There are only 3 categories you need to make a Sword & Sorcery film:
Swords/fighting:
- No big battle scenes.
- Really bad sword fighting... this is a big downer for a S&S film.
Muscles/boobs:
- No nudity. Downright disgraceful for a Sword and Sorcery film.
- Not one muscled dude to be found. Immediate -5 stars.
- Main actor was big.... and fat for a S&S film.
Creative plot/enemies:
+ The sets and locations were very well for the budget
+ Annnnnd all the money went into the clothing and creature designs.
+ The lead bad guy had the only good acting in the entire film.
- There wasn't a drop of acting anywhere, everyone was stiff as boards.
