It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s seminal role...Conan the Barbarian. Based on Robert E. Howard’s fantasy series, Conan and his band of thieves are hired to free a king’s daughter from the clutches of an evil sorcerer. While Schwarzenegger doesn’t do much “acting” per se, he has a tremendous screen presence that carries the film. Additionally, Basil Poledouris provides a majestic score that does an excellent job at giving the film an epic feel. However, there are some pacing issues that cause the film to drag at times, and the storytelling is a rather weak. Still, Conan the Barbarian is a classic ‘80s action film that delivers a thrilling adventure.
