Critics Consensus

Conan the Destroyer softens the edges that gave its predecessor gravitas, resulting in a campy sequel without the comparative thrills.

Special effects/costume choices are a little difficult to view at times. Dialogue and accent becomes a problem at times. Conan and two only, characters ensure is ok to watch.

Between the time when the Oceans drank Atlantis and the Rise of the sons of Aryus there was an age undreamed of!!!!! Robert E Howard along with JAck Vance, AE vna vogt, and Michael Moorcock are the best 4 authros ever. This is more zombie movie fun than the first Coan Movie which might be the best movie ever made except for star wars. This is sowrd and sorcery at its best!!! MEGA entertainment!! Do not expect oscar winnign speeches ok? Monsters and swordplay and eve kick ass amazons yes!

This Conan sequel wasn't very good. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wilt Chamberlain, Oilivia D'Abo, Sarah Douglas, Grace Jones, Mako, Tracey Walter, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot of the movie was peculiar and ridiculous. It's about going on a mission to get you want only to discover it was all a lie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it.

Minha opinião: O 2º e ultimo filme de #Conan com Schwazenegger, depois deste faz uma participação em Red Sonja (Brigitte Nielsen). A estoria de Conan nos quadrinhos são sempre de um Barbaro ao estilo Ridick que enfrenta várias feras e bruxos e exércitos e vence. Conteúdo dos mais ricos e com o ator certo, porem este Conan Destruidor deixa muito a desejar em sua estoria, roteiro e enredo.Parece que foi feito nas coxas. Uma estoria fraca, com inimigos fracos que lembra o Minotauro da série do "Sitio do Pica-Pau Amarelo" com inimigos de categoria "D". A estoria é de uma bruxa que quer ressucitar um demônio,mas para isso precisa de um chifre que esta em um castelo de gelo encantado e de uma princesa virgem. E para essa missão contratam Conan, não sei porque se eles tem capagas que podem exevcutar a missão. Mas deixa para lá. Então Conan aceita a missão com a promessa de que a bruxa ressuscitaria se amor. Assim segue a estoria e Conan forma sua equipe com Mayo e também Zulu. Com um enredo fraco e monstros que até em Ultraman são melhores. No final Conan descobre a real intensão que é matar a princesa e mata-lo. Até que vem a última batalha contra a fera demônio da até vontade de rir. Vale apena assistir? Se você é fã de Conan e de Arnold e quer ver os filmes de inicio de sua carreira. Nota: 3

Richard Fleischer's directing is as limp as the film's relentless attempts at comedy.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The first Conan movie, Conan the Barbarian, was a dark and gloomy fantasy about the shadows of prehistory. This second film is sillier, funnier, and more entertaining.

Rated: 3/4

Common Sense Media

Conan the Destroyer has all the hallmarks of a bad '80s fantasy movie -- cheesy special effects, unintentionally funny dialogue, and sets that look like they were left over from bad heavy metal music videos.

Rated: 2/5

Gone With The Twins

The special effects haven't improved and the sincerity of the adventures have swung too far in the opposite direction, resulting in a sequel that is just as flawed.

Rated: 5/10

Creative Loafing

This sequel was roundly trashed, but it's no worse than its predecessor, since its campy components at least take the edge off the tedious proceedings.
