Tales of an Ancient Empire

I agree with jewel5's review, I had not seen Lee Horsley in anything since he did the series "Paradise", He was a very popular actor in the 1980's. He had the starring role in " Sword and the Sorcerer", and I thought this was a sequel to his character "Talon". I was totally wrong about that, he had a very small cameo role and was listed as "The Stranger"?? This movie was a mess from the beginning, and Michael Pare's acting was terrible, he sounds like he is reading "Q" cards. I guess Lee Horsley's acting career is limited to "cameo" roles of less than "B" movies now, this is a shame that a gifted actor such as Horsley is reduced to this because of his age(mid 50's I believe). I rated this a 1 out of 10, but it should be a 0 out of ten!!

coogee-577-681676 must be either high on drugs or trolling to call this piece of crap 'the best film of the 21st Century so far'.

This is no joke, this movie could win without a problem the most retarded, poor and amateur movie since its first part in the 80s. The film is so poor and ugly, so lacking that the producer could take the gun and shoot himself before annoying the world with such a devastatingly retarded film.

The result of it is it managed to win a large amounts of haters. In fact, the movie needs to be boycotted as well as further 'movies' of this excuse of a director.

I watched this movie because I'm a fan of Kevin Sorbo and I love fantasy type movies. Why Kevin why did you do this film? I have now seen the worst movie ever made...seriously. If you would have told me this was a high school theater project, I would have believed it. The acting was the worst, except for Kevin, who tried with what little he had. The backdrops looked like paintings in some places...paintings!! Don't waste your time here, I could have made a better looking and more coherent story with my sonycam. I don't know what's with the paid shills giving this movie good reviews, but trust me, it's the worst, dare I call it a movie, ever made, without a doubt.

I don't really know what to say. I think I can make better CGI in paint, and the acting is better in porno movies. Kevin Sorbo did a good job, but you get the same amount of good acting in the Hercules TV show. Melissa Ordway on the other hand, wow, you know she got this part for her pretty face, not her acting skills. If you want some kind of adventure, STAY AWAY! Go for a walk in a park and hit a tree with a twig. Wow! Much better fun than this movie... Catwoman is better than this movie... It might seem like I am only bitching, but I feel like I need to warn people about this half made movie...Oh yes, this is only part 1...and no part 2 has been started...

This is the first movie I have reviewed here, and I do so as a response to those who are praising this movie.

I don't know how anyone can honestly praise this movie, it is a shear mess. Editing and pacing were terrible, production quality below most TV episodes. I'm sure the actors did the best they could with what they had but what they had wasn't much.

This movie is in no way near as enjoyable as "The Sword and the Sorcerer", it is in no way nearly as coherent. This movie made little sense, even with the ham-fisted exposition. The trailer for this movie was better than the movie!

Maybe this mess could be salvaged by throwing it into the category of "so bad it's good", and that's a big maybe.

There are only two suggestions I have for watching this movie: either watch it inebriated or, simplest of all, not at all.
