Wonderful character development!

A Disappointing Continuation

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Kull the Conqueror (1997): Dir: John Nicolella / Cast: Kevin Sorbo, Tia Carrere, Litefoot, Thomas Ian Griffith, Roy Brocksmith: Pathetic fantasy about overcoming trials, although viewers may find the trial of sitting through this embarrassing film difficult to overcome. Kull is destined to become King. His enemies raise a demon Queen from her tomb and Kull chooses her as Queen but that night he ends up in chains. He frees himself and sets out seeking destruction of his enemies. While production is fine the story is lame. Director John Nicolella is no road map either. Kull instructs people to serve any God they wish. Kull sounds like the type of warrior who would bow down to a toilet if he had to crap bad enough. Kevin Sorbo must be proud to play a character this dumb. Kull is basically a rags to riches character who falls for his foe like a naïve child coaxed into a stranger's car. Tia Carrere puts in an effort as the demon Queen who proves to be a worthy opponent to our knuckle headed hero. Litefoot was much more interesting in The Indian in the Cupboard but here he is Kull's sidekick and little else. Thomas Ian Griffith is also featured among the cast. Apparently this was suppose to be Conan the Conqueror until Arnold Schwarzenegger read the script and realized that it would conquer his career. Pointless mayhem that showcases senseless violence and a complete lack of intelligence. Score: 2 ½ / 10

I just watched this movie on Movie Time and not even Kevin Sorbo could keep me watching this waste of film. All this movie is is a lot of testosterone mixed with pretty women. Jesus if I wanted to watch a pretty boy killing people off I'd watch The Legend of Hercules not this atrocity. Please ladies if you see this movie in the stores RUN. RUN hard, RUN long, and RUN fast because I wasted about 10 minutes of my otherwise active life watching this movie and I feel like it was a really big waste of 10 minutes of my life and 3.5 hours of their film.It was really stupid and machismo stuff aimed at 15 year old boys and if I had a 15 year old boy I certainly wouldn't let him watch this.

KULL is not to be taken seriously, even though it is derived from a serious book by the author of the Conan stories, Robert Howard. Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo plays Kull, a warrior in search of a kingdom in a time long forgotten, in a breezy, off-handed manner -- and his refusal to take his character too seriously works in favor of this low-budget quickie. The ever-delectable Tia Carrere plays a witch who plans to take over the world, and she is absolutely delicious as a supernatural villainess. The fights are clumsily staged, the sets are from hunger, but the dialog is a lot of fun and everyone would appear to be having a good time. A rainy day pick. It certainly kicks Red Sonja's butt.

The only thing "slick" about this film is the video box cover. The movie is strictly Grade B material, although there are some nice special-effects and color to it. The lead actor is probably what gives this movie such a lower-grade feel to it. Kevin Sorbo, who has not exactly become a household name among movie actors, shows why as he plays "Kull." He doesn't look and he doesn't sound like a man from the medieval ages. Only his acting is medieval!The stupid dialog didn't help him, either. The sorcery with stupid doses of political correctness made the whole thing ludicrous. The leading lady wasn't any better: a broody, unlikeable Karina Lombard. You'd be better off with the horrible Steve Reeves Hercules movies of the 1950s - similar sort of thing.
