Jason Momoa is a worthy successor to Arnold the Barbarian. The weakness was in the story and the failure to remain faithful to Howard's vision. This movie failed to explain how the Warrior Conan became so exceptional; no formal training, no battles in the ring, no training in the philosophies...just blind vengeance and that just doesn't account for living his life as long as it did. Rose McGowan was just a freak-show distraction. Tamara was a poor replacement for Valeria. No wizard (Mako) and no Subotai (Gerry Lopez). Parts of the movie were "borrowed" from The Mummy (1999). Not worthy to be included in the cannon of Conan.
