TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 Conan's problem's start almost straight away and so do the film's, with the picture somehow managing to be remarkably boring even when it's doing all of the brutal, sword-and-no-sandals action it's entirely based around. It remains bizarrely barren for the majority of its run-time. While Schwarzenegger certainly looked the part, with legend telling that he couldn't even initially hold the sword with two hands due to the size of his biceps and pecs, his acting left something to be desired and so did his character. This will make you long for his comparatively Oscar-worthy work in later films or the performances in which he literally plays a robot. There's a constant disconnect from the world in 'Conan The Barbarian (1982)' and its inhabitants, which makes for an incredibly passive viewing experience that lacks the engagement or spectacle to make it even a 'B-movie' fascination, just a dull one. 4/10

Mr.Crow Fantastic movie that has aged extremely well. Great music, pacing, story telling, and the amount of quotes that could be used for a high school yearbook is unreal.This is the difference between an adventure movie and an action movie. This is an adventure movie at it's heart when action scenes aren't the most important moments of the movie. Friendships bond, love is formed, mistakes are made, then mistakes are then corrected. I died during a boss fight while playing Dark Souls 3 simply from me being in amazement of the way some of the scenes are shot. My absolute favorite scene in when the group goes stealth mode and ambush the bad guys, lots of tension and buildup.Please even if you torrent it, just go out and watch it.

mwestphal2 Conan the Barbarian might just be a recipe for the greatest movie ever. Not only does this movie have Arnold in his prime, but it also has James Earl Jones, who might just be one of the greatest actors of all time. The film also has Max Von Sydow, which ends this film's connection to the Exorcist movies (except the scene where Conan has sex a witch and a demon comes out of her), and a whole lot of sex and violence.The musical score is absolutely amazing. Every scene has grand, epic music to go with the lavish production design, which eats up the screen like any good epic film would. This film and Excalibur, which came out a few years before this film, would be in the running for greatest musical score and production design pairing ever.What else can I say, but this movie has everything I could ever want. The movie does feel a little long at parts, but overall I would recommend this film to anyone who takes one look at the cover of the film and has an idea of what to expect, because you're going to get it.

Eric Stevenson Once again, I feel bad for not liking this. I mean, it's by no means a bad film for me. I just thought it was okay. The strongest parts are probably when they're talking about God, Gods, whatever. These really are some interesting and very emotional scenes. My problem with this movie is that it was just too long. I mean, there were a lot of scenes that just seemed like filler. There was too much of Arnold/Conan just wandering around in the desert. The battle scenes are quite nice, but the timing just seems to be off. There are too many subplots with him meeting all these people.That being said, there are some great scenes. I think my favorite is the very last one where he burns down the palace. This is all done without dialogue and you can totally see how good the emotions are. I also really like the costumes in this. Everything just seems set so well in its time period and it all looks so authentic. I guess I just prefer Arnold Schwarzeneggar's later roles. James Earl Jones is quite good as the villain. It's just that a lot of it goes on too long. I remember how Barack Obama is a fan of "Conan The Barbarian". I guess you can think of this review as a tribute to him in his last days of President. I am not looking forward to Donald Trump. **1/2
