5/10
Epic Fail!
21 August 2011
A lot of this movie is mailed in on all fronts, but he production/ writing and or directing end of it kills it at times. At times Jason Momoa is absolutely 100% Conan more so than Arnold, but then they give him scenes where he comes off as a juiced up Vincent Chase (Entourage) lost in time. I enjoyed it, but I've invested too much time with Conan in my life to give this a seal of approval. I would like to see the series continued with Momoa, but with a different director and storyline drawn from either REH's work or at least from the Savage Sword. There are great scenes amid some other ones. The opening was a major letdown, and I couldn't wait for Conan to grow up. Once he did, some fight scenes were fantastic, especially with the sand people. Still worth checking out, especially if you're going in with low expectations.
