Product Description

Amazon.ca

If you're into sword-and-sorcery tales, look no further than this critically underrated big-screen fantasy based on the fiction of Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard. It was a troubled production and the outcome is far different from the more serious and intelligent epic that screenwriter Charles Pogue had originally conceived. Still, this is a giddy, energetic throwback to the Ray Harryhausen movie fantasies of the 1950s and '60s, and it's a perfect vehicle for Kevin Sorbo, the hunky star of TV's Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Sorbo brings an appropriate combination of depth and physical agility to the role of Kull (son of Conan), but he and director John Nicolella know better than to take this stuff too seriously. The movie's humor is nicely integrated into the dialogue without resorting to lame punch lines, and Tia Carrere is enjoyably campy as the evil goddess who lures Kull from his favorite concubine (Karina Lombard) as she plots to overthrow the kingdom of Valusia. Playwright Harvey Fierstein also provides comic relief in a scene-stealing role, and with an abundance of black magic, stunning Slovakian locations, and grand battles of good versus evil, this heroic adventure is more entertaining than you might expect. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't take it too seriously Sep 28 2004
By Teri Gee
Format:DVD
The story of Kull the Conqueror is quite stereotypical among fantasy stories: the hero saving the country from evil, etc. Still, that does not make the movie a bad one; on the contrary it is a surprisingly entertaining movie that never takes itself too seriously. I'm not putting Kevin Sorbo up there as one of the greatest actors of all time, but he fits in the role of Kull and does what is expected of him: he plays a hero. And in my opinion, he does a good job of that. Kull the Conqueror won't appeal to everyone, obviously, but as long as you don't take it too seriously, there is no reason not to enjoy watching.

3.0 out of 5 stars The difference being..... July 7 2004
By C. Ellison
Format:DVD
I didn't really have a problem with this movie. The whole thing was based on a character from Robert E. Howard novels (who technically is an ancestor to Conan of Cimmeria), had one of the same producers involved with the Conan movies, and the ORIGINAL soundtrack being hard and thunderous, enough to do Conan proud. I had no problem with this film, save for one thing....

Kevin Sorbo.

Yes, Mr. Pretty boy Hercules himself is placed into the role of Kull of Atlantis, ancestor to Conan the Barbarian, actually trying to play himself off as a barbarian. Would've been more believable to me had they gone with Lou Ferrigno, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or, dare I say, perhaps even Triple H. Apart from that one minute detail, the movie was terrific.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent enough movie despite what people say Jun 5 2004
By Sean E. M. Dence
Format:DVD
Kull's a pretty decent film despite what people say. It may be dumb but it's dumb fun and it's worth the price. It's a really enjoyable for a cheesy fantasy/barbarian action flick. I would take Kull over Conan any day. I don't know why so many people love Conan anyway. Kull is dumb fun but the Conan movies are just dumb.

"Kull the Conqueror" missed the mark by a mile. Robert E. Howard's Kull was a dark, brooding barbarian warrior from Atlantis who became a king. Read more

Kevin Sorbo plays "Kull", a barbarian. He tries to join another team but must prove himself worthy in a sword fight, in the water with swords-aflame, blindfolded. Read more
