- Story: It's your basic heroic fairytale, lavishly heaped with all the magical dust that could be thrown at it at the time. Extremely enjoyable.
- Characters: Nice and simple.
- Dialogs: Very theatrical and well done.
- Scenario: Very quick development, even short. You can't get bored.
- Actors: Great performance by all. Cast members include Tim Curry, Tom Cruise and Mia Sara.
- Photography: Nice.
- Sound: Good music and score, fortunately not too 80s until the end credit.
- Special effects: Aging, unfortunately, but not too badly considering the era.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/
- Who is it for? Those who like a good fantasy movie and don't mind if it looks a little old.
This was for a long time the gold standard for fantasy movies, until TLOTR, and it still posses its magnificent aura. I consider it one of Ridley Scott's finest piece.
I'll review the Director's Cut at a later date.
