Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Absolutely Fantastic

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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

Well I mean he goes around shirtless the entire time. Maybe that's all TPTB thought he was good for, eye candy.This movie was basically Hercules the Legendary Journeys with the name Kull slapped on it. Yeah, but Herc's alright, right? It was a weekly campy TV show. Kull was a movie that was in the theatres that you shell out money for. It should be a tad bit better quality. More than a tad.Sorbo proves his acting range is limited. He doesn't even try to play a different character than Herc. There are no little nuances and characteristics in manner, facial expressions, and delivery. You ever see him in Andromeda? It's the same there. Basically playing Hercules again with a different name slapped on. Can you ever imagine this guy playing a part in Shakespeare? Even just a tiny role? Nope, I can't either.Karen Lombard and Litefoote were the best actors and seemed to take their roles, and their duty to fulfill a good delivery seriously. Everyone else just seemed like they were there for the paycheck. The plot was meh. I guess it was suppose to be the third part in Arnie's Conan movies. I liked the first one. The second was just OK. Kull lacked the mood, and at least Arnie had presence and a fierce expression despite being a non-actor. It's a B movie. What else is there to say. At least you get see Sorbo shirtless most of time. But seriously, to make a movie for the big screen which cost money for people to see, the logic was let's have Sorbo shirtless and it will be good? He's not that special. Not even close. Word.

It's entertaining enough in spite of being pretty dumb, but I can't quite give it a good rating. I haven't seen much of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, but I've seen enough to know that Kevin Sorbo's performance in that show is identical to his performance as Kull. The acting is about what you'd expect it to be in a mediocre sword & sorcery flick, Harvey Fierstein is particularly amusing. The makeup and costume design is good enough (save the final expensive Halloween decoration that is Akivasha's final incarnation), but nothing to write home about. Tia Carrere is a pretty generic antagonist, and she almost exactly repeats a line from The Empire Strikes Back - "I have altered our pact. Pray I don't alter it any further."Silly as the movie is, at least it doesn't drag with its 95 minute runtime, something several fantasy films in recent years are guilty of.

Well, I thought you'd have to motor in order to come up with anything cheesier than Arnie's 3 sword and sorcery outings (2 Conans and a Red Sonja), but Kevin Sorbo's Kull the Conqueror manages to do so with a minimum of trouble.To be fair, the sets and costumes are OK, and the cast give it their all. But the special effects are a bit naff, and the special effects make-up is super-naff.And the script, plot, and characterisations are not only naff, but also cheesy (and when I say cheesy, I'm talking Gorgonzola).It passes the time if you're not feeling fussy.

I liked this film and it is very funny to see some of our locals to play in an American film. Quite the entire film was done in Slovakia (the sea scenes were done in Croatia), better say it is very funny to see a big flame rising out of Devin castle which is one of our national symbols (actually I am a tourist guide in Bratislava, and sometimes I take tourists in there, it is in suburbs of our city). I remember when the long haired people were taken as background into this film. So our guitar player got a small role in this film. He was telling us funny stories about the filming. Like he was running around with a bird cage full of chickens and he accidentally hit a donkey which started to act like crazy and the people had to calm it down. Or he told like they took a local homeless man to play a role so they didn't need to make makeups then :) . Really crazy stuff. U remember the the red haired twins in the crowd. U can meet them in the streets of Bratislava very often. To the film - it is a B-film but I liked it a lot. Good Howard S&S stuff. Kevin is the real person for this role and suites him well, he is more savage type than Arnold and if U read the Howard's Kull stories U can know that he is savage and strong, which doesn't mean that he has to be Mr. Olympia. Kevin is huge man (around 2m high) and is of good muscles enough for Kull. This is no Conan. Conan was more adventurer than Kull. Kull is more a king than that. Actually there are not many stories about his life before he became a king of Valusia. He is a strong person but not only in physical strength but also in decisions and ruling (By this Axe I rule) and is despising all what is modern and civilized. Kull is a part of every man. He is our savage part, when Conan there can be only one. Thatis why I liked this character so much. The other actors were quite good for a B-film, but were just playing background to Kevin Sorbos character.
