This Red Sonja deserves credit for incorporating some feminist and even ecological themes into its fantasy world mix, but it’s not enough to compensate for the overall cheesiness and, worse, dullness of the overly long proceedings.

A sword-and-sorcery epic that can’t swing the 'epic' part.

Someone somewhere must have done a punch-up on the script, because every now and then a reasonably witty quip arrives out of nowhere before the dialogue reverts to faux medieval speak.

Rated: 2/5

Apart from putting the character in the chain-mail bikini from the comic there is nothing here that will have anyone talking about bothering to do another version of this story in the next 40 years.

Actually pretty entertaining. Made the low budget, B-movie aesthetic part of the appeal. Matilda Lutz is great

Even with M.J. Bassett at the helm and the compelling Matilda Lutz as the lead, Red Sonja fails to deliver the impact that the titular character deserves.

Rated: 2/5

Matilada Lutz, thank you for bringing a character I have adored for decades to life! I really enjoyed the film and your performance. Glad I had the privilege to see it in a theater.

I understand remakes but this was so off from the original they should of called it something different. The only thing they kept from the original was the armor. The movie would be a below average Netflix movie but for a big screen movie it was really bad. I was such a fan of the 80s version with Arnold Schwarzenegger that I gave it a chance. Greatly disappointed.
