Why are all fantasy movies bad except for Conan the Barbarian, Excalibur, Lord of the Rings, and maybe Merlin?

They're not:
Krull
The Sword and the Sorcerer
The Magic Sword
Dungeons and Dragons

in highschool some substitute teacher wheeled in the monitor and put on Excalibur.

When the sex started early in the movie he tried to fast forward through it, with the result being Uther Pendragon fucking lady Elaine at 60 thrusts per second.
>>
>>79285475
These are good.

The Dark Crystal fits the pattern as well.
I think the first Pirates of the Caribbean is a good movie, but doesn't fit the sword and sorcery pattern.
>>
>>79285209
CGI and 3DFX are huge crutches and don't add anything to modern Fantasy but for some reason one can't be made without them now.

That Dwarf mining movie sounds cool though

The sauce wasn't even good and the movie made it even worse. The intro scenes were kino but the movie is downhill from there.

Welp, guess it's going to take a day or two if they don't pop up online often enough.

It's only homoerotic because your brain has been perverted by the relentless propaganda of Hollywood, TV and the media. Male camaraderie, aka friendship, is one of the most natural phenomena in human society. It's only in the degenerate West that peoples' minds have become so diseased that they see it as a sign of faggotry. Hell, in most countries heterosexual men actually can hold hands perfectly innocently without feeling self-conscious.

I feel sorry for you. You are irreparably damaged in the head.

Faggotry is immoral and must not be tolerated, but there is no faggotry in LotR.

Never saw it air on any of the local channels.

Saw Merlin (with Sam Neil) plenty of time though. They must have shown that at least 50 times.

If you liked Excalibur, check out Flesh + Blood, directed by Paul Verhoeven. It's not fantasy but it's a really dark medieval (I think) movie.

Ridley Scott's entire filmography has been retroactively rendered bad because /tv/ is too pleb for his latest works.

Star Wars isnt bad, its "ok".

>>79285209
Great camera work, easily Uwe's best. Yeah the dialogue was so-so, but the acting overall wasn't terrible. Everyone gave the kinds of performances I've come to expect from them. If nothing on this film was changed and you were just told it was directed by someone else you'd all be saying great things about it. I keep hearing everyone comparing this to LOTR, but since all three of those were a monumental waste of time, talent, money, and film and this one was fairly decent, I don't see the comparison.

It's the actors in that time of their life when they're actual bass asses, not actors acting like bad asses.

>>79285209
i can't stand excalibur because the audio is terrible, the dialogue is mostly people shouting or hissing their lines, and the production design is mostly shit. i do like what they did with simple green light for magic though, and the red sun for camlann was good. lady of the lake was good too. it's just too much plot crammed in and mostly a mess.
>>
>>79285331
>Dragonslayer is also good.

it's probably the only good sword & sorcery movie other than the first conan

ladyhawke is abject garbage

>>79286017
That was basically Star Wars without the sci-fi.
