Saw Dragonslayer.
There were some things I liked about the movie. One is that the actors took it mostly seriously. The mossy and rocky landscapes reminded me of my long trek through Death Stranding. There was some crazy puppets a la Dark Crystal. The score was symphonic and adequate. It was shot on film in decent sets and properly lit. The script needed more work and the actor playing the lead resembled a mix between Slayn the wizard from Lodoss War and Janosz Poha from Ghostbusters II (and it turned out that it was indeed the same actor, so it is indeed a small world after all.) Yet I would have to say that I enjoyed it far less than Hawk The Slayer despite it ostensibly being a better film.
Hawk the Slayer, in the words of a different reviewer, has the unique quality of a first-time viewer reassembling and rearranging all its parts inside his head to transmute them into a superior version - dare I say, the Platonic aspatial and atemporal Higher Form of Hawk the Slayer which could never be realized upon this imperfect, accursed Earth.

My final score of Dragonslayer is about a C++. Still better than modern
Hollyweird movies but there are far superior 80s fantasy movies out there.
