Conan the Destroyer | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Michael C Four decades after its release, "Conan the Destroyer" is a movie I still cannot help but enjoy to a certain extent despite the fact the movie is not all that good and is loaded with problems and flaws. As I watch it I often ask myself why I like it at all. The movie's main story is good, but it is undermined by a script that is not well written. The ensuing quest was very underwhelming in the end. There are also problems with the casting. Not all of it is bad. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Grace Jones and Mako are all very good in their respective roles. Even Tracy Walter does a decent job. However it is easy to see why "Conan the Destroyer" was the late Wilt Chamberlain's' first and last movie. He was horribly miscast as Bombaata, the Captain of Queen Taramis' guards. He made Sophia Coppola look like Meryl Streep. Olivia D'Abo is not terrible in her role as Princess Jenna, but she was not all that great either. To her credit I have seen in her in roles later in her career and she has consistently done a good job of acting. A major problem with her character is her attraction to Conan. She was fifteen at the time of filming. To the movie's credit, Jenna's attraction is not returned and he ultimately rebuffs her (Which I think was the right thing to do.). Despite the problems the movie does have positive highlights through out whoch I guess is why I still enjoy watching it today. Among such things is the, for the most part, well staged fight scenes, the climax with Dagoth is also well done. How can I forget Conan's drunken conversation with Jenna. That has stood the test of time. In the end, "Conan the Destroyer" is a movie I would enjoy, but would never recommend to anybody because they would think I am nuts. Still I try as I might, I just can't help but like it. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Howard H Special effects/costume choices are a little difficult to view at times. Dialogue and accent becomes a problem at times. Conan and two only, characters ensure is ok to watch.

Do not expect oscar winnign speeches ok? Monsters and swordplay and eve kick ass amazons yes! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Michael W This Conan sequel wasn't very good. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wilt Chamberlain, Oilivia D'Abo, Sarah Douglas, Grace Jones, Mako, Tracey Walter, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot of the movie was peculiar and ridiculous. It's about going on a mission to get you want only to discover it was all a lie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: O 2º e ultimo filme de #Conan com Schwazenegger, depois deste faz uma participação em Red Sonja (Brigitte Nielsen). A estoria de Conan nos quadrinhos são sempre de um Barbaro ao estilo Ridick que enfrenta várias feras e bruxos e exércitos e vence. Conteúdo dos mais ricos e com o ator certo, porem este Conan Destruidor deixa muito a desejar em sua estoria, roteiro e enredo.Parece que foi feito nas coxas. Uma estoria fraca, com inimigos fracos que lembra o Minotauro da série do "Sitio do Pica-Pau Amarelo" com inimigos de categoria "D". A estoria é de uma bruxa que quer ressucitar um demônio,mas para isso precisa de um chifre que esta em um castelo de gelo encantado e de uma princesa virgem. E para essa missão contratam Conan, não sei porque se eles tem capagas que podem exevcutar a missão. Mas deixa para lá. Então Conan aceita a missão com a promessa de que a bruxa ressuscitaria se amor. Assim segue a estoria e Conan forma sua equipe com Mayo e também Zulu. Com um enredo fraco e monstros que até em Ultraman são melhores. No final Conan descobre a real intensão que é matar a princesa e mata-lo. Até que vem a última batalha contra a fera demônio da até vontade de rir.Vale apena assistir? Se você é fã de Conan e de Arnold e quer ver os filmes de inicio de sua carreira.Nota: 3 Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
