Movie Reviews of Krull
Movie Review: Kinda cheesy but fun B movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I hadn't seen this movie in a very long time until I rented it just recently. Seeing it as an adult is another experience than seeing it as a child as I did the first time around, but it was still a lot of fun. The special effects are dated now, and the acting is a little on the corny side, but it's still a good time. I'm not much of a fan of fantasy movies, but this had enough adventure in it to take away from those aspects that usually turn me off.
The premise is there for a good triumphing over evil story, which is always a good time. Prince Colwyn and Princess Lyssa have arranged a marriage, uniting their two kingdoms as an ancient tale has told. Their son will rule the gallaxy. On the eve of their wedding, the party is attacked and crashed by an army of evil. Princess Lyssa is taken away hostage by the army of The Beast, an invader whose Black Fortress has taken hold of their world. Colwyn has nothing but a wise old man advisor, his horses, and a band of happy bumbling fool wizards and criminals (one being a young Liam Neison) to help him on his quest to rescue Lyssa and defeat The Beast.
Fairy tales are wonderful things, especially in this harsh and rather bitter times we live in. The idea of the handsome prince wanting to come and rescue the damsel in distress in the ivory tower is always a wonderful fantasy for women of any age to have. Action and adventure always appeal to us, seeing people preform great physical stunts and overcoming impossible odds is a great thing. There's enough humor in it from the awkward wizzard Ergo, to the cyclops, to the cute kid Tich that appeals to people of all ages. And it's English humor on top of it, which provides some camp and silliness that only English humor can provide. A good movie for a lazy afternoon or an evening in. Have fun with it.
Summary of Krull
The indescribable monster and its army the slayers attack the planet krull. To be able to stop the invaders two hostile nations decide to join their forces by the marriage of princess lyssa and prince colwyn. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/04/2005 Starring: Ken Marshall Freddie Jones Run time: 121 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Peter YatesThere's something inescapably appealing about this camp 1983 Star Wars-meets-The Lord of the Rings knockoff that encourages the viewer to overlook its many silly shortcomings and simply enjoy the fun. James Horner's rollicking music score certainly helps, as does the epic-scale CinemaScope photography of the breathtaking Italian landscapes. The costumes and extravagant production design are also great to look at, and much of Derek Meddings's visual effects work still looks striking. Freddie Jones stands head and shoulders above the rest of the cast as the wise Ynyr, while the two romantic leads, Ken Marshall as Prince Colwyn and Lysette Anthony (with an overdubbed American voice) as Princess Lyssa, are mere formalities on which to hang the plot. The all-British supporting cast includes Todd Carty, Bernard Bresslaw, Robbie Coltrane, Liam Neeson, and the gorgeous Francesca Annis. If you feel the need for some escapist sword-and-sorcery fantasy, then Krull delivers in full measure. --Mark Walker
