I enjoyed this movie.The story is very similar to other movies ( I can't remember the names now)but the scenary and special effects of that age are o.k. The only thing I didn't like was Oliver Tobias as the hero. He doesn't fit the type and wears a ridiculous moustache .
...But not in the same league as other films of the same ilk, such as the Sinbad series, despite the stars in the cast. The plot is wafer thin and the special effects are really no better than those available on TV at the time. Christopher Lee does not inject any of the venom into his role which he does in other films, and Milo O'Shea is not a patch on his character in Barbarella.
