History YMMV / Krull

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The coin-op arcade game was one of the best in the mid-80's. The UsefulNotes/Atari2600 version is also pretty sweet, and one of the best licensed games for the system.

** The huge, translucent spider was supposed to feature in an action sequence that was cut from the script, so it mostly just kind of hangs around and makes a slight nuisance of itself while the music [[MundaneMadeAwesome keeps trying to sell its barely-existent danger]] as Ynyr visits the Widow of the Web:

-->'''[[Podcast/RiffTrax Mike Nelson]]:''' "''Calm down'', music."

* HilariousInHindsight: Kenneth Marshall here looks astoundingly like Creator/BenedictCumberbatch rocking his natural ginger look.

*** A crowning moment made even better by the (admittedly) {{Anvilicious}} {{Aesop}} that comes with it: whenever Ergo tries to use his magic for selfish ends, or as a BalefulPolymorph to punish others, [[LaserGuidedKarma it immediately backfires on him]]. The only times it works as he wants are this moment, and when he provided Titch with a puppy for a while--in other words, when he was selfless.

*** UpToEleven with the [[spoiler: fake Emerald Seer's death]].

** While the heroes try to tame the Fire Mares, some try to jump on them but fell off.

* HoYay: Perhaps there's a little between Ergo and Rell. Certainly there's something about the way Rell looks at him upon that first encounter....
** Not to mention that [[spoiler:when Rell stays behind to die]], Ergo is the only one who shakes his hand, with a dejected "We had no time". No time for ''what''?

* DuelingMovies: With ''Film/TheDarkCrystal''.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51vdPsLHal4 main theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwQZ9UrnyJw music]] during the scene where the group rides the Fire Mares to the Black Fortress.

* CultSoundtrack: Music/JamesHorner's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51vdPsLHal4 score]] for this film has gotten ''four'' different album releases, each one expanding on the previous one. Though, one of the chief complaints is that the score is 50% of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', and a third ''Film/BattleBeyondTheStars''. (In fairness, it should be noted that he had a packed 1980s - in 1983 ''Krull'' was one of his ''eight'' projects[[note]]The others - ''Film/UncommonValor'', ''Literature/GorkyPark'', ''The Dresser'', ''Film/{{Brainstorm}}'', ''Testament'', ''Between Friends'' and ''Literature/SomethingWickedThisWayComes''.[[/note]])

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Ergo briefly turned into a goose and comes at Colwyn.

* {{Tearjerker}}: The HeroicSacrifice by the Widow of the Web. Her BackStory makes it sadder, as well as the UnrequitedLove.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwQZ9UrnyJw music]] during the scene where the group rides the Fire Mares to the Black Fortress.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music during the scene where the group rides the Fire Mares to the Black Fortress.

** The Cyclops standing in the dark, where you only see his one eye. This freaked out Ergo, who then decided to join Colwyn and Ynyr.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfFunny: Ergo briefly turned into a goose and tried to come at Colwyn.

** Not to mention that [[spoiler:when Rell stays behind to die]], Ergo is the only one who shakes his hand, with a dejected "We had no time". No time for ''what'', I imagine?

* SoBadItsGood: It has its moments.
* SoOkayItsAverage: It has its moments.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: The Beast is shown with obvious camera tricks. According to the ''Podcast/EightiesAllOver'' podcast this was due to the expensive animatronic proving unable to function as intended, forcing the filmmakers -- including a director who simply didn't have fantasy experience -- to work around it.

* TheWoobie: Rell. His entire race, really. They asked for the power to see the future - and instead were granted the vision to see their own deaths.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The Beast was shown with obvious camera tricks.

* HilariousInHindsight: Kenneth Marshall here looks astoundingly like BenedictCumberbatch rocking his natural ginger look.
