What Others Said
CinemaSerf:
If it wasn't for the really terrible dialogue, this would make for quite a passable sword and sandals adventure, William Shatner is in full theatrical ham mode as the eponymous character who must combat the maniacal King Darius of Persia as well as a few of his more independently minded generals. It can only really be described as a very loose interpretation of history - there is oodles of creative licence going on - but it is still quite a good fun little drama that lets our hero roll around in the dirt, without his shirt coming off, and we've even got some belly dancing too! It's rubbish, really - but I still, perversely perhaps, I rather enjoyed it.
