Kull the Conqueror (1997): Dir: John Nicolella / Cast: Kevin Sorbo, Tia Carrere, Litefoot, Thomas Ian Griffith, Roy Brocksmith: Pathetic fantasy about overcoming trials, although viewers may find the trial of sitting through this embarrassing film difficult to overcome. Kull is destined to become King. His enemies raise a demon Queen from her tomb and Kull chooses her as Queen but that night he ends up in chains. He frees himself and sets out seeking destruction of his enemies. While production is fine the story is lame. Director John Nicolella is no road map either. Kull instructs people to serve any God they wish. Kull sounds like the type of warrior who would bow down to a toilet if he had to crap bad enough. Kevin Sorbo must be proud to play a character this dumb. Kull is basically a rags to riches character who falls for his foe like a naïve child coaxed into a stranger's car. Tia Carrere puts in an effort as the demon Queen who proves to be a worthy opponent to our knuckle headed hero. Litefoot was much more interesting in The Indian in the Cupboard but here he is Kull's sidekick and little else. Thomas Ian Griffith is also featured among the cast. Apparently this was suppose to be Conan the Conqueror until Arnold Schwarzenegger read the script and realized that it would conquer his career. Pointless mayhem that showcases senseless violence and a complete lack of intelligence. Score: 2 ½ / 10
