"Krull" is a fantasy film that has not only aged horribly but was probably never all that good in the first place. The combination of swashbuckling and sci-fi fails miserably. The costumes and sets are mostly ridiculous, and the script is full of genre clichés. Acting-wise, it's all underwhelming, though some early roles by later stars are a pleasant surprise. The only saving grace is the atmospheric score by James Horner. In the end, however, I found it difficult to maintain my interest even halfway through until the finale. The film is simply too long, too boring, and too uninteresting to earn even a minor recommendation from me.
