Details

Once upon a time a god gave a mighty sword to the king of Aquiles to bring justice to his people. Now he wants it back - but the king rather gives his life than the sword. Goddess Dehamira, who spoke for him, is being taken all her privileges and banned in a circle of fire, until a human arrives who's strong enough to free her. When prince Ator becomes 18, he gets the sword from the mean sorcerer gnome Grindl, to free Dehamira and his people. On his journey he has to fight against dragons and other fantastic figures.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
MonsterVision99 This is my second favorite film in the Troll series of movies, even if they are not related to each other, I consider this to be my second favorite out of the four, my favorite is still Troll 2, but this one is very entertaining too, its the second third entry in both the Ator series and the Troll series of films, there are two parts int his movie, the first one is Ator trying to get the sword from this troll, Grindel, he is a lot of fun, his interactions with Ator are very funny, the second part, is about Ators romantic interest being captured by two siblings who want Ator and his Love interest as their lovers. The movie is very entertaining, I would recommend it , it has some comedy in it that its actually pretty funny, its a lot of fun.
corfrancais I find I often like really bad movies,they can have a certain charm that is appealing. I can't say that this is one of them. Poorly written, bad editing, clumsy acting, goofy costumes, incredibly disjunct yet so simplistic you don't have any trouble following the lack of a sensible plot. It's sooo bad that it sucks you in and you feel compelled to see it through to the bitter end (ack, make it stop.....). Viewers will recognize Eric Allan Kramer from 'Men in Tights' and other movies, plus his most recent stint as 'Bob Duncan' on the Disney Channel. I like him a lot but I'm not sure what compelled him to do this rather fascinating bit of rot. At any rate even though I'm sounding really negative about it, if you've not seen this flick it's probably worth watching once so that you can say with pride that you suffered through it and can comment knowingly about it.
andreygrachev I do not agree with the previous comment. Last year we managed to find that rare late Damato exclusive. I loved the story it makes sense. The classic Film Mirage production. Looks pretty awesome, at least comparing with Ator 2, that I think really boring, comparing to this title. Yes I was actually surprised to read first that this one is not worth seeing, and then it turned out to be quite imaginative and magic fairytale that gives both wonders ,creeps and belief in real heroes who exist here. Lamberto Bava's Fantaghiro series are good connection to this wave of Italian look on myths and fairy tales. www.myspace.com/neizvest
Director Jim I must plea with you, do not watch this movie! Unless you want to know what not to do in a movie, then that's okay. We all must learn from others' mistakes. Such as: hiring people that can act; do make-up; edit sound; do special effects; edit film; produce; direct; and proper caterers, 'cause these people were emaciated from lack of talent.
