- In the beginning, the hero gets into trouble with a new assistant. Who the hell is that? Well, yes, Conan found satellites in the first movie because they grew like mushrooms on the road, but I don’t like that the steppe Subatai was thrown off the scene and replaced by no one knows who.
- By the way, the new assistant Malek, seeing the camel, mentions him as if he participated in a scene with him in the first film. But Subathai was there, not him.
Conan wants to resurrect Valeria, and that's understandable. But does he not want to resurrect his parents?
- Need a magician? There he is, in the sidequest right on the road. Just a minute and he's on the team.
- Then Grace Jones gets picked up as well. In both films it has never been done differently.
- Why did the Queen's soldiers attack the woods? The hero’s mission was not yet fulfilled, and the chances were few. What do you want?
- The plot is too smooth, they tried to insert many battles and two climaxes into it, but everything is perceived somehow on one note. I didn't feel the stakes going up and the tension going up.
- Malek is offered the position of court jester as a reward for his exploits. And he agrees. That's the award you got. Without him, the new queen would probably be dead.
- Why did Conan turn down the award? I will find my kingdom and my queen. Maine, that's exactly what you were offered. How is finding another kingdom different from finding one? ?
But there are pros. Grace Jones is likely to have a tolerable quota (it started then), but she looks good in her wild role and complements the film. I seriously believe that in a world where one colorful, pumped-up, barbarian traveling hero is possible, there could be a second and a third. Why not? In addition, in the first film, there was a frankly weak battle scene of several heroes against the army using the most dubious traps, it was not drawn at all, and in this all the battles are medium, acceptable.
The second film is not much worse than the first. Yes, in the second part there are no bed scenes and no such intense suffering, and instead of the juicy long plans of nature, there is more action in the style of fantasy category B, but in general it is quite a normal continuation. You can't say it's embarrassing the original. A good movie for your niche and your time. It’s just that instead of an adult film, it turned out to be a teenager, but he didn’t deserve such a failure.
