User Reviews

A movie that teaches us what is best in life. Conan is a masterpiece of sword & sorcery.

One of the better s&s flicks. That said, it drags on at times and tests your patience. Could have benefited from a shorter cut. Solid 8/10.

One of the very best fantasy movies made!

Classic dark fantasy. It's just so cool. There are parts that keep it from being perfect but Conan does punch a camel.

Adam B. Hausser

A good entry into Arnold's movies. Okay story and decent action for the time. Didn't age well, but still worth a watch.

Incredible picture, music and great story. Heroic fantasy in the best possible way : simple plot, impossible love and final battle.

Geronimo Johnstock

I expected it to be so bad it’s good, but turns out it’s genuinely pretty good! James Earl Jones commands every scene he’s in

The fantasy epic that brings the classic Barbarian to life! One of the best fantasy films ever made.

For a big dumb swords & sorcery movie, it sure has a sophisticated grasp on production design and visual narrative.

Great 80’s movie made for arnie, silly violent n bloody entertaining
