Save your time and money

"I don't understand how anyone can give this movie a good review. This is a perfect example of why Russians shouldn't try to make movies. I spent 9 bucks for this. What a waste of money. I suffered thru 45 minutes and then took the DVD out and threw it in the garbage. Poor plot and poor acting skills. This movie only got a 5.8 rating on the IMDB website, which I think was far too generous (probably rated by Dungeon & Dragon heads). This one is definitely a rotten tomato. The first part was a poor attempt to copy Conan the Barbarian. In the beginning of the movie, you have a kid who is 7 or 8. His parents are killed and he is taken to work the mines. The next minute, he's an adult with scars on his face, he has a sword, and carries a bat which cannot fly. So what happened during those missing years? If he was a slave, how did he get free? What's the significance of carrying a bat that can't fly? Where did he get the bat? I had to back the movie up to make sure I didn't accidentally fast forward thru a part of it. Apparitions and visions seem to appear and disappear at random, and add little meaning to the movie. The plot is random. The only good thing I can say is that there was some pretty scenery during a couple of parts of the movie. But I can watch National Geographic for that. And a couple of fair sword fights. A semi-pretty girl. But that's it. Save your money. If I had known the quality of this movie, I wouldn't have even spent a dollar on it."
