Brigitte Nielsen, as Conan creator Robert E. Howard's female warrior Red Sonja, gets an assist from Arnold Schwarzenegger in this enjoyably campy, Italian-lensed sword & sorcery adventure. Nielsen's thespian skills may be a bit stiff, but she certainly fills out the physical demands of the role, which asks her to look impressive with a sword as she avenges the death of her priestess sister and the theft of a sacred orb by an evil queen (Sandahl Bergman, also from the '82 theatrical Conan and a match for Nielsen's acting ability). Schwarzenegger (not playing Howard's barbarian king) lends some star power in a supporting role as a warrior assisting Sonja, and if the film stumbles in the acting, scripting, and special-effects departments, Richard Fleischer's direction and cinematography Giuseppe Rotunno are appropriately action-heavy and comic-book colorful (Fleischer also directed Conan the Destroyer and The Vikings); Ennio Morricone's bombastic score is another plus. --Paul Gaita

When I was a kid!.......2007-02-06

When i was a kid I had two main heroes, He-man and Conan well and maybe JOhn Wayne and Vincent Price!! I am now 24, I always loved the Conan films they are in my top five fantasy films, always enjoyable to watch, The first Conan is great, the 2nd was good more kid friendly and then theres Red Sonja, It's more liek Conan the destroyer, its pretty good but not as good. I still enjoy it, it is what it is! Its a film you either like ot dont like. As a kid my dad had to rent it over and over,The last time I had seen it I was maybe 8 years old. I just recently puchased it two days ago, and I have to admit those old kid feelings came back, and if a film can do that it's gets a good grade in my book.

Red Sonja is very, very good!.......2007-01-09

In the typical barbarian blood & guts fashion "Red Sonja" is a movie well worth purchasing and adding to your collection.

the cover suggests its better than it realy is........2006-10-02
