sirjrcalvin The Good: Casting. All around, Momoa really nailed the role of Conan. He's strong, abrasive, bloodthirsty, and bears conviction. The cast as a whole really gave the film the highest rating I could give it.Also Good: Hyboria. The Picts looks quite terrifying early in the film, even if they fall like straw men. The film did a nice job exploring a few other areas of Hyboria that the 80's films never did. All in all, those who read the old books will find a lot of Easter eggs to enjoy here.The Bad: The final act of the movie was just as boring as could be. Why do we care what the villain does with this really weird-looking octopus mask? The final battle sequence was a critical failure that ended the film with a whimper instead of a "Wow!"Also Bad: Action sequences. There are many throughout the film and for each that will sincerely impress you, there are equally as many that are simply laughable. The Ugly: The director, Marcus Nispel, may have given some fresh life to Hyboria, but at the cost of a coherent story and developed characters. You will reach the end of the movie knowing just as much about the characters as when you first started watching it. There's no depth to the characters (hero and villain alike). Character development is forgotten entirely. The stakes of the story are lost in a hodgepodge of randomly strung-together action sequences.Overall, there's enough to like about the movie to make it watchable, but not enough to really wow an audience looking for so much more out of this rich universe.

d-kampen Conan the Barbarian is a really basic action/fantasy movie, and with really basic I mean really basic.The movie begins with short introduction to the world (voiced by the great Morgan Freeman)and after that an introduction to the main character Conan, the story really begins when a bad guy kills Conan's family in search for a magic artifact which will give him great power, Conan survives and goes on a revenge quest. The bad guy gives Conan some time to grow up and then finds the last thing he needs for his ritual, a woman with some special old blood. Conan and this girl meet each other and of course the fall in love. But happiness doesn't last long and the girl get's captured by the bad guy so Conan needs to go and rescue her. He of course succeeds to rescue here kill the bad guy and escape. And that's it.The movie itself was structured like a simple video-game, intro-walking-boss level-walking-boss level-etc-etc-final boss level(the last two boss levels even took place in a video-game like environment).But unlike the protagonist in a video-game Conan is invincible, there were dozens of times where he could've been easily killed but for some reason he just didn't The characters all came straight from the cookie-cutter, none off them had any depth and there wasn't any character development either. So because of this the characters were boring and this made the movie boring.Another minor thing that let this movie down where it's special effects they looked bad, especially in some of the fight-scenes.So overall this was a bad movie about a guy who liked swinging his sword, with bad structuring, boring characters and a way to basic plot. I would give this movie a 4,3/10

Kirpianuscus he is the only realistic motif to see this bizarre film. but a flower does not a season. the good intentions of an actor, the hope to resurrect a brand, the darkness in new nuances are not the good choice. first - the theme is part from another cinema age. then , Jason Momoa does his the best.the presence of Stephen Lang and Ron Pearlman is symbolic. maybe, to act in a film who could be reduced at few fight scene, eccentric costumes and a lot of clichés is not a good option. except colors and remind of old fairy tales theme, Conan has nothing interesting.because the script is a joke and the respect for poor Momoa is high scene by scene because except his physical virtues, far being by a new version of Schwarzenegger, he tries to do a decent work. but nothing helps him. so, a film for a too precise target . for the others, convincing invitation to return to the original Conan.

adonis98-743-186503 Conan The Barbarian in 3D is one of those films that you wish you could just forget that it ever happened but it happened. Jason Momoa plays Conan (kinda) and Stephen Lang is the bad guy of the story but you know the story already if you have seen the Original 1982 Classic or read the comics or even if you have played the games if you think Conan the Destroyer and Red Sonja were bad then think again because this film is awful in every step of the way. Acting, story, cgi everything is bad the movie completely lost me when they made Conan's father look like an ape and him spitting the beer in someone's else face so he can win the arm wrestle fight. It's time for Hollywood to stop remaking Schwarzenegger's Movies or even making sequels that nobody asked for.
