Entertainment Reviews:
Nothing builds into full-blooded absurdity, and the enormous cast of British comic specialists is given little opportunity to help out (though they were presumably recruited just for that purpose).

Rating: 64/100 --
Infuse the "dark ages adventure" with some mildly amusing Python-style comedy bits and you have a strong sense of what Jabberwocky is all about.
Apollo Guide
The cast looks like it was recruited from a Pasolini movie, the budget-concious framing is claustrophobic, and there's way too much smoke

Terry Gilliam's visionary humor and style is on full display here.

The movie strains too hard, is far too long, and its irreverent formlessness, a virtue in previous Monty Python endeavors, here seems simply dull and tasteless.

Gannett News Service
Jabberwocky will certainly be of interest to both Gilliam and [Monty] Python fans; we just can't see it ever becoming a favorite of either.

Description by OLDIES.com:
It is the middle of the Dark Ages, ages darker than anyone had ever expected. A horrendous monster casts a dreadful pall of fear over a once-happy land. Dennis Cooper (Michael Palin) is a young villager who wants nothing of adventure. When his father passes, Dennis goes on a journey, leading him into a town where a dragon named Jabberwock is on a murderous spree. Can Dennis kill the dragon and save the kingdom?
