Ator IV: The Hobgoblin (1990)

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is my second favorite film in the Troll series of movies, even if they are not related to each other, I consider this to be my second favorite out of the four, my favorite is still Troll 2, but this one is very entertaining too, its the second third entry in both the Ator series and the Troll series of films, there are two parts int his movie, the first one is Ator trying to get the sword from this troll, Grindel, he is a lot of fun, his interactions with Ator are very funny, the second part, is about Ators romantic interest being captured by two siblings who want Ator and his Love interest as their lovers. The movie is very entertaining, I would recommend it , it has some comedy in it that its actually pretty funny, its a lot of fun.

It's Richard Wagner's "Siegfried" With All The Names Changed!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_(opera)Grindl- Mime. Ator- Siegfried. Dehamira- Brunnhilde.I can't believe there was no credit at all given to Wagner. Sure, he was a proto-Nazi but the man at least could weave a yarn!So is there any recognizable music at least in this? Maybe perhaps something operatic? Something vaguely... Wagnerian?And how is it that I never saw this masterpiece? A message board I'm on had someone ask what the movie was with a plot about a young man raised by a evil dwarf & he reforged the sword that was rightfully his... and I said "Sounds like Wagner's Siegfried to me!" Someone else actually knew the movie & gave the title as "Quest for the Mighty Sword". And so I am here.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for this movie, bad as it is. My sister and I ran across it years ago on HBO and quoted lines from it all summer. In fact, we taped the movie and I often made other people watch it, but nobody seemed to think it was as funny as my sister and I did.I think what I find most interesting about this movie is that the filmmakers would even try to produce an action-fantasy epic with the $500 budget they apparently had. Usually, your independent filmmakers have a general sense of their limitations. They tend to shoot small films that can get by on small budgets. But the folks who made "Quest for the Mighty Sword" thought BIG. They must have had remarkable confidence in their film-making ingenuity--a real belief that through a little clever camera angling, they could turn their fifteen cents into a dollar--turn their plastic sword, overweight lead actor, and single troll costume (used for almost every monster who shows up in the film) into a passable fantasy experience. This isn't "the little movie that could." It's "the little movie that thought it could, but couldn't." Something about that, however, makes the film lovable in its own way.In any event, I sincerely envy these filmmakers. Their power to view the glass as "half full" must be nearly inhuman. They must be pretty happy people, generally speaking.

One of the worst ever. But it was a good laugh. I would recommend seeing this if you were drunk on something, or if you are a masochist. Real bad.
