Rating:  - Perhaps the film that has started this fashion
KRULL, witchcraft, sorcery, princess and a hero savior, are in this film packed with the earlier FX in blue screen. Shooted in England and directed by Peter Yates (Bullit & The Deep)
Rating:  - Quit Comparing to Star Wars and Enjoy
Look I know this isn't on the same level as Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, but it wasn't ever intended to be. It's an entertaining, somewhat cheesy, sci-fi adventure that is a bit too long but has good action scenes and cool characters. All you sci-fi snobs need to get off your pedastools and love this awesomely bad movie.
Rating:  - Not the best fantasy
I saw Krull when it first came out in theaters, and while I must concede that the plot is rather lame, 2 things stand out for me in this fantasy movie: the musical score, and the part where Prince Colwyn and the robbers catch and ride the fabulous Firemares. That was my favorite part of the movie, as I am an avid horse-lover, and recognized the horses as Clydesdales right off. That fantasy ride on those Clydesdales would strongly appeal to any genuine horse-lover,and make the movie a must-have for horse-lovers. Plus, the music adds an unforgettable aspect to this wonderful fantasy sequence. No, it's not a great movie, but it was made to be a fun fantasy, not an Oscar contender.
Rating: - Awesomely Bad
If you're after a spellbinding epic, watch one of the Lord of the Rings movies. If you're looking for an awesomely campy 80's film, complete with cyclops, fire-mares, and flying sword-frisbees, then this movie is for you. An awesomely good time, but not something I would ever want to watch alone.
Rating: - Golden Oldie
In the days of the Arcades there was a good movie that came out (and funny enough had a great Arcade game) called Krull. Now mind you, I really had no idea what this movie was all about before i saw it (when i was a whole bunch younger) just saw the 5 bladed "glaive" and was sold but now as an adult i find i still like this movie and it reminds me of a true dungeons and dragons style adventure then almost any other movie (including those terrible scifi D&D movies ugh) it starts off with a prince and of course a princess yes been done before many many times but then in come the Slayers and from then on its a totally different experience. with such ultimate favorites as the Emerald Seer, The Widow of the Web and the Cyclops and of course the shapeshifting (a bit daft too) wizard with some very strange habits (i dare not tell you so as not to ruin it) but this is a classic movie and it will be good for generations to come.
Pros: cool effects (for the time) good story well done plot and themes
cons: may be a bit too old for some and not flashy enough. but remember it is a tad old.
its a 5 star easily some may not agree but judge the movie on its merits and not against those of today and anyone can see the care and detail that made this movie great!
