Tweetienator's rating
The Red Sonja movie with Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger, despite its many flaws, got at least the mighty power of cheese. This Red Sonja? I watched episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess who are masterpieces in comparison. First of all, the character of Red Sonja and the story got not much to do with the works of Robert E Howard. So why call it Red Sonja and not something like Gen Z Warrior Princess? Anyway, if you like the works of Robert E. Howard, do yourself a favor and skip this one, you won't miss anything. As I do not know the comics I can't compare those to the movie, but to be sure, this movie is no recommendation to put those on my reading list. The production is also no invitation to watch this one - the budget is limited to a more or less rather cheap done episode of a generic fantasy TV production. Disappointing.
The production is solid - and that's about it. Rule number one before watching: abandon all brains at the many gates to hell. Example: a spaceship crashes into Earth, smashing right into a major city and everyone is somehow surprised...
The side story (or better major plot) with our heroine doesn't help either - she got Marvelesque superpowers and I'm just waiting for Captain America and the Justice League to show up.
Writers these days seem even unable to craft anything worth watching even if they got epic source material, let alone invent something original. If you put your brain in sleep mode, this might fill some spare time. But be warned: the endless blabla is hard to endure. I mean hard. Last note: I read a lot of pulp fiction comics whose stories are (almost) Shakespearean-stuff compared...
My rating: 3 - plus 1 point for the production only (which is good).
Very last note: maybe there is really a world wide conspiracy in action to transform us all (but the very few) to brainless zombies ;)

The movie is so stupid, that it is almost good. Almost. Sadly it misses the power of cheese... What you get is some Robin Hood in Switzerland, okayish action scenes, and words spoken you can't remember a few seconds later, but it doesn't matter. You can see that there is some production value but instead of making some European cinematic historic piece a la La Reine Margot (a fine movie by the way) or take the tour of a theatrical approach (Schiller, you know) you get a movie that tries to copy everything bad and ridiculous in many American movie productions these days: stupid behavior, the always same characters put in every context imaginable, blabla that is just blabla to fill the time to the next action sequence, which is of course unrealistic and exaggerated in every possible and stupid way. Anyway, if you need something to lull your brains to a peaceful stupor, this Wilhelm Tell will do.
