KRULL (1983) MOVIE REACTION | First Time Watching |  

Still one of my favorite fantasy movies of all times. Great fight scenes, monsters, Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis, and the soundtrack by James Horner. Never understood why it failed. Still love it

used to watch this a lot as a kid, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Yep this used to be on tv all the time still is

Ya that's my man Horner. This is my favorite score of his. Plus the location shoots are amazing.

amazing music and some incredible designs

I saw it in 1983 in the cinema and one of my favorites

Fyi...Lysette Anthony as Lyssa. Her voice was re-dubbed by American actress Lindsay Crouse as the producers wanted the Princess to have a more mature-sounding voice. From the Wikipedia page for the film.

Apparently this was a verry expensive movie to make

One of my childhood movies that was quite epic at the time...even today it still holds up strong...but a big mistake when it was released in 1983 due to the adult viewers compared it to star wars and that everybody's minds were focused on stars wars return of the Jedi in 1983 instead of Krull that led this movie to become underrated but mind you the kids at the time loved this movie...and years after it's release it seems to get more likes from the modern audience because most of the modern audience were not around 1983 which would lead them not to compare it to star wars...and this is what led this movie to become a cult classic, And as this was filmed in the UK they play this movie on certain channels within the UK like every time that's been going on since probably near it's first release, And I have to mention that the very first time when I watched this as a toddler It scared me so much when it got to the moment where they revealed the cyclops...even the spider scene and the main villain scared me back then which gave me nightmares...but these moments never stopped me from watching it over and over again because it was an epic type movie back then but I would look away from the moments that were scary to me...and I was a big fan of the glaive weapon which is one of the most iconic weapons in the history of cinema...and yes this weapon showed up in ''Ready player one'' and I have to mention that when I was a kid I use to make one out of cardboard and threw it across my garden 😅. But yeah it's a fun type movie with great music and great cinematography...it's like something from a dream that's based on a fantasy...especially other 80s movies like 'Legend', 'Dark Crystal', and 'Labyrinth' that were also my childhood movies.

Krull could never hold my interest even though I like fantasy. Maybe it’s the pacing because the story held up. The spider scenes were some of my favorite in the film as well. Some special effects always threw me off, like the fire in the hands.

Don't be Cheeky 😅
