not good, but not that bad
I thought it was great fun. Much more enjoyable than most multi million dollar budget films these days
Just a good fun adventure.
Rating this a 2.7 whilst garbage like justice league or other massive "blockbusters" slip away with a 5-6-7 is absurd.
Rate films for what they are and films they compete with in the genre as opposed to comparing this to a massive budget flick.
Anyway, intro rant over.
The film is great fun, great costumes actually. The wardrobe department did damn good and the actors do a great job.
The story is quite interesting. A bit by the book and slightly rushed between sections but it cuts to the chase and delivers impactful scenes instead of focusing too much on the traversal between scenes.
Hey, I'll accept that. Keeps things moving and it's fun to explore different approaches.
The fight choreography is a little bit wooden but visually this is really well made and effects wise it's not bad at all either.
Made me wish they had improved choreography more since the really pumped a lot of work into making sure all their characters look quite damn cool and indimidating.
PLUS we got sexy amazons here. Thats' a whole point in itself in my score.
No BS hollywood pandering political nonsense. Just actors looking damn good and acting well.
It also features a heroes journey with struggles as oopposed to being perfect and invincible. We see a believable heroes journey to improve himself and not let his ego and overconfidence get in the way of things.
Overall this film is real eye-candy for what it's worth. Comparatively to other lower budget fan-flicks I gotta say this is one of the best ones I've seen.
Very enjoyable and fun to kick back with if you want to explore some fun sword and sorcery action fantasy.
7 out of 10. A damn good and enjoyable film. Held back by some lacking coreography and bit rushed transitions. It would've been better if they had spent maybe 15-20 minutes more just to add to that. Which would've been cool too and explored more dialog between our 2 main characters who's dynamics are very good.
Go watch it fellas and fellaretes. It's well worth your time if you're into exploring lower budget sword and sorcery with an open mind.
