Reviews for Conan the Barbarian
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.
Conan the Barbarian by John Millius is...one of the top ten motion pictures ever made.
Even 17 years after its release, Conan the Barbarian still weaves a spell capable of ensorcelling fans of fantasy adventure.
No comic book stuff here: the film is dark and gloomy with excessive violence.
...should appeal to most anyone with a bent for fantasy and swashbuckling derring-do.
