Just watched this for the first time, I can't think of many things more over rated than this.

The visual production is spectacular. For 1988 this is the cream of the crop. I can tell that every idea and concept is perfectly created. They did great.

The soundtrack conceptually is fantastic, but in execution it falls short. There's literally a song that goes "HOTDOG HOTDOG" and then has random ass whispers and snake noises. The choir that was cast is underwhelming and really fails to do the compositions justice. Every time a track was added to the scene it barges in and distracts you from what's going in. Whether it's the "AAAAAAH AAAAAAAH BUM BUM" or the "HOTDOG HOTDOG."

The plot is bland.

I feel like I wasted money because I was too lazy to find it illegally.
