@Timmy Squibs Ok timmy bed time now

@Timmy Squibs Nah, your Little Timmy the angry loser

@Timmy Squibs LMAO

This and willow that's all

@@Thoushaltplaymore willow is supreme. Aliens also 😉

Good riddance to siskel and ebert. Got no time loser critics

LOL. I usually side with them but I’m gonna give this one a chance based on the comments here.

@@knowthycell So what did you think?

Must've been awesome at the drive-in.

@@germanicelt ummmm…my 10yr old daughter said she liked it. I enjoyed it as a peek into the 80s. They definitely spent some money making this movie.

My kids love it. Siskel/Ebert were idiots. This film is a guilty pleasure. I like the film just for the score. The same guy did Star Trek 2. This movie is much better than today's drek!

Capt Flea The Glaive you seek.

Yeah, I couldn't think of it at the time. After the comment I went and checked out some clips

+Dr. Larry Mitchell If you do nor return with the Glaive, you will not return at all. But the effects were small and shit, and the magician looked very noncy. Personally I think that adds to the appeal.

Well, I preferred the girl to the glaive ;-) . The title text is very well made with the glaive whirling it into existence

Capt flea you ever making you own gkavive

+rickonami how time flys

37 here... still love it :)

40th anniversary this month!

He said, "Wait!" Right before he got crushed. Then I remembered about how Cyclops see their own deaths and to deny that will lead to a horrible death, which sounds about right

5 yo me was horrified by the guy being impaled by a slow moving spike coming out of the wall in this movie.

They called the "The Beast" Krull.... Siskel and Ebert were a bunch of blowhards. Watch their review, I'm not sure they were paying attention, it was just playing in the background.

Thankyou my dood.

and ''if the story has already been foretold in prophecy, why is everyone in suspense''? Well, it's an ancient prophecy and no one knew the time of when it would come, plus it was hidden knowledge that only Ynyr was given to know.

The same for me - but concerning never fully seeing the Beast, this might actually be intended...As we know from Jaws and Alien, you can actually make a monster more scary by showing it only in parts.

Yes, the professionell critics had not been to fond of the movie. But, and that is a big but, this had happened world wide when the movie got out. Still remember a German radio commentator from those days; " the people in Krull are all beautifull and they speak so well behaved but that is all what goes for the movie ". I am not shure it was the Fantasy setting or the plot but somehow Krull got underrated. Still like the film untill today.

If he wasn't so snarky I would have given him the benefit of the doubt, screwing up Krull being the name of the planet was the icing on the cake of how much he didn't actually know, nor care to versus actual criticism.

Aaron Nicewonger got to say their input seemed inexcusable that they didn’t have there facts straight ! Love this movie 👍😎

Athelas definitely ignorant to the facts ?? A must for critics surely! Krull is the planet lol 😂 Guess I’m a little defensive as I adore Krull

@@MatsMovieReviews Same here mate, it's still in my top 10 favourite films of all time.

i would have...followed by many moments of happy dancing

When I saw that glaive, I thought, 'wasn't there a movie I saw when I was a kid that had something called a glaive?' I never gave it another thought.

Yes, and this is what the movie shares with Star Wars, though in a different direction....Basically, Krull tells the story about a medieval planet being invaded from outer space. Those people have no concept of spaceships, for instance, so they do not now what they are seeing if they encounter one - so the giant spaceship that invades their world becomes the Black Fortress. They do, however, seem to have a concept of different worlds existing besides their own, which was a concept totally unknown in OUR Middle Ages. Equally, a lot of stuff that is really only technology tends to be interpreted as "magic" (following Sir Arthur C. Clarke), though this planet seems to have its own system of magic as well. It did, however, always baffle me how a child born on such a technologically backward world, should become the ruler of an entire galaxy. In Star Wars its different, we have the story of an interstellar war told from the point of view of people who understand the technology they are living with, though they have a system of "magic" as well. There is a lot of advanced technology, and yet we have planets (Alderaan, Naboo) whose Princesses are dressed and coiffed in a medieval fashion despite that fact. But there is the same mixture of genre elements, with Krull basically just straying into another direction than Star Wars. It may be stupid but the first time I saw Krull in theatres I had seen Return of the Jedi a few months earlier, and when I heard that line about the son of Lyssa and Colwyn being propehsied to become the ruler of the galaxy, I initially assumed that this was a Star Wars prequel and that Lyssa and Colwyn were the parents of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader...

I wouLd not calL this a science-fction and or a science-fantasy fLik moovie , tis obviousLy an action-advnture-fantasy story wth som mythology thrown-in tha mix . starwars Like fLash-Gordon is a space-fantasy and startrk is a science-fction series

Oh, I remember that Krull video game.

Nathan Barley Its well jackson. Keep it dense, Yeah?

Ah now, he's way too slender. Chris is a big lump of a lad.

Who looks a lot like the dude from 'Legion' It's called bland good looks.

I gues u can couLd say Kn MarshaL is oLd enough to b Cris Prat's dad fathr

Think hes more dennis quaid

Chrisp Rat wishes he looked like that, pff.

I actually think the Widow of the Web scene is most remembered from the film. The score is still one of Horner's finest & I have listened to it many times.

It’s both for me James Horner’s score and the Glaive is what sticks out to me the most

Kail Habib - Mill Creek Entertainment did the Blu-ray release back in 2014. I think it's Region A only though. 😔

Tikifire's Retro Clubhouse - Just in case you haven't stumbled across it, Krull is available on Blu-ray now. 😄

They say your imagination on shrooms is like that of a childs, so this movie might be really good viewing while high.

Robert Boshears JR Exactly what I think. Was reading about The Avengers, which led me to the music composer, which led me to this, a film I haven't seen in around 20 years (I'm 29 now). I'd totally forgotten about it, but after seeing the title and the cyclops thing, it brought back memories of how I loved this film. Fantasy is fantasy, it isn't supposed to make sense.

Robert Boshears JR I've got a huge collection of films and have seen thousands in my lifetime, but most of the films I find excellent, the paid 'critics' give them rubbish reviews. Yet films I find rubbish, the critics give them excellent reviews. Imo its usually the worst films winning all the awards at the Oscars etc. Gonna start a film marathon now with all the related 1980's fantasy films I'd forgotton about

Daniel Gardecki I love collecting old films from my youth. I just picked up Labyrinth on BR. Had the DVD and have seen it a million times but seeing it again with pristine clarity takes me back to the summer of 1987 when I first saw it! I also love all the making-of featurettes that show you how these films got made. I also love the score from this film. In fact it's a slight reworking of the score he did for ST2:Wrath of Kahn, another excellent and beautifully scored film!

I've just watched 'Kings of Summer' a 2013 film which got excellent 5 out of 5 reviews, which was supposed to be like a 'Stand By Me' meets 'Superbad' type of film. I was never a fan of 'Superbad' as it didn't make me laugh but was OK to watch, but 'Stand By Me' was quite good. 'Kings of Summer' though is just average imo. There's not much action, not much comedy, not much of anything in it tbh so how it got such good reviews I'll never know

'Kingsman: The secret service' another film I've watched this week, correctly got good reviews although I would've given it 9/10, not 58%, 74% or 8.1/10 like its been given

Spot on!

You're right in telling people not to take it personally, but it's hard not to when some of their points feel insipid, whining about a horse being so fast is a bit pedantic when the movie clearly shows it has a fantasy and magical element to it (Though that element was a touch disjointed) , and it feels like he never really bothered to pay attention to it, which hurts his points on it (As another commenter put down.). Getting pissy about critics is petty, but it's irritating when they clearly don't watch a movie carefully to give a careful critic, it just feels like they're lazy about it, and this can be worse when you realize they have influence over other people who want to listen to them BEFORE they watch a movie for themselves.

Roger Ebert was a shill. Whatever got him so popular when he had so many wrong opinions? He's dead now but still

Thanks for your great trivia David!

"Stranger in a straaange laaand..land of ice and snow!!"

Good for you mate, I saw it the cinema as a kid, loved it then and I still love it to this day. I don't understand the hate thats thrown at it either. Its just good fun and the glaive rocks.

9 out of 10 movies are so badly remade, it would be better if they were never made at all.

@@Tyrfingr True, but that's why the original will always exist. I know it's not out yet, but if I saw a remake trailer for Krull with the care and dedication that the new Dune remake seems to have, I'd lose my shit.

@@jtphr33ky If it is that 1 out of 10 movies, then i'm in agreement. As for Dune. I reserve judgement until i actually see it. I don't wish to come off all negative and shit but, i have been disappointed so many times now that i have grown.... cynical 🙄

@@Tyrfingr completely understandable ;)

Such a loss to the world he was taken in a plane crash.

AudioAndroid Wait until you realize that Ken Marshall is Kurt Russell's clone.

Dr. Larry Mitchell first Trump now this.....it going to be one hell of a month

AudioAndroid holy crap... he does.

It's his uncle. Pratt's mother's brother. His real name is Indahl. I had to look it up years ago when I noticed the same thing.

AudioAndroid llljjlj

Oh it was scarey as shit when I was a kid, saw it in the mid 80's. Loved the film though, its one of the classics of the time like Flight of the Navigator and how about TIME BANDITS - that was a movie.. When I was older I got into classics like Excalibur - there was a LOT of good stuff from the 80's, from schlock comedy horrors like Reanimator to all the Sci Fi flicks (Flash Gordon to Star Wars!), Arnie getting big (as it were) and plenty of grand adventures on the whole. Krull always stuck with me as a great movie but scary too - the part with the old guy in the swamp, and the giant spider and the Beasts Castle having that strange aesthetic to it - I loved the mix of fantasy and sci fi.

@@andy7666 omg, all my favorite movies are fantasy and sci fi from the 80s, too. They were so magical back then.

His fate was to stay put and die peacefully. Instead, he challenged his fate, helped the noble cause and paid the price by dying horribly. It makes perfect sense.

+HRL Thank you very much!

+HRL I love the movie to. There was talk a of sequel as late as 2003 I think.

I've seen it but it was so looong ago I can't remember it well ;) (I'm pretty sure I was a kid when I watched it on TV)
