What a hoot.
This has got to be one of the purest and simplest sword and sorcery movies I've ever seen. It's got a great balance of non-epic cheese, completely reasonable plot, unseriously fine acting and action, action, action. It's got ugly beastial hordes commanded by an evil wizard, man-hating tree nymphs with amazonian skills, flaming arrows, a wise and dying king, a reluctant hero, a scheming prince, a headstrong daughter who can fight. It's even got ninjas.
Everything, everything everything you want in a feel-good, non-self-important movie you get in this one. Pure fun. Great casting. Just do it.
