let's all agree that sorbo was the wrong decision for
kull, and the film tried not to take itself too
seriously when it should have, how do u make a moody
and howardian movie if you try to poke fun and dumb it
down all the time? i don't think anyone alive would
be able to portray conan the way it should be made
there are just too many ppl who want to see it made
their way and then just too many that don't have any
idea what they're talking about but just wanted to
make a buck, I don't even know if Sorbo even read kull
or if he just read the script and thought it was some
old piece of crap they were revamping. either way it
ain't kull , the real kull is trapped on the pages of
" by this axe i rule" and the other howard kull yarns.
Mummy Returns was the closest thing to the old pulp
and indiana jones stuff i've actually seen or heard of
