Back in 1982 I saw The Sword and the Sorcerer and I loved it. A guilty pleasure to be sure since it wasn't a great movie but I really enjoyed it. Tales of an Ancient Empire is supposed to be a loose sequel (very loose). Since I am a fan so the first movie I tried to like this one but it's so bad I was laughing during the movie at the dialogue and story. It's just an awful movie at almost every level. I say almost because the only two bright spots are Lee Horsley and Kevin Sorbo. Their acting is good as you might expect, considering the awful dialogue they were given to work with. Overall the story is a mess and makes no sense or has decent coherence. The dialogue is laughable. The acting by everyone (except Lee and Kevin) was terrible. For some reason the director decided to shoot most of the film in a sepia tone. I don't understand why.
This film is terrible. Just terrible.
