Wonderful Movie
Very well executed
The Worst Film Ever
As Good As It Gets
I've never watched Mystery Science theatre so can't comment on that, however, I have watched Ator the Fighting Eagle and is was so much better than this. What were you thinking, Joe D'Amato?This time, William Berger is some scientist who has invented something and David Brandon of Stagefright wants the secret, but Berger's daughter has done a runner with it so it's up to the world's best Brian May enthusiast to sort things out. Only this time he don't have a bear sidekick, or does anything cool, or anything, because this film is talk, talk, talk, and not much else. Where's the giant spiders, zombies, and Laura Gesmer of the first film Joe?This time, Ator ruminates on things, uses science, and talks with folks as we look at how much time has passed and wonder when the film is going to get good. Luckily it does, but you don't get anything particularly outlandish here except for Miles in a handglider. But still, not so good.
Considering that this is a film about a muscle bound, sword wielding hero, it is surprisingly boring. There are several scenes of looong dialogues that have no impact on the plot and other unnecessary scenes that make the movie more drawn out than it has to be. However, when something actually happens it is fairly enjoyable in a comical sense, as the actions scenes are very poorly choreographed and executed. The best part is the 1/4 of the film where it seems the film makers ran out of story and just threw in everything they could imagine, no matter how stupid. There are hang gliders, bombs and even a nuclear explosion, as opposed to the cavemen in one of the opening scenes. That's just thee kind of thing I like to see in this kind of movie, more of that and less boring dialog would have made it, well, not good, but funny. As is, it was really rather meh.
Like all sword and sorcery fans, i sincerely expect that the next sword and sorcery flick that i can get, it would be better..but i always fell in the same mistake all over again...do you know what i mean?Im sure you do... What can i say about "Ator the invincible"...hum..its really bad, one of the crappiest ultra-low-budget sword and sorcery flicks i ever seen, even worst than "Ator, the Fighting Eagle". Milles O'keefe is bad, Lisa Foster is awful as actress, but is a beautiful girl (maybe the best thing in the movie). Zor,NOOOOO...ITS ONE THE WORST BAD GUY EVER, is a Genghis Khan rip off with a fake mustache!!!!The plot is terrible, i think everything is terrible in "Ator the Invencible - 2"...But what can we say...definitely, along with "Gunan il Gerriero" (Franco Prosperi) and "Wizards of the Demon Sword" its the WORST sword and sorcery flick ever made, JOE D'AMATO F@CK YOU!. If you like this one, i recommend: ,"Gunan il Gerriero"(Franco Prosperi - 1982); "Ator, the Fighting Eagle"(Joe d'Amato) and "Warrior and the Sorceress".
The Ator series is a shining example of what B-movies should be. They fail in every aspect, but in such a hilarious way that they are funny rather than sad. "Ator l'invincibile 2" aka "The Blade Master" aka "Cave Dwellers" shows us Europe's favorite Conan clone, Ator where we left him in the first movie- after showing us a lengthy recap of all the events of the first film. This time the world must be saved from "The Nucleus", a kind of bomb, represented on screen as a bright light (I guess they couldn't afford a prop). This one features invisible attackers and samurai. As with the first film, lots of stock footage is used (including one rather obvious bit from "Star Wars"). Thoroughly laughable and unforgettably bad- this is an exception B-movie.
