Terrible sequels

IMO Conan the Destroyer is a terrible film on every level, and I don't know how anyone could put it ahead of Honour Among Thieves as a D&D movie. The first Conan film is mediocre with some memorable moments, but Destroyer is Corman tier.
Oh, man. The first Conan movie was great. Maybe not if you were a huge Conan fan already, but it's a good movie with a great soundtrack. Certainly one of the best sword & sorcery movies from the 1980s. Now that I've typed that out I might be damning the movie with faint praise. The second movie isn't all that good despite the decent cast. It really hurt them going to PG I think.

It does, but so does Hawk the Slayer. And as much as I enjoy its cheese, neither is the best D&D movie anymore. D&D: Honor Among Thieves really does surpass both in general cinematic quality (and in D&Dness).
I still haven't seen it so I can't really weigh in there
