Review of Conan the Barbarian (1982) by Brad G — 28 Jun 2012
A masterpiece of High Adventure, John Milius' Conan The Barbarian might not perfectly capture Robert E Howard's creation but it definitely ensnares the spirit of Frank Frazetta's iconic paintings.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a beast of a man, forced upon the Earth by James Earl Jones' thirst for steel and flesh. A brutal fantasy adventure that has not been matched despite many anemic attempts to capture the power of The Barbarian.
And has Schwarzenegger ever been more perfect for a role? I think not. VF.
