What critics compared Krull to
Quien la señala como tal, quien se queja de mundos alternos no humanos abigarrados y con hipogrifos en vuelo, probablemente ha olvidado la juvenil emoción de películas como Conan el bárbaro (EUA, 1982) y Krull (EUA-Reino Unido, 1983), del señor Peter Yates.
But in terms of its cinematic qualities, "Prince of Persia" feels like a knock-off of earlier, better fantasy films — not just the many incarnations of "Aladdin" and "Ali Baba" tales, but also the "Mummy" movies, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and even the long-forgotten "Krull" (1983).
What's happened with Labyrinth in the years since its release is similar to the recent resurgence in interest in Peter Yates' bizarrely unpleasant Krull: story inconsistencies, narrative weaknesses, and all manner of special effects atrocities fall before the remembrance of a child's anticipation and subsequent lack of discretion.
