Aug 02, 2015Having revisited this film more than 30 years since I last saw it as a boy, I enjoyed "Krull" even more that I did then. The special effects are surprisingly strong for a film made in 1983 (for the most part), and the film score is excellent. Costumes are cheap but effective. The acting is dismal, but you do get to enjoy early performances from the likes of Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane. "Krull" is enjoyable as silly, retro fantasy fun.Christian C Super Reviewer

May 15, 2013Early 80's cheesefest with plenty of ideas ripped off from Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, and notably Star Wars. Pretty dumb idea to throw half-retarded Storm Trooper look-alikes with laser-firing swords in the mix of vague storytelling of a rescue fantasy. I also wonder what drew Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane to star in this mess as their early roles.Max G Super Reviewer

Sep 12, 2010Peter Yates' underrated but enjoyable sci-fi fantasy film is worth a look despite a predictable formulaic plot, it contains plenty of creativity and some impressive practical visual effects. The story concerns the planet Krull, which has been besieged by an evil entity known as the Beast. It inhabits a mountainous black fortress that changes location at every sunrise. A young prince named Colwyn, superbly played by Ken Marshall, who embarks on a perilous quest with his loyal band of companions to destroy the evil Beast, after his father is slain, and his beloved princess kidnapped and imprisoned within the black fortress. Fine direction by the late Peter Yates, with solid supporting performances by Lysette Anthony, Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis, Liam Neeson, Bernald Bresslaw, and Robbie Coltrane. A lush score by the late great James Horner. Recommended.Danny R Super Reviewer
