CriticsCritics: 56
AudienceAudience: 7.0

After his village is destroyed and he is enslaved, a young barbarian grows into a formidable fighter. Freed and driven by vengeance, he joins two thieves and takes on a dangerous mission involving a powerful cult leader and a king’s daughter.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you want brooding, violent sword-and-sorcery with striking settings, a commanding hero, and an unforgettable score; Not for you if you prefer subtle dialogue, deep character development, or polished modern effects.
