When I first saw this film, I thought it was average. My friends wanted to show me all the Arnold movies so I happily obliged. Years later I heard some people talking about how the original Conan stories by Robert E. Howard were excellent, so I picked up a physical copy of every one. Reading these short stories changed my entire perspective on the Conan movie.
Virtually everything in the film has nothing to do with the beautifully written world and characters of Robert Howard's vision. Conan himself in the movie is nothing like book Conan. The best way to describe movie Conan is big dumb guy, whereas book Conan though a barbarian, is cunning, resourceful, intelligent, and a born leader (he was literally birthed upon a battlefield).
The movie doesn't follow any plots from the original books, of which there are many. These plots are goldmines for good films, but the movie writers chose to ignore them.
Even the action in this movie is beyond terrible. There's no good fight choreography or grit to the action scenes at all. In the end, the movie is goofy.
The soundtrack and a couple of the dialogue scenes are the only reason for my 2 star rating.
