Review of Conan the Barbarian (1982) by Sam B — 14 Jun 2009
"What is best in life?".
Ah-nuld gets jiggy with the witches and battles the snake clan in this self-consciously ridiculous Dungeons and Dragons romp. Is it me or did Peter Jackson nick some cinematography ideas from this for LOTR?! The 'chasing the Uruk-Hai' wide shots from the Two Towers is VERY similar to some scenes in here. He'll never admit to that.
There's some surprisingly sharp dialogue among the nonsense.... don't think I'll bother with Conan the Destroyer though!
