Review
When Conan is a young boy he sees how his villagers gets killed by a man called Thulsa Doom and his soldiers. Conan gets captivated and he grows as a slave. Later he learns to fight and when he is set free he will search for the revenge.
Conan the Barbarian is purely pleasure to watch, and especially listen. Epic fantasy movie with fights, magic and some kind of love is like a tabletop game Hero Quest would have been born as a movie. Visually this movie was beautiful, it has well made moody lightning, story is interesting and almost every aspect of this movie just works.
Of course the visual effects are not the best looking effects anymore, but they are not bad either if you are used to see old movies.
I like this movie. It is a straightforward action fantasy what is easy to enjoy and its music are just top notch.
