"Pros: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom A epic film score, by Basil Poledouris Epic sword action, and violence. The world building. Mako, Sandahl Bergman, and Garry Lopez The special effects Con: Conan the Barbarian’s violence, might be a bit overkill for some."

" “Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga.” A film adaptation of the classic sword and sorcery hero, Conan the Barbarian. A horde of rampaging warriors massacre the parents of young Conan and enslave the young child for years on The Wheel of Pain. As the sole surv"

"Rated: R Why it’s rated: He is after all Conan the Barbarian. Also, adult situations, profanity, and nudity."

" Conan "Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!""

"Hyborian Age/Cimmeria Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet. Conan was born in Cimmeria, a northern kingdom of barbarians, among the Snowhawk tribe. Why you wouldn’t want to visit Filled with monsters, warriors, and witches and sorcerers, unless you wield a sword, you wouldn’t survive here very long."
“While a little too long and a little too simplistic in the storytelling, there is a lot that makes Conan the Barbarian entertaining. It looks fabulous, with beautiful scenery, sets, costumes and cinematography, while the score is brilliant particularly in the first fifteen minutes. The dialogue is pretty good as is the direction, while the action sequences are top notch and the special effects decent. The pacing is brisk enough, while the acting I had little problem with. Arnold Schawarznegger is great as Conan, while James Earl Jones has fun as Thulsa Doom and Max Von Sydow is good value as King Osric. All in all, while no masterpiece Conan the Barbarian is very entertaining and worth watching at least once. 8/10 Bethany Cox” read more
