Dragonslayer (1981)

A Heroic Tale

This is one of the best sword and sorcery films out there. It is very good - especially the visual effects (amazing for the time era).

The story is sorta reminiscent of "King Kong" or "Clash of the Titans" (among other films) in the way there is a beast of sorts after a helpless woman and a young dashing hero out to rescue her. Dragonslayer has a stereo-typical scenario but so wonderfully done.

Dragonslayer is not a movie of epic portions but is a good movie to watch on a day when you have time to spare. If you are into movies about dragons, wizards and heroes then give Dragonslayer a try. It's one of the better quality movies of this type.

9/10
