I remember that when i saw this for the first time i wasn´t very impressed. I remember that i didn´t like the "laser" beams that came out of the bad guys weapons. I remember thinking KRULL wanted to be a STAR WARS but it wasn´t very good at it.

Then as the years passed, i got to watch KRULL on video, and somehow i started realy to like this movie. By this time i had read a couple of fantasy books and i started to appreciate the attention to details in KRULL and the way the whole concept was organized as a movie.

Since then, each time i see it, i realy enjoy it more. Ok, it´s not the perfect fantasy movie, but compared to the usual more recent unimaginative excuses for movies that come out of Hollywood, (see "Neverending Story III" or "Warriors of Virtue"),this movie KRULL is a brilliant fantasy masterpiece.

KRULL has an excelent and different atmosphere, a much, much better script than WILLOW, excellent characters, a fantastic magic weapon, a good set design and it follows the Dungeon and Dragons formula in a very imaginative way, compared to the more recent movies.

The actors do their jobs well, (try to spot Leam Neeson) the situations are imaginative and the soundtrack is realy good and very atmospheric also.

The only minor fault in this production, is the way in wich we can immediately tell, when the outdoor scenes are filmed in indoor studios, because there is immediately a big contrast between the natural magnificent landscapes and the ones that are built in the studio. Which is a shame because sometimes it spoils the movie atmosphere. Anyway, who cares! KRULL is an excellent fantasy movie, and someone should make a directors cut from it and re-release it, because it might teach many hollywood executives how a good fantasy movie should be made. Even with its flaws !

A fantastic High Fantasy movie ! Go see it. It´s a shame this movie is so forgotten. Excelent stuff.

I was very surprised when I saw this money years ago. I had VERY low expectations for this fantasy film but it turned out to be a pretty good film--with an interesting story and decent acting. About the only disappointment was Krull's weapon the "glave"--it was really neat but he never really got to use it very much. Oh well. In fact, years later, I watched the film again (and I rarely watch films more than once) because it was just mindless fun. I do think, though, that those who really don't like medieval fantasy films still won't have their opinions changed by the film, but those willing to at least, on occasion, see this type of film (and that's definitely me) will have an enjoyable time.

"Krull" is a long way from being the worst fantasy film ever made, "Dungeons & Dragons" gets that dishonour but it is not the best either. Instead it is a fun and engaging film, with a lot of the basic elements to make it memorable. The story is a touch too simplistic and the special effects aren't as spectacular as those you would find in say "The NeverEnding Story". Plus there are one or two moments of cheesy dialogue. But this is all compensated by some wonderful looking sets and costumes, a truly terrifying villain, a brilliant scene with The Widow of the Web, chillingly played by Francessca Annis and spirited turns from Ken Marshall, Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane and especially Bernard Beeslaw and Freddie Jones. Plus the music score is excellent. Overall, this isn't perfect, but it really isn't that bad. 7/10 Bethany Cox
