"Before Gladiator, there was another slave turned gladiator, and his name was Conan. I think if any film demonstrates the pure charismatic power of Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is the one. When in need of a good pick-me-up, this old fashioned revenge story from John Milius is a go-to for me. And though the movie has its flaws, when Basil Pouledaris’ music picks up during the sword-fights that punctuate the story, these prove to be some of the best fight scenes ever captured on the silver screen."

The effects are pretty good for 1999.... though twenty years on they look pretty dated in parts.
Slightly distracting 1999 CGI at times (0 more)
Good pulpy fun
For good, pulpy, over-the-top fun, you can't beat Brendan Fraser's first Mummy film. The graphics are pretty great for being twenty years old, though at times its age becomes apparent. Don't expect too much in the way of horror, as this is solidly PG-13 fare, but if you want a good family thriller, this is the film for you.
