The acting was decent for Sorbo and the movie was entertaining enough, but....yeah it starts off with him being made king after trying to be a Knight, not alot of set up for it right at the beginning.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Indeed. Also the movie was all right. But sword and sorcery movies had happened before. And Conan 1 and 2 are the measuring stick against which all "main hero with a sword in a savage setting" will be compared to. And often times, they are found lacking.<br/><br/>Also, it came out in 1997. Good Will Hunting, 5th element, Titantic, Boogie Nights, MIB, Austin Powers, Amistad, Donnie Brasco, Event Horizon... there were a lot of good movies that were coming out and most had nothing to do with muscular people shoving blades in one another's faces.
