>fantasy films can't be kin-
A nice poster does not a good film make. Compared to many other 80s films Black Angel has aged like milk.

For the source material I thought this was fucking great, perfect tone and style, and was genuinely disappointed it didn't do better domestically. Even more so is the director and some of the cast were Warcraft nerds, or just having fun and were onboard.

Doesn't have deep symbolism or meaning, but it's well done.

>I liked a lot of it myself, and with me, a few broadswords and leather jerkins go a long way.
>"Conan" is a perfect fantasy for the alienated preadolescent
>Valeria is everything you could ever hope for in a woman, if you are a muscle-bound preadolescent, of course. She is lanky and muscular and a great sport, and she can ride, throw, stab, fence, and climb ropes as good as a boy.
>But when Conan and Doom meet at the top of the Mountain of Power, it was, for me, a rather unsettling image to see this Nordic superman confronting a black, and when Doom's head was sliced off and contemptuously thrown down the flight of stairs by the muscular blond Conan, I found myself thinking that Leni Reifenstahl could have directed the scene, and that Goebbels might have applauded it.
>Am I being too sensitive? Perhaps. But when Conan appeared in the pulps of the 1930s, the character suggested in certain unstated ways the same sort of Nordic super-race myths that were being peddled in Germany. These days we are more innocent again, and Conan is seen as a pure fantasy, like his British cousin, Tarzan, or his contemporary, Flash Gordon. My only reflection is that, at a time when there are no roles for blacks in Hollywood if they are not named Richard Pryor, it is a little unsettling to see a great black actor assigned to a role in which he is beheaded by a proto-Nordic avenger.
Roger Ebert seems to misunderstand or completely miss basic setting or something, or only review at a surface-level. He had a weird taste.
He seemed like an opposite to Armond White.
