okay and i admit i like brigitte neilsen in an unhealthy way and i just have a thing for 6 tall woman with sword . there i say it . what wrong with the movie . just about every mistake you can make be make . you take a successful movie series ( conan ) and you drag it through the mud with a bad script and bad casting and bad effect and and the bad thing of all . you put a cute kid in there for comic relief . this kind of thing almost kill the indiana jones series ya know . cute kid be for disney movie and not real movie . neilsen at least take the movie seriously and even though it seem nobody else do . the plot have schwarzenegger repeatedly pull red sonja fat out of the fire and that undercut her character considerably . a warrior woman doesn not need a dude to get her out of a mess and thats her job . to not re use the conan character in this movie be a crime . kalidor . sheesh . the movie never set the proper mood and it pacing be rather disjoint and sloppy and unlike conan the barbarian which have multiple story line that flow gracefully . when it come to fantasy movie and it okay to have cheesy costume and it okay to have harryhausen style animation and it okay to have silly exorbitant set that make no sense and but to have a horrible script be unforgivable . this movie could have be a classic and but the script felt like it be write by a 12 year old .
