Reviews
Conan the Barbarian still weaves a spell capable of ensorcelling fans of fantasy adventure-James Berardinelli, ReelViews
A film that lives in moments: the attack on Conan's village; the "crush your enemies" scene; Conan practicing his swordsmanship on a windswept steppe; all enveloped in Basil Poledouris' stirring, stentorian, never-bettered score-Travis Johnson, Flicks
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the muscle man, stars in this mythical beast of a movie, based on pulp magazine tales of the 1930s. He's good as Conan, and the film is technically splendid-Peter Stack, San Francisco Examiner
A dynamite movie for comic book fans... The moment Thulsa Doom turns into a snake will either thrill you or make you squirm, but you will watch in fascination-Scott Cain, Atlanta Journal Constitution
Balls-to-the-wall swordplay flicks don't get much better than this-Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
