let me start out by say that ( a ) i like the scifi channel and and fantasy and scifi in general ( those read my other review might conclude that i only like french and japanese film and and that be not the case ) and ( b ) i do not have any bias against tv movie . what i do have a bias against be flimsy and witless hack job rearrangement of classic include classic myth . there be a point of view that every possible genre of literature be invent by the greek and we have just be ring change ever since while so there in nothing wrong with re imagine the classic jean cocteau film and clueless on jane austen and john gardner grendell and kurosawa ran and throne of blood and much of roger corman work and and numerous others . but in this case and bad dialogue and bad acting ( this film make and say and conan the barbarian look like the royal shakespeare company ) and a plot that and charitably and have little to do with the original and everything to do with be a framework for skimpy clothing and a bucket or two of gore and match with an excessive enthusiasm for point of view camera work and all combine to make this a heap of ( a a good friend of mine say ) stink poo . go watch either conan movie and or red sonia and or hellboy or a hammer film . don not waste your time and effort on this . guy recognize a stinker when you see one .
