Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Jan Strydom One thing about TALES OF AN ANCIENT EMPIRE it can now be placed alongside John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS as one of the films with the longest pre-credit sequences that stretches for about 12 minutes long. When it does get started it shows a lot of potential in terms of plot and the cast all give competent performances all around. The look of the film isn't bad in fact but it's major downfall is that it has a terrible execution especially during the third act.The first half of the film is watchable but once it passes the hour mark it's almost like the story was rushed just to get to the end. The whole plot from there became incredibly confusing and felt like the scriptwriter Cynthia Curnan just wanted to get it done as if she got tired of working on it.The one thing that could've helped this film be more entertaining would've been to give Olivier Gruner and Sasha Mitchell's characters both a much bigger role in this film. They only make brief appearances but in that short time their characters actually seemed likable and both had great on screen chemistry. The film would've been a whole lot better if it was written as a vehicle for them.Overall, It's a potentially good concept undone by a bad execution.

ows-170-156497 I hope it has been made as a joke. Its shear awfulness makes it good for a few laughs, but I do wonder how Ralf Möller, that icon of manly muscle came to accept a role? I expect that he has lent his name to it for a few measly $, without reading the manuscript.The story in itself is not much worse than many other Hollywood plots (which does not say much), but the filming, the acting, the not-so-special-effects, the fighting, in short, everything else make this the worst movie I have ever seen. I am struggling to find enough to say here for having this review accepted, but as a service to the rest of you who as me might be tempted by 'Ralf Möller' and 'sequel to the Sword and the Sorcerer' I persevere. Just avoid it. Go to the dentist in stead.

jewel5 I watched this movie because I'm a fan of Kevin Sorbo and I love fantasy type movies. Why Kevin why did you do this film? I have now seen the worst movie ever made...seriously. If you would have told me this was a high school theater project, I would have believed it. The acting was the worst, except for Kevin, who tried with what little he had. The backdrops looked like paintings in some places...paintings!! Don't waste your time here, I could have made a better looking and more coherent story with my sonycam. I don't know what's with the paid shills giving this movie good reviews, but trust me, it's the worst, dare I call it a movie, ever made, without a doubt.

Expresso_Kid This type of production should be illegal. It's a waste of money, that could have fed many starving children somewhere in the world. It has no entertainment value. Mostly it seems like a group of former porn film actors had decided to make a non-porn film, but failed miserably. Sure you get to see some tits(which is probably the reason why some praise the movie), but even the tits are as bad in quality as the movie itself.Val Kilmer? Where? The Val Kilmer I remember was an actual actor! Not a wanna-be porn star.What I liked about the film, was that it was on DVD, so I could speed it up to finish it sooner. Breathtakingly bad movie.
