Another issue is the generic butt-rock music that accompanies the fight scenes the music for the rest of the film is epic and fits the period nature of the film, but the lame guitar riffs that get churned out during every fight is just annoying. Both ‘Red Sonja’ and ‘Conan the Destroyer’ suffered the same problem. The biggest problem the movie has is the damn PG-13 rating it keeps the movie from really delving into adult fantasy the way you want it too. One thing I found very enjoyable in the film was the liberal dose of humor not lame one-liners or goofy antics, but some solid humor that compliments the scenes rather than ruining them. Given their age, the FX and make are good without ever looking terribly real.
The locations and sets have a wonderfully fantasy feel to them and the assorted fight scenes are well choreographed and fast paced. A little bit of irony for you.Īs for the film itself, it does enough things right to entertain Sorbo fits Kull role perfectly (actually truer to the source character than Arnold ever was), Griffith is an effectively grim villain and Tia Carrere hams it up nicely as the evil Akiavasia. Interestingly, the first Conan movie took most of it’s story material from the Kull tales. As such, much of the story is actually taken from the Conan stories (‘The Hour of the Dragon’ in particular). ‘Kull the Conqueror’ originally started out as ‘Conan the Conqueror’, but after Arnold refused to reprise the role, the script was changed to accommodate Howard’s other barbarian hero, Kull. Holding onto his new throne will be much harder than taking it, as the blood heirs to the empire make a deal with a wizard to revive a 3000 year-old demon who seeks to kill King Kull and claim the empire for herself. Kull of Atlantis seeks to join the army of Velusia, but instead, through an unexpected turn of events, he finds himself proclaimed king of the empire instead.
