i saw this one recently. dark atmosphere makes this fairy tale something remarkable, the dialogs are good and so is the cast. i'd appreciate better video quality but hey, it was made in 1982.

the music was really bad. i regard Karel Svoboda but this one was too much. electro-medieval music mixture didn't work at all, it ruined the show. the synths which were supposed to substitute real instruments were incredibly poor.

i wonder who made the costume because it reminded me flash gordon, masters of universe and flicks like that. children may surely enjoy this one if they like dark fairy tales (with good end)...

I find this movie "a bit" overrated among the audience. I saw it at the first time at our local cinema and I spent the whole movie laughing. When the film was in the grand finale, I noticed almost all people are crying and I couldn't understand why. Don't think I'm emotionless, for example when I saw "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" I cried very much... But this is absolutely another sort of movie, it's like hundred tons of cliché packed together in just one film. Add to this horrid acting (Steve? What have you done?) and dumb storyline. On the other hand, there are many positive moments and mainly thanks to very cool special effects and at least the movie absolutely isn't boring.

Made for masses, appreciated by the masses. Aren't there enough films where Americans save the Earth?
