Brigitte Nielsen, as Conan creator Robert E. Howard's female warrior Red Sonja, gets an assist from Arnold Schwarzenegger in this enjoyably campy, Italian-lensed sword & sorcery adventure. Nielsen's thespian skills may be a bit stiff, but she certainly fills out the physical demands of the role, which asks her to look impressive with a sword as she avenges the death of her priestess sister and the theft of a sacred orb by an evil queen (Sandahl Bergman, also from the '82 theatrical Conan and a match for Nielsen's acting ability). Schwarzenegger (not playing Howard's barbarian king) lends some star power in a supporting role as a warrior assisting Sonja, and if the film stumbles in the acting, scripting, and special-effects departments, Richard Fleischer's direction and cinematography Giuseppe Rotunno are appropriately action-heavy and comic-book colorful (Fleischer also directed Conan the Destroyer and The Vikings); Ennio Morricone's bombastic score is another plus. --Paul Gaita

 Where art thou Red Sonja? December 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sadly, Red Sonja is the poster child for everything that is wrong with Hollywood attempts to create films based off of fantasy themes. Even with 80's action-star Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brigitte Nielsen, and Sandahl Bergman to front this movie, Red Sonja is a haphazard and mostly uninspired affair.
To me, the best thing about this film is the score by Ennio Morricone. The worst thing about this film is that it goes on and on and on and doesn't seem to want to end.
The acting, of course, is terrible. Let's not even talk about the screenplay! But even with all this baggage, I do find the film watchable and even likeable at times for its over-the-top 80's cheesiness.
Now that it's official that Hollywood is remaking Red Sonja, it's worth it to watch this film again just to remind ourselves that when a great fantasy film like The Lord of the Rings is bestowed upoon us, we should cherish every minute of it because good fantasy films, let alone of the calibur of "Rings", are very rarely ever made.

 Great! September 24, 2008
This is a movie I grew up watching, so being able to find it on DVD, and for such a low price,was fantastic. Maybe not a great movie per se, but it appealed to my nostalgia. Fast shipping and great service, as always.
That other Conan film ... what's it called? September 15, 2008
This half-forgotten film is in the classic style of Schwarzenegger's Conan films but not titled as such and with a consequent loss of market. That is a pity because it is almost the equal of the others. Also, the heroine is a red-head, which helps spice up the red-ragging rage-queen vs muscle boy image.
 Before Sly Stallone ... August 26, 2008
A minor character in a Robert E. Howard historical story, Marvel turned it into a monthly character in the same world as Conan. Dino ("My Konk is big!") De Laurentis brought it to the big screen with director Richard Fleischer, fresh off his failed CONAN THE DESTROYER. If anything, this bugger is even worse. Now I know that is saying alot. Arnold is in it as a character who is really SUPPOSED to be Conan and Brigitte Nielson in the title role. Sandahl Bergman (Valeria in CTB) is an evil queen in pursuit of a deadly orb of power and wiping out anyone in her path.
