I feel you on the start. It felt way too serious at cliche fantasy to seem good. I was just looking to pass the time, though, and kept watching. I ended up loving the movie by the end.
Mostly because Tim Curry as the devil, but it definitely has that 80’s live movie magic going on. If the movie itself gets boring, there’s enough in the costumes and sets and the whole craft of it all to keep someone busy.
