| Box Office Todd Gilchrist Comprised only of massive, bloody set pieces, Conan the Barbarian is proof that action fans should be careful what they wish for. | 5 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Conan the Barbarian involves a clash of civilizations whose vocabularies are limited to screams, oaths, grunts, howls, ejaculations, exclamations, vulgarities, screeches, wails, bellows, yelps and woofs. I'd love to get my hands on the paycheck for subtitling this movie. | 8 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli The 2011 version of Conan the Barbarian looks cheap and feels rushed. The few good elements are dwarfed by a generic, nonsensical plot and shoddy storytelling. | 8 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Most of the flick feels like watching someone play a video game where a warrior (and others) go along and dispatch the bad guys with swords and other medieval style weapons. | 4 | |
