Krull is garbage, it just has a cool weapon.

The first three Harry Potter movies are pretty good too

The weapon was retarded, what was cool was the villain, his fortress, his minions the slayers and changelings, the soundtrack, and multiple other factors

Highly misunderstood movie. Everyone thinks of it in terms of the entire franchise instead of what it's really about which is how a man who lives forever can find a reason to keep living. For the Kurgan it's the game itself, and he wants to get it over with because he's the strongest, honor bound to the game, and just wants to get it over with so he can finally die. For Conner he's not sure anymore but falls in love so he only wins the prize because he's in love. It's a romance. They shouldn't have cut the scene where an immortal just stops fighting kneels and tells the Kurgan he wants to die.

>>201741741
Exactly, he's jealous of mortals ability to die. His comment "It's better to burn in hell than to fade away" is a confession. He's burning in hell and wishes he could just fade away. His civilization is long dead. Everyone hates him. Notice how he puts out the candles for the dead before this scene, and his salute to Connor and Smile when he realizes he's about to die? The Kurgan isn't a psychopath, he's an extremely lonely depressed man living centuries too long yet still heroic in a way in that he won't compromise the ideals and morals of his barbaric era when all that mattered was being the strongest.

Why did you watch literally every fantasy movie ever made if so few were good? Sounds like you should have figured out the juice wasn't worth the squeeze after the first 500 bad ones. That is, unless you haven't seen them all and are making a baseless blanket statement, but I'm sure you're better than that.

Watched conan the barbarian recently. Arnold is a literal retard in the movie, can't even string a few words together. Plot was decent but I guess thats due to Conan the Cimerian novel.

It definitely is kind of a shit genre overall, which is really weird. I can easily name 20 great science fiction movies that aren't a aprt of some giant IP but fantasy just has almost nothing good that isn't a household name.

It's funny because on the surface Conan has everything /tv/ needs to call it woke. A diverse cast, strong warrior woman, out of place black man and white women lusting after said black man. Yet it's kino. How does that happen?

Once upon a time, Hollywood cast women and blacks when they were perfect for a role, not to fulfill an arbitrary quota.
>>
>>201745163
>A diverse cast, strong warrior woman, out of place black man and white women lusting after said black man

it also didn't stop contemporary reviewers like Ebert from calling it a big bad scary racist, fascist movie anyways
>>
Where is this guys? Whos got a copy?
>>
>>201738276
Conan the Barbarian I would hesitate to class as fantasy, as it's written more as a realistic high adventure and the 'magic and fantasy' elements are minimal, unlike the sequel film which is typical sword and sorcery fantasy large ham.

But to be fair, the lack of actual 'fantasy' elements is what makes the first Conan hold up so well. And the fucking killer score by Basil Poledouris helps a lot too.

It had some bad and some good but it all fell apart in the last act and made the whole movie bad.

>>201746358
Too many redeeming qualities to call it bad. Id definitely like to see them take another crack at the franchise. I think itd be especially charming if they cast all the same actors as completely different characters in the same universe. Although im not sure chris pine has the range to play anything else

Thulsa Doom was a sorcerer of an ancient race and not a negro (which do commonly exist in Hyboria) hence his unusual combination of dark skin, blue eyes and pin straight hair.
