Conan - The Complete Quest (Conan The Barbarian/The Destroyer) Reviews

---

Great service
Ordered item arrived earlier than advertised and in perfect condition. Very satisfied and willing to do business with amazon again.

Crom!
Bah, a thousand deaths to the fool who would place disgrace on these films.

Although both CTB and CTD do not follow Robert E. Howard's stories very well, they are good in their own right. However, Conan the Barbarian has the luster of a diamond when compared with Conan the Destroyer. The first was created to play like an epic Wagner opera, with a great soundtrack by Basil Poledouris set against the story. Arnold's accent only enhanced his capabilities to play Conan, making him perfect for the role. Conan's quest to avenge the deaths of his parents leads him through love, loss, magic, and mystery as he traverses Hyboria. Conan The Barbarian was obviously unintended for young viewer's eyes, as blood and gore are abound in the first movie, amongst other things... This however, is where The Destroyer differs.

Conan The Destroyer was unfortunately dumbed down from it's predecessor to a hack and slash adventure that fell into the B' movie category. It has it's moments, and luckily Poledoris returned to do the score for the movie. But it didn't hold the magic that the first had.

Ultimately, the only movie you need to see of the series is Conan The Barbarian, but since this DVD comes packed with both films, why complain? At such a great bargain, this is an offer that even Crom would not pass up. So what are you waiting for? Buy it! Buy it now!!
