Reviews from Letterboxd:

  1. Kenjac★★★☆☆
    “Ironmaster is a fun and cheesy prehistoric action flick with some surprisingly good makeup effects and a charmingly low-budget atmosphere.”

  2. 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.”

  3. 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.”

  4. 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.”

  5. Graham Williamson★★★☆☆
    “A proto-conan romp that’s more endearing than thrilling, but its earnestness makes it worth the watch.”
