    I’ve seen this nonsense a couple of times already, but it was still funny. A pure fantasy series from the 90s, squeezed into an hour and a half – no wonder the director worked on "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Hercules". The "green paint" and graphics are especially funny here – all the money is on the screen, so to speak.
