A reason for my 10 points to this film: This movie as many Disney films, innovates various special effect techniques, the first CGI effects sequences, besides the film scrip's takes the liberty to put in a different plane the Frank Baum characters, not a extension of first movie Wizard of Oz, nevertheless like a groan stinking like a bad undigested hamburger, The new generations give a big rank to bastard crap like "Fast&Stupid", oops, "Fast&Furious", but ignorance, lack of curiosity, also can be a big laziness in their brains to look lost gems like this, plus the exceptional performances of the cast really deserves give a big rank to the movie (nevermind if this came from Disney), always i searching of rare jewels, Disney has many good films, swimming in the ocean of too commercial titles.In fact, i'm not a consummate critic, but really disappoints see titles as Twilight lacks of innovative points can reach more rank instead rare gems like this. Its a pity.

Deliberately the movie has a plenty scenes of parody of the Conan the Barbarian style films, i've watched this in a BETA videocassette release, i found the end credits full of the bloopers occurred during in filming, Bo Svenson take the matter as a tongue cheek humorous attitude to make this "thrash" movie, added the special effects Ed Wood trademark,for many late adolescents won't take this movie seriously, but a nostalgic feeling comes companies in remember the movie, of course. Not released in cinema, i found this in video if anyone want ask if this movie passed through cinema marquees, never i heard about them, only few scenes cut or may i must say were steal ed was posted in another TV spots in Mexican open TV networks...but this film cab be found in the thrash movies sharing place with Udo Bowel or Allen Smithee films.

I suspect the multiple Nietszche references was deleted and this remake was done in the "politik correctness" manners to not offend some people, by the way, the multiple patches sewed in this remake really quits off the tasteful meanings and color of the Robert E. Howard roots to became in a "happy, pang-pang-jump-air spinning-martial arts and action sequence...as a pancake full of air bubbles inside but too flamboyant look.

A pity for Marcus Nispel, this director shows more artfulness in other movies as Pathfinder, in this movie seems was made with line above him to diminished all his skills to obtain a forgettable movie.
