    Great movie. Great cast.

    Big fan of Richard Donner but wow was this film a snoozefest! I'll stick to The Sword and the Sorcerer for medieval cheesiness thank you.

    Watchable sword and sorcery with an all-star cast.

    An old classic renaissance favorite! Love story Rutger Hauer and Matt Broderick were fantastic!! Unmatched beauty and grace by the "ladyhawk" mmmm! Excellent!!

    This is an interesting fantasy movie, and I liked it, but it could have been better. I didn't like the beginning of the movie, and the silly pop music during the fights didn't help, but Broderick's character really grows on you, he's cute. Good story and characters, but bad music.

    I thought this was cute when I saw it as a child but I'm not sure what I would think now. Not a very favourable review would come up, probably.
  • December 18, 2009
    A great sword and sorcery tale.
  • October 19, 2009
    Over all a good movie but the music didnt suit the movie. was too modern which was a shame.
