Such a frustrating disappointment

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I saw this not long after it debuted and I remember feeling a bit disappointed. However, as I have just bought the Blackadder mega-set, I thought I'd give it a try once again. Well, now after having see this hilarious special, I must assume back when I first saw it, I was out of my mind, as it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! The show begins in the present. It's New Year's Eve and Edmund is having a few friends over to celebrate--and to rob them blind. His plan is to construct a fake time machine and use it to dupe his friends out of money that they will bet him. However, surprisingly, Baldrick's reconstruction of a supposed DaVinci machine actually works and the two of them are, for some time, stuck in time--unable to find their way back. In the process, unfortunately, they do some significant things to alter time and when they return, the British are all subjects of France--as, thanks to Edmund, the French won at Waterloo and subsequently invaded Britain! There's a lot more to it than this--with probably the best ending of any Blackadder series. It's then up to them to undo undo the damage they caused. I won't say more--it would spoil the fun.Exquisitely written and laugh out loud fun, this is a show not to be missed by fans of these lovely shows.

Even though a lot of people on this forum seem to think this is rubbish i think this is a great blackadder ( although not as good as the TV series i admit ), It is funny and tries to incorporate a family audience to blackadder, I saw the film @ the Dome when i was just 10 and i was laughing my head off. There are a phew mistakes with crew visible but it is a nice short film to end the blackadder series.The crew all seem to have had a great time making the film and it was a good send off after the killing off the characters in series 4, it shows them all as very good friends and Rowan Atkinson @ his cunning best.

Once I got to the end of Blackadder goes Forth, I think anyone would ditto the fact that it was worth repeating the last chapter. It was like Stairway to Heaven turned into a show.Humour was plentiful ('Which the competition consists of very fat blond men in leather shorts burping to the tune: 'She'll come round the mountain', is no actual accomplishment'). A lot of ingenuity (Hailed from Cambridge?) and acting was superb.The fact that most of the best actors from the last three series (Tim McInnery, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie; etc) was cast is what makes it the supreme last Blackadder.I have not added a spoiler warning because I think this is what everyone needs to know about before watching.

When the Millennium was coming close they built a special building in London called the Millennium Dome, they made this special film to be played in the cinema of the Dome. Richard Curtis and Ben Elton's wonderful comedy sitcom characters have returned after ten years to do a special final edition to the saga (the final member of the Blackadder family, to date). Rowan Atkinson as Lord Edmund Blackadder and his friends George (Hugh Laurie), Melchett (Stephen Fry), Darling (Tim McInnerny) and Lady Elizabeth (Miranda Richardson) sit down to dinner to celebrate the New Year, new Century and Millennium. The very good Baldrick (Tony Robinson) is also there providing a disgusting dinner. Blackadder then tells his chums he has made a time machine, he shows them and he bets them £10,000 each that he can time travel and bring back historical items. They all except the bet and ask for separate items. It's after Baldrick and Blackadder get into the machine and pull a lever that they do actually time travel, but it was meant to be a prank! Also starring Rik Mayall as Robin Hood (Woof!), Colin Firth as William Shakespeare, Kate Moss as Maid Marian and Patsy Byrne as Nursie. It was nominated the BAFTA Situation Comedy Award. Edmund Blackadder was number 3 on The 100 Greatest TV Characters, and he was number 3 on The World's Greatest Comedy Characters. Very good!
