A good movie

This movie is definitely one of my childhood favorites. Indeed, if I remember it correctly, I even saw this flick in the theater when I was a kid and I really loved it back then. So, it was with great pleasure that I re-watched it recently with my step-son. Eventually, even though it is now more than 20 years old, in my opinion, it still holds up pretty good and it remains a really enjoyable fantasy feature and it is definitely one of the best in this genre. Of course, many people would criticize George Lucas on the fact that it was way too similar to The Lord of the Rings but, like Tarantino, Lucas is known to pick up stuff from various movies and other sources and put them in his own features and that's fine with me. I have to admit it, as a grown-up, the whole thing did look pretty cheesy and I think this flick is even more enjoyable when you are a kid but it remains in my opinion a very enjoyable and sometimes rather funny adventure. To conclude, I think it is a pretty good fantasy feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
