This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Rarely funny even ironically and gets a star for at least having a plot that can be followed.

My now wife and fellow cast members of the Louisiana Renaissance Festival are the 'citizens' at the beginning of this monstrosity. I had to watch it out of obligation to them at the time....... and it was bad. The best part of this film? The box cover lies about Billy Zane's role! He doesn't wear armor and fight! Instead he sits on his ass making dumb jokes about armies of children and mothers. The only times he leaves the throne are to 1) go to bed on the floor in front of it with his harem and 2) To die in the most ridiculous way possible. The effects are crap, the acting is mediocre, the costuming is alright, a lot of poor decisions made in editing. All in all a bad movie not even worthy of infamy like Troll 2 and The Room. Definitely a movie to skip.

When one chooses to watch "Journey to Promethea," with a poster featuring a sword-wielding, 45-year-old Billy Zane surrounded by hot babes and sweaty beefcakes, one should already be able to tell what he or she is getting into. There is nothing to suggest the presence of a well-crafted story, or decent acting, or interesting effects, or any level of professional film-making. All one should expect is a sword-wielding Billy Zane. And you're not going to get it! No, he never wields a sword, or even leaves his chair. But he does inexplicably - and literally - vanish into thin air at the end.A generation that hails "Troll 2" as a cult favorite for unintentional hilarity shouldn't pass up a movie like this. You like bad acting? It's there. Massive plot holes? Check. Bizarre, unexplainable behavior by characters who appear and die off for seemingly no reason? Of course! If it amuses you to see just how amateurish, rushed, and entirely unnecessary a $2,000,000 movie can be, and if you can find a way to watch it entirely for free, then "Journey to Promethea" is worth your time.

I knew something was up when the movie started and the cast looked like they escaped from the King Richard's fair. All the costumes looked brand news too bright. Walmart Halloween clearance rack?? The only ones benefitting was the soldiers in the tacky helmets. They don't have to show their face in this movie. What was going on with the filming? It was shaky in some areas. I think my son could do better with our home camcorder. Overall, I agree with the last reviewer... watch it with good friends... its so bad that its good to make fun of! Tacky costumes (what's with the cape and tights?) and with the comically seductive but mindless women? Oh well, I only paid $1 for it at Redbox. LOL!
