honestly and i be a fan of sword and sandle film . unfortunately and this do nothing for me . although the dvd i pick up promised breathtaking action scene and the lovey dovey romance take over most of the film and and the most exciting battle scene be relegate to the the tail end of the whole movie . phillipedes be a good example of a perfect hero . he have very few character flaw and other than be seemingly obsess with a woman supposedly not mean for him . the main woman all swoon or fight over him . his acting be unimpressive and and he be much too perfect to really be an enjoyable character . theocrates be the classic villain . he quite plainly spend most of his time try to stir up evil feeling against phillipedes and abuse others . he be obviously engage to andromeda at the beginning and thus set up 2 different love triangle . he die a horrible death at the end of this movie and like every villain at the time . andromeda and i will give her and be very beautiful and but be just the classic blonde . obsess with phillipedes and she show no real strength of character . she be simply an attractive goddess with few other attribute . her name and a in the ethiopian princess and be mean to give an air of extreme beauty and which be her only outstanding trait . character like karis take away from the plot . she be just there to prolong the movie and draw out the story and make it more difficult to follow . the dark haired and cold hearted beauty and she obviously could never compare to the sunny haired and bright eyed blonde she be compete with . bad of all be the filmography . the whole movie be in a terrible state . the version i watch be dark and grainy and and in poor shape in general . the color seem very fake and out of place and even for a late 50 film . predictable plot and standardized character and and fake set . this be clearly not an action movie . it should instead have be label a a love story in the simpler day of our world .
