TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
smoke_rider Marco is a film that some adults will like.It's a fun loving musical that I quite enjoyed as a child.This film walks a fine line between what an adult who is young at heart might enjoy and what is appropriate for children.The acting of Desi Arnaz Jr. as Marco is weak but the film as a whole is very entertaining.It should be left up to each parent to look at this film first and decide if it's appropriate for their child.I was 9 when I first saw this film and twenty years later I still enjoy it.My final conclusion it's a silly,fun film not to be taken seriously but not to be dismissed either. If you enjoy musicals,flights of fancy,an occasional cartoon illustrated story,and the occasional song and dance number that might make you blush.Don't overlook this movie.
Kenneth Anderson I saw this movie on TV many years ago and haven't seen or heard of it since. My vague memory is of it looking very cheap and international, like the Elizabeth Taylor version of "The Bluebird." The cast all seemed to have been post-dubbed (badly) and the sets looked very small and claustrophobic.Desi Arnaz, Jr. made for a very weak lead and I can't recall a single song he sang. I do remember that he is somehow saddled with a princess who turns out to be a real self-reliant warrior and feminist and that I liked her character a lot. The one song I still remember is one butch number called "By Damn!" which she sings while essentially doing a striptease out of her warrior armor.The film comes to life when Zero Mostel is on screen, causing poor charisma-free Arnaz to just fade into the scenery. It's easy to see why he never took off as a screen actor.Somewhere mixed in the plot is the hunt for whales to get ambergris to put into perfume.
