Review of Conan the Destroyer (1984) by Apostolos M — 11 Jan 2013
I have been captivated by Conan's heroic fantasy world for many years. For this reason alone I am rating this film as 3/5. Do not expect a continuation of the first Conan film. 'Conan The Destroyer' is too light in its scope and Conan is not the same man anymore. The villains are also not as menacing.
Having said that it was good to see Grace Jones and Sarah Douglas and also Conan's companions had good lines and were very funny at times.
As a side note I found the adjective 'Destroyer' in the title quite misleading and unfortunate. For those of us that read the Conan novels we see Conan driven by his own motivations, and fighting his battles only if he had to and not for the shake of destroying. The film distributors could have picked something else to promote the movie.
