The first one is the best Conan movie of the two. The second movie has a lackluster story line and boring characters. The directors it seemed, just made up the characters to suit the persona of the popular "performers" of their time. I mean, c'mon, Wilt Chamberlain, the basketball player and Grace Jones, the...whatever she does... bear tamer?.
Come to think of it, just watch the first one.
only a little bit to "soft" and willow-like (which is also a nice movie)
I remember Willow! Willow was a nice movie, "sword-and sorcery lite" more like. It has a decent story line, great characters and character progression and it's way better than Conan The second one.
p.s. thulsa doom is also cool
I can't believe James Earl Jones did Doom's character so well! Doom's a sadistic, evil, repugnant, megalomaniacal cult leader but those aside, he is calm, and collected and wasn't an over the top cliched bad guy. That alone, made him more stand out in the film.
