Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good). A lot of it is surprisingly great. Then again, a lot of it is standard 80s action movie crap.
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 4/4 (Great)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). The first half hour or so of this movie is brilliant. There's huge cinematic potential for Conan, and for that brief moment at the beginning of it all, they get it right. As for the rest of the movie, there's nothing particularly wrong with it - just a perfectly good but unremarkable action movie, with a handful of memorable scenes.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.7/4 (Good)
