    #Watched Red Sonja (2025) - Not nearly as dire as I feared, but man, it ain’t good. The film borrows story elements liberally from the recent-ish Gail Simone and Mark Russell runs, both of which were solid fun, but has to work around two huge limitations (and I don’t mean budget). /1

    Between the new He-Man trailer and last year's disastrous Red Sonja movie, I'm thinking when studio execs use the word "WITNESS" in a tagline it's an indication that the movie is so awful the most they can say about it is that you will use your eyes to see it

This is after she beat the badguys and saved the world, so she is in total boss mode. I realized I'd love to watch an entire movie like this last scene; an…

    I watched Red Sonja (2025) this afternoon and had a really good time. I know it got kinda slammed, but it had everything I wanted from a pulpy sword and sorcery film. Some great themes, I thought, and the bad guy was genuinely empathetic.

    The problem with Conan The Destroyer (and Red Sonja) is that folks compare it to Conan The Barbarian. But if you compare it to virtually every fantasy movie that isn’t CTB, it holds up extremely well.

    #movies #moviesky Latest watch-our library got a copy of the 2025 Red Sonja movie, so I thought I would give it a try. It's a mediocre generic sword & sorcery film but a terrible adaptation of Red Sonja-watchable if you don't think of it as Sonja but nothing in it feels like Sonja or Hyborian Age.

    The 2025 Red Sonja movie is really brought down by the first halfish needing to be a like 3/4 shorter. Crazy how they just casually have Beast folk and I'm pretty sure Picts without bringing attention to it. Fun movie after you get past the arena stuff.

  • OneCardboardBox @[email protected]Lemmy · Jun 26, 2026

    Red Sonja (1985) I like that it's a definitely-not-Conan movie with a bit more humor. Maybe people don't like the kid actor, but I thought that Prince Tarn and Falcon added a lot without being overbearing. It could rate even higher for me if they'd gotten Basil Poledouris to do the soundtrack. Cool World (1992) Things really start to fall apart in the third act once Holli transports to the real world and from a technical side, Who Framed Roger Rabbit beats it by miles. However, the idea…

    Red Sonja, the new one. MUCH better than I expected, very fun movie, held back by budget. Some structural issues here and there that suggest to me that it may have originally been planned as a series or more than one movie. Very good final confrontation. Could've lived without the "atheist because god was mean to me" thing but oh well. Deathstalker, the new one. I see what they were trying to do but fuck this was stupid and not in the good stupid way of the old ones. At least Daniel Bernhardt…
