This is Saturday afternoon fodder, and it is great fun. Brigitte Nielsen plays Red Sonja a little as though she is reading her lines off hidden cue cards, in fact the entire cast appears to have received the script on the day they began shooting, but this is still great comic book stuff all the same. It lacks the fancy CGI that we have come to expect, and is, in my opinion, actually the better for this lack. The set pieces all work well, and even the very tentative love story is not a major distraction. Settle back to enjoy skimpy skirts and lots of sword play, years before Xena the Warrior Princess hit the small screen.

This movie gets better with age. If you've got a sense of humor and don't need Industrial Light and Magic special effects, the combination of actors (all playing off the winsome Brigette Nielson) makes this a fun movie to see again...or for the first time.It's probably also the movie that got Arnold in hot water during the "recall."

This is one of the great movies of the 80s in MY collection that I think about all the time.This is such a great sword fighting moving that is really magical. Arnold is very good as always and Brigitte Nielsen is something else! She is perfect for the part and she is so neat. Pat Roach aslo has a good part and he does it well. Sandahl Bergman is beautiful! Wow is she pretty! Anyway all Conan, sword fighting, and Arnold fans with love this for its nonstop action, its scenery, its terrific and magnificent score, and it great scenes with Arnold and Sonja herself!
