Review of Fire and Ice (1983) by Ted R — 09 Oct 2008
This film is a fantasy lovers dream come true. Foul beasts, evil wizards, buxom maidens and gratuitous violence abound in this thoroughly entertaining animated feature. The plot and the characters can be a bit hokey and the voice acting is only adequate, but this is easy to overlook considering to overall experience is pretty satisfying.
The best way that I could describe this film is that it's like the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, but for adults. It's also very similar to the film Heavy Metal, but the continuous story line is more enjoyable than the series of short vignettes in that film.
You're actually able to invest some emotion into the characters and plot instead of being whisked away to a different time and place. So for those fantasy genre lovers out there and for those of you who enjoyed films like Conan the Barbarian and The Beastmaster, I would definitely recommend watching this movie, especially if your in the mood for a entertaining and enjoyable animated adventure.
