I swear I saw Xena and Hercules....

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2007)

Completely and utterly entertaining....
This is really like Willow or any other action / adventure / fantasy film around. If you watched Xena or Hercules then yo've seen this. It might try to play it straighter, but really....
Fine effort is made by all - but boy you had better be watching with your cheesomatic goggles on full. Great, great fun: silly swordplay and lots of objects flying in all directions; Rome full of evil Goths and bad senators, then suddenly we're in Britain....
This one is definitely for the guilty pleasure. It ain't no Gladiator or 300; more like the old 60s Sinbad films - I guarantee any eleven year old boy will love it - just don't start thinking or it'll ruin it immediately.
The time flies by - and it is watchable. Just leave your thinking brain outside and you'll enjoy it. Just don't comment on lighting, direction, costumes etc; all adequate but definitely not big film: will do well on Cable / Satellite and as a New Year movie.
For my money pleasant enough, but horrible if you start thinking in anyway whatsoever...
Cheezy, breezy, and brain easy 5/10
