I really don't know why this film does not have the recognition it should.OK granted it has a cheesy and cliché plot.A Prince tries to save his princess from the ultimate space evil.And you can find 100 plot holes but...Still...It is an 80s fantasy movie...You just suspend your disbelief a little bit more than usual and that is all you need to enjoy an entertaining movie.Cliché but classical and enjoyable Hero/Chosen one story, AMAZING (AMAZING!!!!) soundtrack,pretty good acting,a few unique characters and the usual 80s atmosphere we all know and love.
One can say a lot about the death of aesthetics during the 80s but what movies had back then was atmosphere.Photography ,lighting and cheap but well crafted stages. A feeling of (alternate?)reality that really could immerse you even in the most cheesiest of flicks. The best proof that is that even now 30 years later, with the audience eyes trained in all the crazy SGI, these movies still give the same unique feeling in terms of atmosphere, just as they did back then....
Krull has that exact feeling of its time.And the Glaive..Which fantasy buff cannot dream himself wielding such a weapon.(Yeah I know geeky as hell but true!).Any way if you enjoy this particular genre don't even think of not seeing Krull.
Cheesy, Corny but It has everything a good fantasy movie needs to be entertaining...Give it a chance....
