There are positives in this movie. The scenery at times is good. The women are all pretty, and for the most part show a lot of leg. The story is based on the classic cosmic myth that is the basis for many religions. There is an evil king (Orion) who is counseled by wise men (belt of Orion) about a child who will usurp the king (coma).The king has a slaughter of the innocents (Eridanus @ Rigel) and there is a maiden (Virgo). Add to that the legend of Excalibur and I think you get the general plot of the story.The script is bad. The acting is bad. The costumes are very bad. The armor worn by the knights does not cover their arms and legs. The knights who wear the armor walk around all the time with their helmet visors down. The movie made use of eerie "special effect" contact lenses, voice enhancers and cheap rubber masks. The guy who is the "chosen one" is supposed to lead the battle against the king, but he can't fight a lick. He takes fighting lessons during a music montage that includes a belly dancer. His brother who is a fighter is in prison. What was the midget in the costume with three fingers supposed to be?The cover on the DVD looks like this would be a great epic action adventure such as Conan. Don't be fooled. This would make for a great MST movie. You might want to watch it stoned and have a good laugh. Talking and cell phones are permitted during the movie.

Bad acting, bad dialog,bad writing, bad directing, bad special effects, and bad musical score but other than that a good movie. The only saving grace is the queen's scantily clad Amazon guards. The male soldiers were armor but the ladies do not require much more than a loin cloth. This movie could not make up its mind whether to be soft core porn or a serious film and as a result it was neither. I have seen better acting in porn films as well as better plots. And what is with those fake British accents?I cannot believe that someone had $200 million dollars just laying around that needed to be spent on this dog of a movie. Surely there are more worthy causes that could benefit from this money. Scholarships for clown college perhaps?

i can't believe that someone took the time to invest money into this horrible storyline. The customs used looked as if they were purchased from the Walmart Halloween section, and the makeup from a junior high school drama room. The studio should be forced to reimburse anyone who was fooled into renting this piece of trash. The actors are juvenile in their attempt to acting, the action scenes pitiful. They can't even make the blood look real. This is the lowest of acting from a usually good actor Billy Zane He certainly reached a low point in his career with this flick. Don't bother renting or taking the time to even consider it.

Hear ye, hear ye.....if you think that this kind of language is impossibly exciting then you will probably tolerate JTP.....but seriously....Every single cliché ever is trumped by some of the worst filming lighting and sound, if you were to gave a bunch of renaissance fair geeks some high quality cameras and a wardrobe budget that would be (verily) a massive improvement. The acting would grace any high school stage - and in fact the whole exercise looks like it was cooked up by a high school drama team.The only magic here is the amazing trick that someone pulled in getting this greenlighted - promote that person I say - they managed to turn a pile of manure into well, more manure, while still making gold from dross for themselves - now that's magic.If you love anything with magic, knights, and princesses, then don't, just don't, seriously, there is nothing remotely magic about this and you will watch and then go off and burn your costumes in shame.Definitely only for the fanboys.....and then probably not even them....
