...doesn’t need a laugh-track; there’s such a succession of such weird miscalculations, it’s inevitable that you’ll end up making your own entertainment...

Ator is a film so grossly incompetent on every conceivable level that it makes any detailed critical analysis pointless.

Gone With The Twins

It's an incredibly tame take on wicked tyrants, muscular fighters, scantily-clad warrior women, and seductive sorceresses.

Rated: 1/10

There is so much bad in this movie but not painfully bad, fun bad. But not fun enough to call it so bad it's good either. The cinematography is pretty bad. So bad you'd think Robert Eggars zipped back in time to direct a couple of scenes. The monsters are cheap and the effects. But it can be a great movie to riff during a pizza night. But as a serious action movie, it's just meh at best.

Ator the Fighting Eagle comes to the land of myth and legend, only to disappoint with one of the most cliched and worst sword and saddle films of all time.

Incest, Miles O'Keeffe, and a baby bear? Who cares if it's incoherent beyond measure and incompetent beyond belief, just so long as you've got the RiffTrax commentary to carry you through. SECOND VIEWING: Imagine taking all of the byzantine mythology of something like LOTR or CONAN, then stripping it of character, depth, and coherenceâ"throw in a little incest, and this is the stink you get.

Everything about this barbarian movie feels cheap. The storyline is weak, the storytelling is clumsy and the editing is rough. The scene in which Ator tries to convince his father to marry his own sister after confessing his love to her is priceless.

The first of the Ator series. Ator: The Fighting Eagle is a cheesy Italian sword and sorcery film about a young man who bears the mark of the Taurus who is destined to fight of the evil forces in a tribal world. One of the worst fantasy films I've ever seen, it is no wonder the sequels scored an even lower rating.
