Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

pattimorey This movie, the Barbarians, is a joy to watch. Just a fun easygoing movie with a great plot, great looking characters, and i just so enjoyed the good humor of the 2 brothers! i am going to purchase this movie. it is in the same type of genre as the Last StarFighter, Willow, etc. - excellent enjoyment, a lot of fun!

TickledMagenta First Impressions:After a long day at work I was scrolling through on demand's strange collection of impact movies only to find this little gem. Reading that this film was about twin warriors fighting a David Bowie looking villain, I could hardly resist. Having a twin sister of my own I found that David and Peter Paul worked well together and actually shared some funny moments on screen.The look:The sets where much better looking than I expected (I loved many of the exterior shots, exotic looking locations), acting was good, and many of the characters were certainly enjoyable (The twins were the best, hands down). The good:This film delivers what it promises; to be a Conan-ish 1980s sword and sorcery flick with a little humor, heart, and horses. I like how the actors/actresses play off of each other and getting whisked away into the fantasy flick.The bad:Some of the effects and music where a bit dated; I understand budget restraints and rights could've been a factor BUT according to IMDb it states that it was estimated at around $4,000,000. The gore effects were mostly believable but that dragon was only a head, you couldn't fool me.The ugly:The sorceress was far too flat for my liking. Compared to Lynch, talk about lame villain, nice look going though. I couldn't understand her motivation so much other than jealousy. The women in this flick sadly fell under the damsel in distress route far too often. I can't name one time that they encountered peril and got themselves out. Kara never even used the bow and arrow she eventually acquired, what gives? (I'm no feminist but come on, bring on the hurt!)Overall: I'd love to watch this one again, might even buy it and enjoy it with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. The version I saw was pretty rough though, looked like an old VHS rip. I won't get my hopes up if the double feature set with the Norseman on Amazon looks much better though. Toodles.

JamieWJackson Yep, it's a bad movie. What makes it watchable anyway is that it has a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor and takes many scenes over the top on purpose.The Bros. are hilarious, as nothing can stop them! Not trickery, not villains, not monsters, and certainly not an utter lack of any acting ability! Richard Lynch will forever be missed. Crazy hair or no, he was about as good at being bad as anybody ever was.As for Eva La Rue, this was -- per IMDb, anyway -- her first role. Her voice was totally unconvincing dramatically, but boy was she ever cute!! Still is, too. Someone said they thought she must wish this would disappear, but I wouldn't think so. If youth and cuteness don't entitle you to have some campy fun, what good are they?4/10, but add at least 2 more stars if you're into cheese.

movieman_kev Kutchek and Gore are two orphans who got abducted by an evil warlord who makes a promise not to kill them. They go up into the Barbarian Brothers (the brothers if you don't know are freaking' HUGE) who after learning that the warlord is less than altruistic in his intentions, decide to break free and restore the balance. The two are stupid fools but they're big enough that no one cares. This movie is one of those films that's so bad it's good and is definitely tongue-in-cheek. Many highly quotable lines and I enjoyed it immensely.My Grade: B- Eye Candy: a few breasts are bared
