Mr. Fleischer brings absolutely no playfulness to what might, at least, have been enjoyably light. And he brings out the worst in a cast that was ill-chosen to begin with.

The dialogue passages don't exactly play like Noel Coward, but this is a movie that succeeds rousingly well on its own humble, Saturday-night terms.

Red Sonja returns to those olden days when women were women and the menfolk stood around with funny hats on until called forth to be whacked at.

Sure, there are a few funny moments here and there with several obviously intended jokes, but director Richard Fleischer never milks the elements of self-parody for what they're worth.

Worst of all, there's a charmless brat prince for Sonja to take under her wing.

It's a truly horrible concoction, filled with stiff, overly serious dialogue, wretched performances, bad lighting and a lazy score by the otherwise great Ennio Morricone.

...pure silliness, but not silly enough to qualify as amusing. Face it; it's just dull.

The scene where Nielsen stands at the molten river border of the 'land of eternal night' looks particularly good.

Fleischer could have directed this movie from his living room via speaker phone and achieved the same result
