Terrible Movies Thread
Aurjay:
wait...Conan was good? I went to a midnight showing of this recently and seriously if it wasn't for the copious amounts of alcohol being served I would have walked out. T-1 great T-2 raping the 80's early 90's seriously if i had to hear him say Hasta la vista baby or No problemo ever again I will shove your dildo bike into my own skull saving you the trip.
Dimmukane:
Yeah, it was probably the only movie he's actually been any good in. Mostly because he doesn't speak unless it's necessary. And he doesn't have any retarded lines. I would even go so far as to say it was the best high fantasy movie of the 80's. Granted, there weren't a lot of good ones back then, but I would watch that over Return of the King or what have you any day.
Alex C:
Conan the Barbarian as a movie is kind of a Platonic ideal of the lunkheaded swords and sorcery genre. It's not a great movie by any means, but if you like that sort of thing to begin with, it becomes hard to find ways to suggest improvements. Making the damned thing more sophisticated somehow is kind of missing the whole point.
As far as T2 goes, it was a good movie. It was a good role for Arnold because a certain amount of awkwardness in doing anything but moving around and looking huge has a certain logic to it within the context of the film.
Dimmukane:
I'm not saying it's sophisticated. But I'll be damned if it wasn't fucking fantastic.
As a side note, it also has one of the best orchestral soundtracks ever.
