What the fuck are you talking about? Conan wasn't panned by the critics, it was dismissed as action film trash, albeit entertaining action film trash, which is exactly what it is and no critics have revised their opinions on it because they haven't changed.

Actual examples would be something like The Thing or Starship Troopers, which really were extremely poorly received at the times of their release but many critics have revised their opinions and admitted they got it wrong and the movies are a lot better than they gave them credit for.

Too deep for you, anon?

Not arthouse enough for him, anon.

A movie doesn't have to be arthouse to be good. Conan looks dumb on the surface but it also has some deeper themes to it. It's ironic how he talks about Starship Troopers when it's also similar to that regard.

It's a mediocre action movie. Get over it.

from a literal perspective severance blade of darkness if you play as the barbarian

I know that, and you know that, but arthouse faggots do not know that.

I remember playing a Conan videogame of some sort. It had a sword you had to find parts for and assemble.

I'm a huge fan of the whole series. I even enjoy the pen and paper game and the books.

It isn't deep in the slightest. None of it is. It's generic action fantasy, albeit good generic action fantasy.

It's Pulp.
Genre-defining Pulp, at that.

The film must be pretty deep because even to this day people don't understand what the riddle of steel is.

This anon gets it.
Also James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom was pretty epic.
The scenery was great and especially the soundtrack is one of the best ones ever made.
Basil Poledouris was such an underrated genius.

While I played it on launch and enjoyed, Fallout: New Vegas fits the bill here. I know a lot people who didn't try it until the GOTY edition was 5 bucks on Steam.
