Review of The Beastmaster (1982) by Comandantecobra — 01 Apr 2023
Old 80’s B movie, a classic of TV re-runs.
It's a Sword and Sorcery story about a man (with a misterious past and the supernatural ability to talk and "command" animals) that takes on a journey for revenge against a great evil.
It push all the buttons for this kind of movie:
Action, good intentions, magic, cruel comic book villain, gorgeous outdoor scene, daring escapes, muscles, monsters and so on.
I'm old enough to remember this in TV but I watched it only recently (2023)...It entertain still and it is not so campy like You'd think .
Beware though that real animals in this movie seems treated sometimes a little carelessy, compared to modern standards (covered in paint, tossed, thrown in water...
