: Conan The Barbarian

What is the point of this film? It’s quite violent and brutal, but there’s no point to anything. The “plot” is a young kid watching his family slaughtered by a bad guy and then he grows up into a hulk warrior who’s on a quest to find the bad guy and kill him for revenge. That’s pretty much it. It’s ugly and pointless and the character of Conan is nothing more than an angry boy who strikes out blindly. Some of the sets are interesting and one or two of the deaths are creative, but the whole thing is so dreary and depressing. Even the action isn’t compelling. Very sad because I like this genre.
