I'd give this movie lots'o stars. I like it. It's not long and boring like the first. There's some good swordfights. There's some magic. There's Arnold. BUT! There is also some major butchering of the gore scenes. I cringed when I watched my dvd, as I realised there were at least 3-4 scenes that had been cut. Because of this I'm takin' a bunch of stars back. One star for Arnold, and one for the swords/whole conan-setting.
Don't buy until there's an uncut version.

Connan the Destroyer was an ok movie but it lacked the power that the first movie had. It doesn't even live up to the name Connan. I am a fan (the only reason for the three stars)of Connan and have this film but I very seldom watch it. If you want a great film purchase the first Connan or if you're a fan of Connan purchase this one. I warn you, however, be prepared for a major let down.
In this film Connan makes some new friends and a ton of enemies. In this films adventure, Connan saves the life of a beautiful girl, Destroys towing emenies, and is offered a throne but doesn't take it. He is Connan and He is destined to be a King by his own hand. It has a good story line but could have all in all been a better film

The Hyborian Age, when shinning kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars and powerful sorcerors cast mighty spells, and a man lived by his sword. And on to this, Conan, destined to bare the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow, and who had recently made motion picture history with his previous success "Conan the Destroyer", was hired by director Richard Fleischer, and cast along with Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, and Mako. Hence this rousing fantasy-adventure, with wizards, princesses, and warriors a plenty! Yes, that's right, folks, that sword-wielding, Crom-worshipping Cimmerian is back, and this time, he's on a quest to help a princess retrieve a magical horn (don't worry, it's better than it sounds). Although this is definitely not as good as it's successer, this is still one good movie that will keep you entertained. It does get corny at times, and the acting does get a bit sloppy. But I still stick to my review. Basil Pouledouris does it again, with another great musical score. They should make another sequal, that shows how Conan becomes king of Aquilonia. But that is another story!

Think of the worst, most contrived, corniest, silliest, lamest movie you've ever seen....multiply that by ten, and then present it as a sequel to a great fantasy epic...and you have Conan the Destroyer.
I mean, this is the worst of the worst. The "comic" elements in this film make you wince, the plot is simplistic and boring, the performances may as well have been acted by over-eager 12 year-olds, and the characters...don't even get me started on them. Okay, do get me started on them.
They're ridiculous, and "camp" is almost too dignified a word for them. Aside from Conan (who I may like ONLY because of the first movie) there is not a single character in this movie that you will care about, period. The group assembled here is pure garbage. And the actors who play them? Likewise. Wilt Chamberlain? WILT CHAMBERLAIN? Also, you'll hope you NEVER EVER EVER hear the name "Tracey Walters" after this movie is over. He plays Malik, the worst sidekick in movie history.
The only reason you should even contemplate renting, buying, or watching this tripe is if you have a macabre sense of fatality and want to set yourself up for a severe disappointment...or if you are a hopeless completist, like me. A classic like Conan the Barbarian either deserved a better sequel, or no sequel at all. This broke my heart when I saw it.
Thumbs down...way, way down.
