Review of Conan the Barbarian (1982) by Asif K — 09 Aug 2010
A big, sweaty, pulpy adventure tale that's both exciting AND unintentionally amusing. A classic and one of Arnie's earlier films. This is all muscles and swordplay as he seeks revenge for what happened to him and his people as a boy.
A great fantasy adventure. The atmosphere, the characters, the fights, the settings and cinematography, it all has a very special feel to it and makes for a really enjoyable and rewatchable fantasy experience.
The story is actually a lot more complex than it is getting credit for. And Basil Poledouris' soundtrack is one of the most fitting and beautiful ones ever written. awsome.
