of the first two episodes, fans have taken to social media once again to share their relief and praise for the show and its talented cast, including Lisa Kudrow from Friends.
