Watched this at work last night and thought it was... alright.
Can see what they were trying to do but it ending up rather "bitty" - lots of seperate scenes that were quite disparete and did'nt gel together at all.
I was distracted mainly by two things:
(1) James Purefoy's ability to, within a sentence of dialogue, appear in turns to be Vigo Moregenstern/Hugh Jackman/Robert Carlyle
(2) The lack of funds and,especially, shooting in leafless English woods gave it a real feel of Hawk The Slayer - a cult film for no discernible reason.

Starting off as a place to show my 2000AD-themed projects, its mutated into a diary of what i'm up to in the SF & Fantasy modelling hobby. And the odd rant, review and ramble.

Oh my god, Hawk the Slayer!!!
Wow. That movie really hit me at an impressionable age.
Hawk the Slayer is the pits, one of the worst sword and sorcery movie's made, up next to Beastmaster Red Sonja and Ladyhawke.
I dunno, the Elf in it was more Elf-like than anything in the LOTR films. Does suffer from having Bernard Breslaw in a serious role though i admit.
Do like it for its cheap charm though. But, for me, best of all the low budget, z-list fantasy films is The Sword And The Sorceror.
