The Keeper of Time (2004)

How bad is it? It's aimed at undiscerning children.
Should you see it? If you've already watched every Xena: Warrior Princess episode.

This was shot on videotape long after its heyday of the 1980's. It's a very basic story of a child caught in sword and sorcery fantasy. The film actually looks good, too good for once, as impossibly handsome men and beautiful women are in a time and place where showering and shaving seem unlikely. The best scene has a swordsman fighting a storm. It moves along and is mildly diverting, but it seems odd that this has so many people calling it terrible and some calling it a masterpiece of bad filmmaking.
