Movie Reviews of Conan - The Complete Quest
Movie Review: Contemplate this on the tree of woe!
Summary: 5 Stars
Crucify him! These movies are great beyond belief. Arnolds best work by far. Real far. This takes Robert E. Howards classic tales of Conan the Barbarian to new hieghts. Both films take snidbits from different parts of the 12 original novels. Robert Jordan later wrote some Conan...but he sucked at it. The transalation from book to screen in this is amazing. I've never seen a more believable role than Arnold as Conan. Grace Jones is amazing in The Adventurer....I've read that she broke many of the extra's bones in the fights scenes. What an insane individual! The music in these movies is somewhat of a marvel itself. Incredible! I bought the soundtrack off of ebay and listen to it often! The DVD's have the missing scene where Conan hits it with it with the pseudo-manly chick. That's probably the only dispointment in this whole 4 hours of heaven....just like the squid scene in the goonies. I can't say enough good things about the Robert E. Howard hero Conan...or these movies based upon the idea. This is what dreams are made of.Movie Review: both are fine adventures
Summary: 5 Stars
Many people don't seem to liek the sequel, but for me it was even better, a little faster paced, more action and Conan is still the Arnold strong man we know and love.
the first movie is for sure a classic, but has a slightly different pace and tone, but it is one of Arnolds best, and both these movies have ruined conan forever more..because no one but Arnold can be conan for me, a few have tried, but he did it best.
the extras are all for the first movie, a shame since an uncut version of the sequel would be great, but at least it's not all bare bones.
if your needing a new wizards and warriors fix after the LOTR ends, then look no further.
Movie Review: Conan at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert E Howard's memorable charachter, for those who never read a novel or a comic of him he is a barbarian from Cimeria who started an adventure to become a king; he was a thief, pirate, slave, gladiator, hunter, bodyguard, General of an army and finally a King. The adventures are surrounded by fights and beautiful women dressed in tiny outfits.
This DVD contains the 2 movies made by Arnold (the ones who made him a celebrity), the first one features part of his infance and a revenge, the second a boduguard job.
These are cult movies for those who like Conan or those who like fantasy and swordmanship adventures.
Movie Review: A Great Adventure story both of them!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Arnnold Schwarzenegger since I was a little girl and when I heard he became the Gov of California a few years ago I own the complete Terminator trilogy but I am not going to see the fourth terminator movie since it looks really not so great but otherwise these two movies: Conan the barbarian & conan the destroyer is a great adventuroues movie from start to finish on both, you will be on the edge of your seat from start to finish on both movies. They are great action/adventure flicks right to the end and I strongly recommend whoever likes action/adventure movies should get this movie!!Movie Review: Good thing it was cheap
Summary: 5 Stars
The "Complete" set was one disc. It looked like they'd planned to make it more originally, based on the packaging, but no, we have one disc. CtB on one side and CtD on the other. The special features were okay, but not impressive. If you're in the mood for a laugh, listen to the commentary. Some people apparently only make sense when reading a script, shall we say? It's worth the amount paid for it, but it wasn't what I was expecting from something that was supposed to be definitive.
