I've just watched this tonight with my brother and while I didn't think this was a great movie but it was highly enjoyable and fun to watch, I give this movie a 7/10

I'm the opposite. I remember loving the movie as a kid, I think it was one of the first movies we had on VHS when it came out. Watching as an adult, I still like it, but it doesn't hold up quite as well. One thing I didn't appreciate as a kid was how great Max von Sydow was, as Ming.

Definitely an 8. Saw it twice in the theatre as a kid. Love the obvious Italian designs on everything. The music is still kick ass today and Max Von Sydow is beyond fantastic as Ming. Just the way he says no while eating grapes is awesome.

I'll give it:
1 point for Princess Aura being the hottest hottie ever.
1 point for Max Von Sydow's crazily entertaining performance
1 point for Brian Blessed and Timothy Dalton's performances.
1 point for the few other entertaining moments I can probably think.
Other than that, this movie is a chore to sit through.
And NO, it's not because I "don't get it" or don't appreciate camp. I enjoy a good campy production. But this movie just fails on too many levels for me to enjoy.
So, over all 4/10. -

6 is the best I can do. It keeps drawing me back for the glorious art design, the driving beat of the score, Von Sydow, Ornella Muti, the brisk pacebut the script grows no less painful to endure, and neither Sam Jones nor Melody Anderson can do anything with their awful lines. Yes, I
get
the humor and it's just not my taste, to put it mildly.
