Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Kenjac – ★★★☆☆
“Ironmaster is a fun and cheesy prehistoric action flick with some surprisingly good makeup effects and a charmingly low-budget atmosphere.” -
Justine Smith – ★★★☆☆
“Not historically accurate in the slightest, but it’s hard not to get swept up in the sword-wielding madness and primal drama.” -
Logan Kenny – ★★★☆☆
“Campy and full of spirit, it’s exactly the kind of movie you watch late at night with a group of friends and some drinks.” -
Xanadon’t – ★★★☆☆
“The production is much more ambitious than you might expect, and while it gets silly, there’s a real love for the genre on display.” -
Graham Williamson – ★★★☆☆
“A proto-conan romp that’s more endearing than thrilling, but its earnestness makes it worth the watch.”
