I have to admit that I loved this movie — it’s completely campy, it doesn’t take itself seriously for a moment, and it has few redeeming qualities. The actors — which is a loose description of what they are doing on screen — look like they are having a ball filming this over-the-top sword-and-sorcery outing, and it’s hard not to share in the fun. The heroes are musclebound, the damsel-in-distress is pretty and spunky, the bad guy is a caricature of bad-guys. What more can you wish for?

Frankly, any movie that includes a girl in a cage commenting on the arrival of her two rescuers with “And look at the size of you two! This is Ismina’s lucky day!” gets a pass from me. It’s fun.
