"Red Sonja" is an unpolished, sword and sorcery, romp. There's a discernible lack of care and polish, in this production. Its by no means in in the same class as earlier cinematic iterations, such as the film from 1985. The story is both predictable and underwhelming. Unsurprisingly, characterisations fare little better, being of the decidedly card board cut out, variety. Fight scenes, which populate much of this flick, feel like something thrown together, by a well funded group of fantasy larpers. Oddly enough, a portion of the acting is actually quite worthwhile, especially the villain of the piece played by the talented Robert Sheehan but really, that's about it. In summary, a basic sword and sorcery tale,that's mildly watchable but lacking in many respects. I personally feel the film from 1985, is vastly superior. Take a look at both and see if you don't agree with me.
