November 13, 2007The first Arnold movie I saw growing up. And still love it to this day. I just like the atmoshere, and how evrything is all gloom and doom. And Arnold gets revenge for what happens to his family. Just a good movie.

August 12, 2007Love this film. Strong, romantic and action packed. Fantastical and like one of those awesome role playing games, not the bed room kind(well maybe). Arnie is exceptional, even the music score is compelling.

November 9, 2007This is one of the only barbarian/fantasy movies that really takes itself seriously. It doesn't have any of the self-deprecating, tongue-in-cheek attitude that so many copycats of this movie had (including 'Conan the Destroyer'!).
