The tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria. After his father is murdered and village destroyed, Conan (Jason Momoa, Game of Thrones) ventures into the world and survives as a thief, pirate, and warrior. On his path of wanton adventure and women, Conan eventually faces the warlord responsible for his tribe’s destruction.
This is a new adaptation of Robert E. Howard's mythology - not a follow-on from the Arnie-starring films that came out in the 1980s. This project has been ruminating for years with various filmmakers attached to the project, including Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand), the Wachowski brothers (Matrix) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City). Eventually Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder) took the job, shooting the film in Bulgaria.
Travesty comparing this to the Arnie original. Some good fight scenes. mostly long and dull
if you dont think about it too hard its a good conan movie better than telly
Feels like a half-hearted revamp of virtually any of the Conan rip-offs that clogged up video-store shelves in the ’80s.
A brutal, crude, witless high-tech CGI contrivance, in which no artificial technique has been overlooked, including 3-D.
It may be ridiculous as all get-out, but the fact that the exaggeration is so irony free is charming in its own way.
Theoretically exciting, it’s somehow very dull.
Simultaneously lavishly violent and numbing, visually ornate and undistinguished, epic and shallow, relentlessly noisy and tone-deaf, workmanlike and unfilling.
