Conan the Destroyer



Conan the Destroyer, 1984. An evil queen sends some people on a quest.

Directed by Richard Fleischer. Written by Stanley Mann; story by Roy Thomas & Gerry Conway, based on a character by Robert E. Howard. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). As a fantasy/adventure B movie, it's reasonably entertaining (if very badly written and acted). It is definitely not a Conan movie, though. A shirtless Arnold plus a sword does not equal Conan.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.8/4 (Eh)
