Well, there are a few things to remember about the person who raved about it on imdb:
A: He said that the Conan movies were vastly inferior. Even the second one was superior to S&S, irritating sidekicks or no.
B: He obviously thinks highly of the Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules series. Not a very credible reviewer.
C: "The script creaks more than the plot..." Oh really? So, the part about the secondary advisor's son being the direct heir to the throne, rather than the king's ACTUAL SON, was perfectly sound, then. My bad. Oh, and let's not forget the advisor's daughter, who solves every single problem with either a slap or a kick in the groin. Or the torturer, who is working at a
manually spun sword sharpener... and then has his face pressed into it and ground off... which wouldn't have happened if he would have STOPPED PUMPING THE PEDAL. It all makes perfect sense.
Don't get me wrong, though. As I said, it's the fifth best movie ever, but not because of its
quality. In a nutshell, imagine if
The Ice Pirates took itself seriously, and had a huge budget. That would be a damn good comparison to the Sword and the Sorceror.
