Add a CommentThis movie was entertaining and interesting but not one of my favorite for this year. “Not too bad---good performance”. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”
I watched this on television when I was a kid and was immediately drawn into swordsmanship and medieval-like things. I really fancied how Arnold fought in this one.
I know this movie has its problems but it also has so much going for it. Schwarzenegger is, at least visually, a great Conan. His acting is not the greatest. The set designs and weapon designs are wonderful. The soundtrack is unbelievably beautiful and fitting. The Sword fighting is very realistic and fun to watch.The big mistake the producers made was to take a bunch of Conan stories and weave them into one story instead of just focusing on one of the great Robert E. Howard stories available. The same thing happened with the remake last year. This is still well worth watching. I love it, despite the movie's faults.
A painfully slow, but all in all standard sword and sorcery epic, nothing too special, but nothing too horrendous.
