Deathstalker

Lots of sword fights and icky, slimy, shiny, wet, nasty, bloody non-animated critters and effects. Dialog varies between Shakespearean oration and everyday on the street conversational. Very odd. Sword fights were pretty good though. Excellent movie to watch while getting dinner ready or other household chores.

This movie may be campy, over the top, silly and small budget. But it is a movie clearly made with love and care by very competent people with a clear goal in mind, and it works!

The practical effects are fantastic for a film of this type, and as far as i can tell it was made without any CGI at all. The rest of the production is great too, and aside from a couple of incels complaining about the lack of nudity the positive reviews are well deserved!

If you like sword & sorcery films or great practical costumes (& campy gore-fests) then this is a film you should watch!

Deathstalker is pretty stupid but fun: It's kind of a mix of Xena and Hercules (fantasy setting, quest, humor) spiced up with a good dose of gore 'n' splatter. The production is not bad for a B-movie; the cast looks like they are having fun. The gory moments are great fun too. So, if you like sword 'n' magic flicks and you like splatter, you get an entertaining cheesy piece of cake. No doubt, only a special breed of audience will get this one, but if you belong to that family, you will find some fun and entertainment. My rate: five overall, one bonus for the effects.

Absolutely ridiculous movie. Can't tell if it's a parody or a tribute to the fantasy action movies of the 80s. This doesn't mean its bad, but it's the type of movie that you watch with friends after a few drinks, make popcorn, and just laugh at how insane it is. Surprisingly funny, whether it was trying to be or not. Awesome soundtrack.

Went to the cinema expecting a simple movie with great looking monsters and scenery. Wasn't disappointed. Surprisingly fun to watch even though I had no familiarity with the genre! The movie does not take itself seriously and I think that is just right. In one scene there are giants in the background hitting each other in the balls while the main characters discuss stuff. Just my kind of humor! The only thing I would have liked more would be more fighting scenes since the main actor is a kickass swordsman and martial artist.
