To be able to stop the invaders two hostile nations decide to join their forces by the marriage of princess lyssa and prince colwyn. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/04/2005 Starring: Ken Marshall Freddie Jones Run time: 121 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Peter Yates Amazon.com: There's something inescapably appealing about this camp 1983 Star Wars-meets-The Lord of the Rings knockoff that encourages the viewer to overlook its many silly shortcomings and simply enjoy the fun. James Horner's rollicking music score certainly helps, as does the epic-scale CinemaScope photography of the breathtaking Italian landscapes. The costumes and extravagant production design are also great to look at, and much of Derek Meddings's visual effects work still looks striking. Freddie Jones stands head and shoulders above the rest of the cast as the wise Ynyr, while the two romantic leads, Ken Marshall as Prince Colwyn and Lysette Anthony (with an overdubbed American voice) as Princess Lyssa, are mere formalities on which to hang the plot. The all-British supporting cast includes Todd Carty, Bernard Bresslaw, Robbie Coltrane, Liam Neeson, and the gorgeous Francesca Annis. If you feel the need for some escapist sword-and-sorcery fantasy, then Krull delivers in full measure. --Mark Walker Average Rating:
 Rating: - Enjoyable fantasy romp!In a magical world called Krull, a mysterious dark magic fortress from space called "The Black Fortress" lands on the planet. A powerful Beast and his minions attack the planet, Prince Colwyn (Ken Marshall) and the beautiful Princess Lyssa (Lysette Anthony) as they marry so that two rival kingdoms can be united in peace, that is until the warriors of the Beast kidnap her during the ceremony. Colwyn joins up with an unlikely band of heroes named Ynyr (Freddie Jones), Ergo the magician (David Battley), ... Read More Rating:  - More Christmas Panto than Star Wars with swords and sorceryAt one point called The Dragons of Krull until someone noticed that they'd written the dragons out in one of the early draft screenplays, this 1983 underachiever was the end result of Columbia's desire for a big fantasy film - any fantasy film - to compete in the Star Wars stakes: the story came later, and came made to measure. The result is a pic'n'mix of several genres, from swashbuckler to sci-fi as Ken Marshall's Prince must rescue his Princess (Lysette Anthony, dubbed, although on past ... Read More Rating: - Sojourn to SomewhereThis movie is more about taking a journey somewhere and meeting people along the way. If you have no patience for that, then this movie may be a bit of a disappointment. The effects and music are certainly good. But this was made in the time around "Star Wars" and you can see the influence. If I was to change anything I would have taken the ray guns and space ship away from the bad guys. It doesn't fit with the rest the medieval theme. Reasonably entertaining if you enjoy the lesser adventure movies of the ... Read More Rating: - Tacky, but loveable.....This little chuppa of a film is one of the myriad of "sword and sorcery" films of the early eighties, a lot that produced VERY few satisfactory examples....one exception was called, oddly enough, "The Sword and the Sorcerer", a film I reviewed here earlier; one of the others was this thing, "Krull". This film starred Ken Marshall, Freddie Jones, PBS perennial Lysette Anthony, BBC perennial and David Lynch's Jessica Atreides...Francesca Annis, Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane and other recognizable faces in a movie ...
