Wonderful film

This is true fantasy art.

Wonderful sets, awesome costumes and make-up, good acting with a simple story.
80's Fantasy might be scoffed at for looking cheap and quirky, but I think the bar is set really high, because of the practical effects and the effort put in to make it work.

Everything worked really well.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

It's gorgeous. Such lush visuals.

Incredibly beautiful film. I’m so glad I finally saw it. Good practical effects and a visual director who actually knows what he is doing will trump CGI and mindless superhero clashes every time.

One of riddleys best films and one of the best 80s fantasy movies, with an amazing cast, sets and the soundtrack is wonderful too!

Which soundtrack? Jerry Goldsmith or Tangerine Dream?

[–] einstein (2427) 22 days ago

I prefer the goldsmith one, but the tangerine version isnt bad either. what do you think?

[–] pjl69 (2497) 22 days ago

Glad to hear. I definitely prefer Goldsmith and the director's cut. I have Tangerine Dream's soundtrack on vinyl, though.
