The Sword and the Sorcerer

“A kingdom ruled by evil. A princess enslaved by passion. A warrior driven by justice.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 60, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A swaggering mercenary takes on an evil ruler with a sword that appears to have been designed by a committee of overexcited teenagers. The fantasy is proudly pulpy, the magic is theatrical, and restraint has clearly been banished from the kingdom.
