Gratuitous Llama Netflix Movie Review

Kull the Conqueror (1997)

The last entry in my Temporary Bachelorhood Barbarian Film Festival, I realized shortly after I popped this in the DVD player that I had seen it already. A little while later, I realized why I was supressing the memory - what a dog of a film. No imagination, no humor, no camp spirit, no revelling in its own silliness. And not even anything like real action to carry it along.

And as for acting? Well, it's pretty clear that Ahnold's Conan still holds the Barbarian Hero crown and that he has nothing to fear either from Kevin Sorbo's Kull or The Rock's Scorpion King. But Jaysus, here Sorbo makes The Rock look like Laurence Olivier. No doubt about it, ladies and gentlemen, Sorbo is the back marker of the lot.
