I loved Krull as a kid. I must have seen it when I was around 8 years old.
It was ahead of its time because it stuck to "The Saint" tv show storyline. Wished Mission Impossible stuck more to the storyline.
The first MI was the first, the best, and my favorite! After that it went off the rails. My favorite example is two human beings closing on each other, rapidly riding motorcycles from opposite directions, a combined speed of over 100mph. At the last minute they both jump, fly in mid air to collide with one another, fall to the ground and not only are they not dead, they hop up and start kung ku fighting with each other. This is when they are not spinning their cars around together as if the two cars are connected, bantering with each other. Note, the director was a Hong Kong Kung Fu action director if I recall correctly… 🤪
Lol, you gotta luv the hyper action stuff because if it was real world, it would be a snoozer lol.
Well it broke my suspension of disbelief, and when that happens, I lose interest in the story, any suspense is gone.
I like this one, plus I had a crush on Elizabeth Shue in my younger years lol. Bit odd though seeing an American playing The Saint after Roger Moore did the TV series, but I never read the books so in idea what nationality the character was originally. Still worked out alright and Kilmer did a good job with the character.
I was considering watching this, reviews were not good, but that’s not my final consideration.
It's good, however I prefer the literal 1984 release...
