42nd ave. sloppy seconds
11 November 2003
THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER is one sloppy, schlocky, terribly unfocused mountain of melted cheese. This was basically a 42nd ave version of a combination of THE EXCALIBUR & CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Even if I was halfway into the movie, I still didn't know who was who and who was the "hero". I was really surprised that I didn't like it as much as I thought I'd would. I mean, a HERCULES movie is more fun than this film. The whole thing is so unfocused and muddled that everything coalesced into one big block of melted cheese. It's not laughably bad as in a "it's so bad it's good" flick. It's just junk.
