Yeah not so great. Disappointing actually. Now no studios will risk funding an awesome 80's fantasy comedy and that's what I would totally make. Except mine would not be as sucky as this.

Swearing and bad penis jokes are not that funny. Putting them in a different context, even one as seemingly inappropriate and fish-out-of-water as this does not change the fact that Swearing and bad penis jokes are not that funny.

It's a real shame, there's so much they could have done with this. The production design is awesome, the location stuff look bloody amazing and the effects are really cool. Justin Theroux is my fav. He will always be my fav. Gah that's so annoying.

There were a lot of references to 80's films, like I had hoped. Mainly Willow, Dark Crystal, a bit of Jason and the Argonauts and a cute update on Bubo from the original Clash of the Titans.

There's a few funny bits. I think it's more that there are funny ideas and set pieces but all the jokes fall flat. Darn.
