A new Red Sonja movie recently came and went without much of a whimper. Did anyone actually catch it, and if so, was it any good? The little I read about it did not sound very promising.

There was a new Red Sonja movie?
I saw a publicity photo of it on Pay-Per-View On Demand. But, frankly, the title role actress in the photo wasn't cute enough to get me to shell out $5.99 for it.
As for today's composite? Intriguing! Makes me wonder if Red Sonja got her felonious hands on one of the Stones of Merlin?
I was going to ask precisely the same question. I had to Google it to find out about it. Apparently had a limited release in the US. Plot sounds fairly standard, and has mixed reviews. Nothing special from the sound of it.
I mean, one of them even wound up in the Nightmare Dimension! Prompting Dr. Doom to send Alison "Dazzler" Blair after it (for some unfathomable reason). So, why shouldn't another one somehow have wound up in the custody of Doc's ancestor, Thulsa Doom? The rest of the hypothetical story I leave up to Ross' imagination.
Today's cover would make a great part 2, for yet another trilogy, if Clea/Deadman were part 1.
Hm... What if Victor Von Doom were to make an appearance on the infamous mountain that bears his family name?
That, at least is a more interesting thought than trying to gather together every comic and animated version of Merlin (including the anime The Seven Deadly Sins).
Who's to say that Merlin wasn't a 6th century AD reincarnation of Middle-earth's Gandalf?
I'd heard that a new Red Sonja movie was in development, but had no idea that it had already been released! Jeez…
So the basic consensus is that while Red Sonja might suck as a cinematic barbarian, her comic book depictions are dynamite entertainment?
Raising the questions of how Red Sonja got there, why, and where she was to go afterwards.
Merlin has only ever been depicted in flashbacks of the enchanted gem collection's origin (especially in FF v.1/#5). Why he enchanted them, in the first place, remains a mystery! However, that, too, could be left up to Ross' imagination to explain.
Maybe she was trying to recruit Princess Amethyst for Big Barda's new Female Furies (see STF #4881).
These two were both candidates to be on Barda's team but as you can see, were busy. The next new Fury will be revealed soon.
I virtually tingle with anticipation. :-)
I'd rather see how Doomsday would fare against Sauron of Mordor.
With Deadman occupying the former's body?
What a surprising yet totally bad ass pairing.
Now there's a coincidence, I've been thinking a bit about Red Sonja recently (Not like THAT, get your minds out of the gutter...) I'm slowly putting together an 'Alternative History' story, for my own entertainment more than anything else, and decided to make the initial difference from our own history the existence of a certain red-haired swordswoman named 'Sonya of Rogatino' and the German knight named Gottfried von Kalmback with whom she teamed up to fight against Ottoman Turks around Vienna in 1529 according to REH's short story 'Shadow of the Vulture' : In the timeline that I'm designing they get married after a few years after that episode and produce descendants who are responsible for some of the changes in how later events work out...
How would that affect the Hyborian Age in which Red Sonja lived, 11,500 years prior to that? Or is this, like Robert Howard's own creation she is based on, a completely different character living in a completely different era in time?
@Simreeve and Jason: why not split the difference? Have REH's literary Sonya be the 16th century AD reincarnation of the Hyborian Age sword-wielding she-devil. An example of Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion Theory.
The Hyborian Age simply isn't part of my timeline's past.
