The scenery was the high point
First, I will tell what was good. The backdrop was some really spectacular country. A huge castle, a beautiful lake, wonderful meadows and mountains.
That was the high point. From there, it all went down hill really fast. I barely could discern a plot. There was a lot of very poorly slashing and hacking by people who couldn't act.
There was no "gladiatorial" combat. That was a very specific tradition of fighting. I don't even know why they used the word.
A movie like this that teases you with "sensual" needs to have some good get down naked by the end. They didn't.
It was like the guy got access to the castle for a weekend and got his buddies to come in and shoot the movie. They wanted to make a Conan movie but what came off was a confusing mess.
