We both enjoyed the Conan movie with Ahnold, and looked with great hope toward Red Sonja. Brigitte so looked the part in photos we had seen. So we were horrified when we went to the theater on opening night to watch the movie. Which raises a question - can producers and directors really not tell when something is truly awful? I can understand their inability to tell when a movie will or not make money, but surely they are artistic enough to know when a film is truly bad!
