ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Rainey Dawn Is the film any good? No. Is the film at least fun? Yes. I agree the film does not take itself seriously. It's one of those lazy afternoon films when there's not a lot on and you simply want to rest watching a silly film - but you'd have to like sword and sorcery films to even begin to enjoy this movie.Acting is mediocre at best. Costumes, sets and creatures are cool enough. Lame story but somehow fun enough to keep me a bit interested. I can easily watch this film and let my mind wonder off without missing much of anything.Some funny scenes - I like the farting camel. LOL.The Conan films are better but this one but this one is alright enough for something different in the barbarian category.5.5/10
tronrontron This movie has enough dumbness, that it either is really bad, or that bad that it turns good.Fortunately the dumbness is a fun warrant. There is even this feeling the actors knew how cheesy this whole thing is, and played along with it, which makes it more fun.They have Kevin Sorbo in that movie, who is perfect for charikaturs of honorable heroes in the ages of swords and dragons.The chicks are awesomely how.Overall a 5/10, for the undeniable mind-hurt of stupidity and fun. The chicks, hmm, o.k. a 6/10
quincy-white I didn't see Kull when it first came out, not a fan of the Hercules TV show, or all the over-ironic self-parodies of the time, save Scream. But after becoming a fan of Robert E. Howard, and reading the original Kull stories, I decided to check it out.Dare I say it, I liked it better than the John Milius Conan the Barbarian. Kull the Conquerer, parodic though it was, still used more elements from the actual Kull stories, right down to character names. Taligaro, Zareta, although no Brule, maybe they were saving him for a planned sequel. Plot elements were there as well, including the famed line 'By this Axe I rule!' The characters speak in hip modern dialogue, part of the joke. Usually, this kind of thing gets on my nerves. But thinking about it, in Howard's stories characters were always articulate. In the John Milius/Oliver Stone scripted Conan movie it was apparently decided that because the characters were barbarians they...must...speak...very...slowly. At least in Kull we have complete sentences.Kull is still a very loose adaptation, but I found myself having fun during many of the fight scenes. From what I've heard, the new Conan movie in development is to be more loyal to Robert E Howard's work. I hope so. Until then, Kull, surprising as it is, will have to do.
Rabensblut I liked this film and it is very funny to see some of our locals to play in an American film. Quite the entire film was done in Slovakia (the sea scenes were done in Croatia), better say it is very funny to see a big flame rising out of Devin castle which is one of our national symbols (actually I am a tourist guide in Bratislava, and sometimes I take tourists in there, it is in suburbs of our city). I remember when the long haired people were taken as background into this film. So our guitar player got a small role in this film. He was telling us funny stories about the filming. Like he was running around with a bird cage full of chickens and he accidentally hit a donkey which started to act like crazy and the people had to calm it down. Or he told like they took a local homeless man to play a role so they didn't need to make makeups then :) . Really crazy stuff. U remember the the red haired twins in the crowd. U can meet them in the streets of Bratislava very often. To the film - it is a B-film but I liked it a lot. Good Howard S&S stuff. Kevin is the real person for this role and suites him well, he is more savage type than Arnold and if U read the Howard's Kull stories U can know that he is savage and strong, which doesn't mean that he has to be Mr. Olympia. Kevin is huge man (around 2m high) and is of good muscles enough for Kull. This is no Conan. Conan was more adventurer than Kull. Kull is more a king than that. Actually there are not many stories about his life before he became a king of Valusia. He is a strong person but not only in physical strength but also in decisions and ruling (By this Axe I rule) and is despising all what is modern and civilized. Kull is a part of every man. He is our savage part, when Conan there can be only one. Thatis why I liked this character so much. The other actors were quite good for a B-film, but were just playing background to Kevin Sorbos character.
