Conan The Barbarian - 1982 - 6/10

Decent adaptation of Robert E Howard’s Cimmerian hero.
Village destroyed by the Snake Cult, young Conan grows up thirsting for vengeance.
Milius was blessed with casting (James Earl Jones, Max Von Sydow, really?), an Oliver Stone script, and Ron Cobb’s design.
Money was spent on this, yet it still looks meager.
Simply not enough extras for the epic sprawl.
Nonetheless, I do watch this repeatedly, I appreciate the stunts, grim humor, and lack of CGI.
