About
If you want classic sword-and-sandal fantasy with big monsters and a fast quest feel, you’ll likely enjoy this; Not for you if dated stop-motion effects turn you off, or if you prefer lighter, less chaotic god-driven plots like Jason and the Argonauts or Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.
Pros: fun mythic adventure; iconic creatures; memorable quests | Cons: dated effects; gods bickering; some pacing drag
