all the best intention go into this project . it have everything we have come to expect from the epic fantasy category represent a young hero find his destiny and a tyrannical evil which must be bring down and a secret magic that could save or destroy the world . it even have one of those unexpected cameo that can make a picture amuse and informative . so what wrong . the entire project seem to be handle in a very heavy hand manner . long expository passage of dialogue and overblown characterization and some truly terrible act . even david warner be bad and and i like david warner . for any one who think they might wish to see this film and i advise the mst3k version and or good yet and do not watch it at all .
