“Much like the other commenters, my view is that this movie is bilge. Really itu0026#39;s not much different than those sword and sorcery movies that were inspired by the Conan the Barbarian movies — this is more like Conan the Destroyer than the infinitely superior first film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are so many flaws, and they have been mentioned in detail in other comments, they canu0026#39;t all be listed, it would use up the word maximum.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSuffice it to say that this is in the area of u0026quot;Ator the Fighting Eagleu0026quot; style flicks, very low budget, no talent to speak of in the direction or cast, and the writing is atrocious.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is too bad, it appears the makers figured they could make the same movie, with the silly comic relief, that theyu0026#39;ve made dozens of times before, slap the u0026quot;Goru0026quot; name on it, and people would watch it if they were into the books.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Gor books do merit a movie, and the makers wouldnu0026#39;t even need too large a budget, though it would help since the world Norman created is quite intricate. And yes, the sexual aspect can be pretty adult in the books, the latter ones anyway. But the first few are pretty tame in that regard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill, a reasonably budgeted R-rated movie with a talented director (get Milius!) could have been made and would likely been successful.”
