A big, sweaty, pulpy adventure tale that's both exciting AND unintentionally amusing.

When it comes to the great lines (and mottos) of cinema, it doesn't get much better than this.

Not since Bambi's mother was killed has there been a cannier movie for kids than Conan the Barbarian.

Conan the Barbarian is an extremely long, frequently incoherent, ineptly staged adventure-fantasy set in a prehistoric past.

Let's face it: Arnold is well-cast. But the movie takes itself way too seriously.

John Milius is skilled at allowing his story to unfold as though you were reading a pulp novel, never letting you get bored. He always throws something at you that's reminiscent of the best in fantasy novels.
