Arnold forever when it comes to Conan. That being said it wasn't completely awful. It was ok. I lvoed how he was born. That was an excellent addition. NO ONE's voice could beat James Earl Jones for narration and for that of my villain. Mr. Freeman did try though but I did not feel the story in my heart when I heard the words. Transition from a boy to a man ...here the original is exponentially better. There was a lot of fighting and it was cool. There was a lot of talking that was in my opinion a little too much. Conan's characater in this one seemed a bit underdeveloped some how. You don't get the sense that he was learned all that he needed to to be the man that avenge his father. His father appeared to be mentally and physically strong. Conan seems like he is physically strong but still a little boy mentally. I lacked the presence that would convince me of it. I loved this actor as Draka in "Game of Thrones" though. The romance was a little too mushy for me. I perfer Conan to be strong, smart and a masked sensitivity; who loves HARD. If I had I never seen the first one this would have been great. Soceress daughter was cool. Action was cool. Zim was disappointing. He did not at all seem anywhere near super human even with his mask. All in all it was good for a one time watch.

It’s a shame this version has none of the charm or wit of the Arnie original.
I blame Khal Momoa - he hasn’t the charisma at this point in his career to be other than a one-dimensional muscle-freak.
And even Arnie managed to raise a laugh - Jason didn’t even punch a camel!
Spudgun from Bottom gets his nose chopped off by a child and then is torn limb from limb by an angry mob!
(So pretty much what he was used to with Ritchie & Eddie then?)
Conan clotheslined a mounted man... with a battleship chain! :open_mouth:
I fully expected the coach to explode during the horsey chasing sequence. Very exciting - but quite ludicrous.
In an age before Oil of Ulay and Botox, the skin of the (many) stunning women looks incredible - must be those ancient heathen gods they worship and no artificial sweeteners.
Nathan Jones was a crap pro wrestler, a crapper MMA fighter, but at least an adequate monster-goon in fight scenes. Ditto Bob Sapp.
Queen Amidala really needs to lay off the hard drugs and emo music. But she is hot, in a worrying, Freddie-Krueger-style way... :rolling_eyes:
