I love this movie so much

You won't be disappointed!

Excellent but underrated film

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie, the Barbarians, is a joy to watch. Just a fun easygoing movie with a great plot, great looking characters, and i just so enjoyed the good humor of the 2 brothers! i am going to purchase this movie. it is in the same type of genre as the Last StarFighter, Willow, etc. - excellent enjoyment, a lot of fun!

First Impressions:After a long day at work I was scrolling through on demand's strange collection of impact movies only to find this little gem. Reading that this film was about twin warriors fighting a David Bowie looking villain, I could hardly resist. Having a twin sister of my own I found that David and Peter Paul worked well together and actually shared some funny moments on screen.The look:The sets where much better looking than I expected (I loved many of the exterior shots, exotic looking locations), acting was good, and many of the characters were certainly enjoyable (The twins were the best, hands down). The good:This film delivers what it promises; to be a Conan-ish 1980s sword and sorcery flick with a little humor, heart, and horses. I like how the actors/actresses play off of each other and getting whisked away into the fantasy flick.The bad:Some of the effects and music where a bit dated; I understand budget restraints and rights could've been a factor BUT according to IMDb it states that it was estimated at around $4,000,000. The gore effects were mostly believable but that dragon was only a head, you couldn't fool me.The ugly:The sorceress was far too flat for my liking. Compared to Lynch, talk about lame villain, nice look going though. I couldn't understand her motivation so much other than jealousy. The women in this flick sadly fell under the damsel in distress route far too often. I can't name one time that they encountered peril and got themselves out. Kara never even used the bow and arrow she eventually acquired, what gives? (I'm no feminist but come on, bring on the hurt!)Overall: I'd love to watch this one again, might even buy it and enjoy it with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. The version I saw was pretty rough though, looked like an old VHS rip. I won't get my hopes up if the double feature set with the Norseman on Amazon looks much better though. Toodles.

I have to agree that this isn't a movie you should watch expecting to see Conan or something. This totally belongs in Mystery Science Theater 3000, and should be forever immortalized as the timeless piece that it is. It has always been one that I've enjoyed and gotten many laughs from. The storyline is ridiculous and the acting is atrocious, but it all lends itself to the humor. I think that at the time the idea that weight lifters could act had some appeal. Look at Arnold, he did well for himself, but I'm not so sure if these two ever returned to the movie business. So take this movie with a grain of salt, and then maybe a shot chased by a lemon wedge, because it is excellent entertainment and very funny if you keep in mind just how silly it is.

Yes, I loved this movie when I was a kid. When I was growing up I saw this movie so many times that my dad had to buy another VHS copy because the old copy had worn out.My family received a VHS copy of this movie when we purchased a new VHS system. At first, my mom wasn't sure that this was an appropriate movie for a 10 year old but because we had just bought a new VHS system she let me watch it.Like I said, this movie is every little boys dream… The movie contains a terrific setting, big muscled barbarians, beautiful topless women, big bad monsters and jokes you'll only get when you get older. So, a couple of days ago I inserted the video and watched the movie again after a long time. At first, I was bored, then started thinking about how much I loved this movie when I was kid, and continued watching. Yeah, the experience wasn't as great as I remembered… The acting is pretty bad, the storyline is pretty bad, the jokes weren't funny anymore, but the women were still pretty. Yes, I've grown up. Even though the movie experience has changed for me, I still think it's worth 7 stars. For the good old times you know
