Sorceress is further proof that a movie does not have to be good to be entertaining.
Pretty much every aspect of it is a mess. The acting and costumes are amateurish at best. My friends and I had better fight choreography as kids on the playground pretending to be the Ninja Turtles. The creature design is... disturbing. That goat man is going to give me nightmares tonight, and the sky-god-lion-dragon-thing was ripped right out of some bad Lovecraft fanfiction. The plot was... a plot. It had characters and they did things, and sometimes motivations for doing the things were expressed.
But all that said, I enjoyed Sorceress more than some more serious attempts at the sword and sorcery genre I've seen. Even with its many flaws, you can tell that the people involved in this movie really "went for it" 100%. It was actually engaging, which always makes a movie worthwhile. The flaws I mentioned previously were quite noticeable, but didn't detract from the movie experience, if that makes sense. If you enjoy some ridiculous trash from time to time, give this movie a chance.
