There's something inescapably appealing about this camp 1983 StarWars-meets-The Lord of the Rings knockoff that encourages the viewerto overlook its many silly shortcomings and simply enjoy the fun. James Horner'srollicking music score certainly helps, as does the epic-scale CinemaScopephotography of the breathtaking Italian landscapes. The costumes and extravagantproduction design are also great to look at, and much of Derek Meddings's visualeffects work still looks striking. Freddie Jones stands head and shoulders abovethe rest of the cast as the wise Ynyr, while the two romantic leads, KenMarshall as Prince Colwyn and Lysette Anthony (with an overdubbed Americanvoice) as Princess Lyssa, are mere formalities on which to hang the plot. Theall-British supporting cast includes Todd Carty, Bernard Bresslaw, RobbieColtrane, Liam Neeson, and the gorgeous Francesca Annis. If you feel the needfor some escapist sword-and-sorcery fantasy, then Krull delivers in fullmeasure. --Mark Walker

Rating: - Krull: A Masterpiece of 80's Cheesiness
Oh goodness... this is the kind of movie that is watched a million times in somebody's dork-haven basement where all the Dungeons-and-Dragons and Magic-the-Gathering sessions are held.

Film is well worth watching. Story line was entertaining and the directing and cast were surpurb.

The premise is there for a good triumphing ... Read More
