Reader Reviews
Did we really have to take a trip back to ancient Greece? I love "Mystery Science Theater 3000" more than most people, and while I love having new releases from the guys in Film Crew form, I was hoping to never have to sit through another of these insufferable Italian sword and sandals epics. This one stars Steve Reeves as Phillipides, Athens' greatest athlete and elite military leader. It is difficult to remember that he isn't Hercules in this film, as it is merely a clone of those equally awful epics. Don't misunderstand me: I am delighted to have new MST3K-esque material, but with so many wretched movies out there begging for commentary tracks, I would have preferred to watch something (anything) other than this. The film is about Phillipides, the sole hero of Greece, leading the army to victory, engineering peace treaties with Sparta, defeating traitors, and winning the girl. In other words, it's a Hercules movie. The film features lots of wet-diapered Greeks versus Persians in Smurf hats, a feature effectively lampooned in the concluding host segment. I thought most of the commentary track (from which the title of my review came) was good, in fact the writing was among the best of the first four Film Crew releases; likewise I enjoyed the very un-politically correct vignette at the end. I thought the brief tale of "Walter S. Ferguson" in the extras would have been more effective if it was shorter. I recommend the film to MST3K fans without reservation; likewise I recommend it to the fans of the Hercules genre (all three of you).
