Blu B Sep 18 For what it's worth Arnold is probably the best thing acting wise but even he isn't good. Even in 1985 the Girl Boss trope didn't work well than either. Sonja is such an unlikeable, wooden, and boring super soldier. Pretty much always emotionless and just very hard to like. The villian isn't good either. Now as subpar as they are nothing compares to Reyes Jr. & his guardian. God they are terrible, annoying, miscast, out of place, and you just wish they'd behead him already but unfortunately they never do. The editing and pacing are terrible here. At it's core this is a basic adventure movie of revenge and saving the kingdom. But it feels like stuff just happens with no buildup or introduction. Characters just appear with no explanation. Than on top of that stuff just happens that isn't done particulary well and doesn't really add anything to the story. It's not clear how one thing leads to the other. What Reyes Jr adds to the story besides a "loveable" sidekick for kids I'm not really sure. I feel like you could take him out completely and lose nothing if not gain a lot. Her & Arnold have no chemistry really. The whole ragtag group isn't likeable at all. You could rearrange pretty much everything that happens here and lose almost nothing. The ending becomes weird slapstick, drags, and just isn't interesting. Maybe it lost all the goodwill for me by that point. The music is alright but isn't anything special. The cinematgraphy isn't good. The one thing this has going for it is tons of production value. Great sets, overall good costumes, and good practical effects despite the metal dragon. But it's just used in scenes that don't add anything, the direction is just alright, and the characters aren't likeable. Skip this.

I’m a Gen X and I enjoyed it back then and I enjoyed watching again. It’s worth popping some popcorn corn and making a movie night to relive some 80s memories. Cinematic 3/5, Sword and sorcery 5/5.

Dnt listen to the neyseyers See more David W @Sternhammer Aug 9 Whist it's definitely the weakest entry in Schwarzeneggers 'Conan' phase, unlike most I throughly enjoyed this sword and sandals romp. Never did understand the vitriolic reception it garned in some quarters.
