Arnold Schwarzenegger punches a camel in this. That alone is worth three and a half stars.

pd187Jul 5, 2016"Life and death, the same." Power as virtue. One of the great high fantasy films, and the magnificent product of no less than three huge, even megalomaniacal egos.

Mongol General: Conan! What is best in life? Conan: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women. Mongol General: That is good! That is good. Me: Nah, it's watching Conan the Barbarian. Conan: I'd like to change my…
Aberrant GhoulDec 14, 2024That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Yes! A groundbreaking blend of raw machismo and charismatic nihilism. This is a film crafted with pure passion, unafraid to embrace its true nature. This opened the doors for fantasy to reach its full bloom and, beyond that,…

Worst film in existence!! I have no idea what was going on. My soul was hurting from watching this. By far one of the worst films ever. It was so unbelievablely bad I suffered watching the whole thing so I appreciate any other movie I watch in the future more. Avoid this film!!!!
JG911 likedConan the Barbariangoing back to see this movie...there's alot of pieces missing, it jumps from scene to scene. however I love the way the screen looks dirty, almost like youre in a time capsule and watching how this old movie youre a part of now. great flick
Hasvik lovedConan the BarbarianI love everything about this. from the clunky action to the charmingly dated effects, to the booming score and ofcourse Arnie giving 110% in a language he barely spoke. just amazing.
- Scranton Strangler likedConan the Barbarian
love this classic and how its kinda turned inti a cult classic but this is where Arnild hit the big one. He doesnt have alot of lines and the script is slow but its so good.
MickSam likedConan the BarbarianI would appreciate if the dark fantasy vibes weren’t interrupted by Conan showing off how much more he gets than me every two seconds.
Mickerdoo likedConan the BarbarianYeets a witch, punches a camel, skews a snake, 80s style soft-core and an animorph. What more could you ask for. Really went for it.

Austin Chronicle
Milius has nothing to say: this 1982 film only hints at the romantic heroics of The Wind and the Lion and has none of the personal quality of Big Wednesday.

I liked a lot of it myself, and with me, a few broadswords and leather jerkins go a long way.
