Review 4K Movie

With 1982 classic Conan The Barbarian, writer/director John Milius and champion bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger not only made the best fantasy adventure movie of the 1980's, but also one of the finest motion pictures ever. I applaud director John Milius's choices. Although unconventional, he made them work. Casting many non actors with Arnold as the lead was one of them. What Arnold lacked in acting skills, he more than made up for with presence, charisma and the ambition and dedication to succeed. His million dollar physique and massive athleticism did'nt hurt either. Plus Milius, made the best use of the rest of the cast. James Earl Jones brings class and menace to evil cult leader Thulsa Doom. Max Von Sydow has a brief but memorable cameo as King Osric. Although definitely in the fantasy realm, most of what is contained in the film is authentic and realistic. In this period(the early 80's)many of these type of films were taken less seriously by those that made them and were very campy and tongue in cheek. The tone of this film is pretty serious. While there are a few one liners and some humor sprinkled around, this project has a deadly serious theme of revenge and Conan is a product of tragedy and violence. The film looks sharp and the sets, costumes and weapons are all top notch. The action choreography is fluent and the fight scenes look great. Basil Poledouris's epic score is truly the best and helps carry along the story with little dialogue. It also gives the film an operatic quality that makes the film more powerful and gives it a lot of class as well. Conan The Barbarian is a timeless classic that holds up well. John Milius is truly a genius and one of the most underrated filmmakers of our time.
