Creed H This is stupidest movie I have ever seen. Please watch it. It's the best thing ever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review ryan b A classic 80s fantasy movie, not the most polished but definitely a fun watch. Yeah the script isn't the best but guaranteed no one who has seen it will forget the 3 bladed sword. If you haven't seen it, you should, if you have you probably enjoyed it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Audience Member One of the many classic fantasy epics from the 1980s like Conan and Ladyhawke Titus Cromwell is an evil king that resurrects a dark sorcerer, Xusia of Delos to rule the civilized worlds A young boy is then given a triple-bladed sword, his name is Prince Talon who rediscovers his royal heritage His father was actually King Richard who was Cromwell's rival In the quest for revenge for his mother's death and the overthrown kingdom he finds a damsel in distress but a princess But he must also face witches, assassins, and dark magic Good production values, nice fantastic feel, although some of the music is a bit misguided and there's a budget restraint in many areas Not a lot of character to be honest Still for an old fantasy tale it's serviceable Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Richard D It had potential but the script as a whole has implications of incest which the characters don't seem to care about. The main character is the rightful heir to the throne but his long-lost siblings are planning the revolution. The sword and the sorcerer are barely used. The sorcerer has a cool entrance but he is in disguise for most of the film. There are clear signs of missing and or deleted scenes. Also, the actors have no idea how to fight. Best part if the set pieces and art direction. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Chris M Saw this in the theater when it came out. It remains one of the best films in the sword & sorcery genre'. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review Johnathon W Cheesy fantasy film that has not aged well. The cast delivers campy performances at best, though Richard Mull is nicely imposing as the Sorcerer, with some pretty cool make-up, even if he is underused (like the sword, for that matter). The story is nonsensical and you will find yourself confused over who the characters are. However, if you are able to watch it with a Rifftrax's commentary, makes for a fun watch, but not on its own.
