The Barbarians

“Warriors. Conquerors. Heroes.”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Two enormous brothers become sword-and-sorcery heroes in a world that mainly needs them to flex, fight and misunderstand things. The deliberately goofy tone and enthusiastic physical comedy make this a fantasy adventure with very little use for either shirts or subtlety.
