If you expect mind-blowing story, look elsewhere. If you look for a great movie, stay, watch and enjoy. This movie is really one of the gems from 80s and anyone wanting to see a movie more focused on the character than on talk, go ahead. But be warned, barbarians aren't that talkative!
And the music is one of the most amazing in movie as well. Arnie, music, the connection with his woman make it really great.
