Description

In this episode of Nerd Legion, we dive deep into the retrospective analysis of Krull, a polarizing cult classic of 1980s fantasy cinema. We break down the highs and lows, discussing everything from the film's impressive visuals, soundtrack by James Horner, and a strong ensemble cast including young Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane. We critique the film’s convoluted script, misaligned dialogue, and missed potential, comparing it with contemporaries like Conan and Star Wars. How could an all-star creative crew including director Peter Yates, cinematographer Peter Suschitzky, and editor Ray Lovejoy fail to live up to their potential in Krull?
