When a powerful force of supernatural evil threatens to destroy Hyboria, legendary Cimmerian warrior Conan (Jason Momoa) raises his sword against mythical monsters and treacherous enemies. Ron Perlman, Rose McGowan, Stephen Lang, and Rachel Nichols co-star in a sweeping fantasy adventure based on the character created by Robert E. Howard, and directed by Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
If you've seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you'll understand the blood-letting in this film. Ron Pearlman is about the only actor that did his job. Momoa was fair. Rachel Nichols did a good job as well as Rose McGowan - she's rather spooky. All in all, 1.5 stars and that only for the action. The story line was weak and very predictable.
This movie sucked. Hollywood felt that old fashioned sword fights were not good enough. Everything had to be acrobatic or humanly impossible. Even the sword used by the main bad guy is Hollywood BS. Something you would expect in a Transformers movie. The schwarzenegger version was much better. I had high hopes for this movie but I saw it in the theater and felt ripped off.
If you hadn't seen the original , you may like this movie. I found it severly lacking.
Jason Momoa was too "pretty" to play the part of Conan and his acting was just so-so. Over all I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this one, it was a big let down!
I really had a lot of fun with this movie. They definitely put a nice contemporary spin to it with good solid action sequences and special effects compared to the classic Schwarzenegger Conan films. Moreover. the story line and acting were pretty good making it easy for most to get pulled in to the movie.
Not a bad movie for a night at home, while eating popcorns. Has a B movie feel to it. But, we are so picky; at least I am so spoiled by the super A big budget American movies.
This was so much better than I thought it would be. I think this is partly because I was told how terrible this movie was. It was actually very good for an action/combat film.
The fight scenes were unique.
The romantic interest was completely believable. You don't believe they're soul mates. They're just two adults attracted to each other. It was cute.
The story was better than Transformers. It was meatier.
If you like this type of genre then it's totally worth watching. If you don't like this genre then just skip it. This film isn't going to convert you.
