Conan the Barbarian, the movie that turned Arnold Schwarzenegger into a global superstar, is a prime example of a match made in heaven. It's the movie that macho maverick writer-director John Milius was born to make, and Arnold was genetically engineered for his role as the muscle-bound, angst-ridden hero created in Robert E. Howard's pulp novels. Oliver Stone contributed to Milius's screenplay, and the production design by comic artist Ron Cobb represents a perfect cinematic realization of Howard's fantasy world. To avenge the murder of his parents, Conan tracks down the evil Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) with the help of Queen Valeria (played by buff B-movie vixen Sandahl Bergman) and Subotai the Mongol (Gerry Lopez). Aptly described by critic Roger Ebert as "the perfect fantasy for the alienated pre-adolescent," this blockbuster is just as enjoyable for adults who haven't lost their youthful imagination. --Jeff Shannon

"Conan the Barbarian" is full of violence, blood, gore, sex, nudity, and substance abuse. Being a father of 3, that makes this movie one of my biggest guilty pleasures!
Several observations:
* James Earl Jones is fantastic as the understatedly evil Falsa Doom
* "Arni" is the perfect Conan...buff, brusk, and focused
* The cinematography is just outstanding
* Great music score
* Not for kids (for reasons listed above)
This is a very good ... Read More

My husband has been looking for this movie at the video stores around town & no one had it so I ordered it from Amazon - he was so surprised & excited.

It has loads of blood & dismemberment & some softcore sex (how could someone make such a movie and get elected governor?;) I guess we're just lucky "W" wasn't a weightlifter) But it's the story of Conan and this is what Conan does if you've read any of the books or comic books (and Arnold looks like he's straight out of a comic book). Arnold did fine w/the dialogue he was given, which is pretty sparse. It's definitely heavy on the action side. It's a very simple story, but action keeps it moving, ... Read More

Conan the Barbarian is the ultimate guy movie. It has great action, violence sexy women and that is just on the surface. The story itself is epic and has had many copies even to this day. It's just a great story, a boy grows up and gets revenge for his parents being killed. The special effects for the movie are just great. I love this giant snakes and the spirits trying to take Conan to the afterlife. The music only adds to this story and everything combined makes this film come alive. Overall, a really ... Read More

Robert E. Howards comic books were one of the most amazing and explicit-graphic masterpieces in pulp novels history, and my own personal favorite. Such a fantastic world of warriors, wizards and monsters described a new dimension in wich the very muscular and mythological power was the way to overcome the most spectacular dangers, the display of ancient imagery and raw brainless macho skills to survive a cruel world were everything was permited. The posibilities were infinite, and Howard took the most of ... Read More
