reb-warrior Well I mean he goes around shirtless the entire time. Maybe that's all TPTB thought he was good for, eye candy.This movie was basically Hercules the Legendary Journeys with the name Kull slapped on it. Yeah, but Herc's alright, right? It was a weekly campy TV show. Kull was a movie that was in the theatres that you shell out money for. It should be a tad bit better quality. More than a tad.Sorbo proves his acting range is limited. He doesn't even try to play a different character than Herc. There are no little nuances and characteristics in manner, facial expressions, and delivery. You ever see him in Andromeda? It's the same there. Basically playing Hercules again with a different name slapped on. Can you ever imagine this guy playing a part in Shakespeare? Even just a tiny role? Nope, I can't either.Karen Lombard and Litefoote were the best actors and seemed to take their roles, and their duty to fulfill a good delivery seriously. Everyone else just seemed like they were there for the paycheck. The plot was meh. I guess it was suppose to be the third part in Arnie's Conan movies. I liked the first one. The second was just OK. Kull lacked the mood, and at least Arnie had presence and a fierce expression despite being a non-actor. It's a B movie. What else is there to say. At least you get see Sorbo shirtless most of time. But seriously, to make a movie for the big screen which cost money for people to see, the logic was let's have Sorbo shirtless and it will be good? He's not that special. Not even close. Word.
punisher5150 Being a huge Robert E Howard fan, Kull the Conqueror isn't quite the literary version of the character, but all in all, it's nice seeing Robert E. Howard getting some screen time! (Conan fans, yes even Arnold's Conan barely resembles the literary version so relax a little). This movie is nowhere near as bad a some make it out to be. Kevin Sorbo, fresh from TVs Hercules fame, does a good job as the title character. The movie plays more like lite fantasy than epic fantasy, but still has some awesome moments. For some reason I love the scene at the end when Kull destroys the stone wall with the old laws written on it with his Axe. I've seen the movie probably a dozen times and it doesn't get old. Karina Lombard is gorgeous as Kull's love interest, and Tia Carrere does a fine job as the villainess. (Ironically, the Conan movie with Jason Mamoa (2011) uses the same villainess and a similar plot of resurrecting her.) Thomas Ian Griffith as Taligaro also does a good job as Kull's warrior nemesis. He should get more roles! Rounding out the cast with Litefoot as a priest of Valka and brother of the love interest, and you have a quest plot that resembles something like Jason and the Argonauts. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the action and the humor of Kull the Conqueror! "By this Axe I rule!"
blackarachnia2 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.
xredgarnetx 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.
