the best thing about the first movie was Judi Bowker. The best thing about the second one was Gemma Arterton. That sums it up pretty well...
As a whole, I liked it OK, but some things in it did some real damage, imo. The Giant Scorpions were pretty cool, but the followed that up with the dumb looking Star Wars rejects in the desert:
Medusa is OK, if a bit too "CGI Computer Game Looking", but don't forget the stupid witches who held that silly eyeball in their hands.
Indeed.The remake was dissapointing. I never felt any reason to sympathize with any of the characters and the film seemed to jump from CGI encounter to encounter without much story element.

I was probably about 12 when I watched it and I absolutely loved it.I loved the original when it came out in 1981, but I was 14 1/2 when it came out. To me, it was just a thrill to see fantasy on the big screen at the time (plus, the partial nudity helped at that age...)
