Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Paul Magne Haakonsen While this movie is no "Conan", it still was rather entertaining, and even more so if you enjoy the fantasy adventure genre.Story-wise, then the movie was quite stereotypical; a conflict of good versus evil, an underdog that will rise to be king against every possible odd.The story is about Kull, a former pirate slave, who happens to earn the throne and Crown to the Kingdom of Valusia. But dark things stir beneath an otherwise calm kingdom, and a wretched wizard brings back to life an ancient and long dead sorceress queen. To save the kingdom, Kull embarks upon a treacherous quest to the frozen north.The costumes and props were quite good in the movie, and really helped to bring the fantasy world to life. And I must say that I really liked the designs of the armors in "Kull the Conqueror".The music was adequate. Most of the time it was suitable and fitting for a sword and sorcery fantasy movie. But there were times where the music took on a heavy metal twist, which was really awkward and misplaced.As for the cast, then I will admit that they actually put together a good ensemble of acting talents for the movie. Kevin Sorbo is cut out for the sword and sorcery genre, no doubt about it. But Tia Carrere really brought something good to the movie with her usual charm and also with her portrayal of Akivasha.If you enjoy sword and sorcery and the fantasy genre, then you should sit down to watch "Kull the Conqueror", because it is an entertaining movie.

lost-in-limbo Around this time Kevin Sorbo was starring in the fashionably popular TV series "Hercules", so I guess it was only natural that he would go on to find himself starring in this sword-and-sorcery romp that's a cheesy, water-down version of "Conan the Barbarian" that felt like it was made for straight-to-TV. It uses the same world brought to us through the novels of author Robert E. Howard, as this was meant to be a Conan sequel; "Conan the Conqueror" but was changed to Kull for Sorbo when Schwarzenegger turned down the role. Kull a lowly born barbarian inherits the throne of Valusia and becomes a real favourite of the people. However the king's sons believe the throne to be theirs and conjure up an ancient spirit of darkness to rid Kull of their kingdom. However she has plans of her own. There's some mindless fun abound and Sorbo makes for a comfortable heroine, but it somewhat plods along and is fairly unimaginative with it being limited in most aspects. Namely its use of bland visual effects. Although we do get to see Sorbo smack lips with a hideous rubber looking demon. Then throw in the beautiful ladies Karina Lombard and Tia Carrere in her seductively villainous role. Thomas Ian Griffith plays it mean and Sven-Ole Thorsen chews up the scenery in the small part he has as the king Kull inherits the kingdom from. Sorbo actually brings a considerately articulate nature to his part. Stagy sets, cheap costumes and mechanical direction. It knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything more, but it just lacks energy despite barbarian smashing, corny dialogues and howling guitar score. "My whole life has been a quest."

disdressed12 i wasn't too impressed with this movie.it is in the style of both the Conan movies,but i didn't like it anywhere near as much.there was lots of action,but i still found it to be slow and boring.it becomes a bit more interesting from the halfway point on,but barely.i didn't find the acting very good,although Kevin Sorbo was good as the title character.but it was Tia Carrere who i thought was very impressive as the evil Queen.however,the only real reason i stuck it out was i noticed that the beginning credits listed Harvey Fierstein in the movie.he doesn't show up until about halfway through,but i liked him in his role.otherwise,the movie is tedious and very hard to get through.for me,Kull the Conqueror is a 4/10.

ccthemovieman-1 The only thing "slick" about this film is the video box cover. The movie is strictly Grade B material, although there are some nice special-effects and color to it. The lead actor is probably what gives this movie such a lower-grade feel to it. Kevin Sorbo, who has not exactly become a household name among movie actors, shows why as he plays "Kull." He doesn't look and he doesn't sound like a man from the medieval ages. Only his acting is medieval!The stupid dialog didn't help him, either. The sorcery with stupid doses of political correctness made the whole thing ludicrous. The leading lady wasn't any better: a broody, unlikeable Karina Lombard. You'd be better off with the horrible Steve Reeves Hercules movies of the 1950s - similar sort of thing.
