Audience Member Watching some of the old MST3K episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix (there is a different random selection on each platform). Whether it is Joel or Mike watching these awful movies with the bots I do not envy their torture. Their snarky comments add some entertainment value, but my ratings are based on the movie's quality itself and not the commentary broadcast from the satellite of love. AKA The Sword and the Dragon. Russian director Aleksandr Ptushko had two films featured on MST3K, this one and Sampo AKA The Day the Earth Froze. This time we get a Russian Medieval myth with the story of our hero Ilya Muromets becoming a knight and great leader. Lots of fantasy magic and a convoluted plot that again American audiences may have trouble following because these myths and characters are not things many of us are familiar with from childhood. The barbarian hordes seem based on the Mongols and Genghis Khan. Almost cartoonish in shot composition, effects, character development, and action. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Just sit back and assume you are going to see something so strange that you'll either flee to reruns of Beastmaster, or fall in love with an enchanting film unlike anything you've ever seen--Surreal. . .Bizarre. . .you gotta love it!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a spectacle of a film that unfortunately is no less than ridiculous at times. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting Russian film, but it is pretty bad. The sets are pretty good though, and costumes are neat, and while the dragon is cheesy, it's a pretty fun movie, and MST3K adds even more fun to it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Its ridiculous. Its corny. Its hokey. The Acting is over the top. Its all around hilarious...and yet the cheapo special effects are kind of great and the story is decent. Not the best movie in the world, and certainly not one with the best budget...but it kind of overcame that and is somehow fun.
