I cant believe this is rated 6.9

I don't really think of it as a superhero movie. I suppose it shares the ties to mythology. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the Conan comics; I know the short stories and longer narratives that Robert E. Howard laid down (well, most of them) so he's a pulp hero to me, and a kind of modern myth, but he isn't a "superhero" or "comic book character" as such.

7 out of 10 is a pretty good rating, no?

It's above average. But it's not "Citizen Kane". Has Schwarzenegger ever been nominated for Best Actor? 🤣

Craftwise it's a well done flick. But 7/10 is about right as a rating.

He's Conan. I'm Onan. And when I say 7/10 you can buy it.

It is a good Fantasy movie. But for a Conan adaptation it is less than that. I would not watch it again.

The rating is a disgrace.

Yes, the movie was influential enough to make Arnold a star and start a whole 80s genre... but it's not that great. Good, fun, but not great cinema. 6.9 is fair.

in my top 10 of all movies of any genre , i love the story telling and the atmosphere.

The movie: 7/10 sounds about right
The soundtrack: 10/10

John Milius was a director who had something to say, but I prefer his Big Wednesday.
