Description

The most legendary Barbarian of all time is back. Having thrived and evolved for eight consecutive decades in the public imagination- in prose and graphics, on the big screen and small, in games and properties of all kinds- Conan's exploits in the Hyborian Age now come alive like never before in a colossal action-adventure film. A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.

    What happened to the movie industry? Hollyweird is done.
  • Nomoa's acting is so bad, this should have been branded as a comedy.

    Excellent filmaking that has brought us a truer version of the print Conan the Barbarian to screen. The Arnold series was good, but far from the spirit of our beloved heroes saga. Very happy they made this and found the perfect actor to play him in Jason Momoa, cant wait for a sequel.

    This film...did not work. First the good. They did some work on the visuals. Jason looked and even acted the part, but he is a body and not a great actor. He did at least as competent a job as Arnold did lo those many decades ago. Some of the secondary chracters were good. But honestly, Rose McGowan phoned it in. The plot was laughable. I rolled my eyes twice at the 4 minute mark. The Pureblood was about as bad an actress as Rose. The Villain chracter tried but I felt no sense of threat. Ron Perlman was wasted. So my suggestion is to rent, not buy this on a day when your plans include popcorn, friends, and lots of vodka on 'rental special' day. I did not waste my money on a rental, but I would have for a ticket.

  • Better than (and different from) the Original

    To begin with, I loved the original. I also recognize that the original is filled with wooden acting, marginal dialogue, and a disjointed plot that is really more a series of set pieces loosely strung together. Nevertheless, it has an undeniable campy charm and great entertainment value. In this remake, the plot is far better fleshed out, the dialogue much better written, and the acting is far better. Add to that much improved action scenes, and you have a winner here. I still love the original, but this is better quality. If you've never seen either, I'd recommend this one first.
  • Yeah!

    I guess I sort of liked this movie. One of the reasons I did was because I think they used a sexy actor in this movie. See, all you need is 1 good chick in a movie to make a terrible one or two star movie great. Take Cassandra, from the Scorpion King. Kelly Hu was hot so I really liked the movie even if it was terrible. Same's for the second movie of The Scorpion King (Scorpion King 2). I thought Astarte was hot, so I liked it even if it was a really weird and terrible movie.
  • Great movie

    Yes, this is a B-movie, but it is very well done. If you like Conan, or like Jason Mamoa, you will probably like this movie. Enjoy! :-)

    This is a good action & adventure movie. There is a good enough script and dialogue to glue it togther so it is believable. The special effects and music do well to support the movie without getting in the way.
