I think people who are filming this kind of movies simply envy Arnold as they want to be on the sun as well, to get tanned, to play with swords as well as to communicate with girls (especially if they are half naked), this is exactly the reason why they film something like this. Conan is just like a person who just got out of some gym commercial advertisements. The entire impression about the movie is indefinite; there are a lot of battle scenes, romantic landscapes, curvaceous women and of course yelling. I got the feeling that authors of the movie with the help of this movie tries to show characters from children cartoons about superheroes. The only person I remember is Rose McGowan who played the role of worst villain’s daughter, and probably also Ron Perlman who also played a positive character. My opinion, that this movie is a typical attempt to earn as much money as possible on the popularity of the classic movie in the action fantasy genre.

The first logical question that comes to my mind is what that is?! The old movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger is hundreds of times better than the new one, though now everything is better, the equipment as well as people are graduating various institutions in order to be able to do this or that, and it was easy to see the mistakes of the past years in order not to do them again, and with all those listed about points I see a total disaster in this movie, I expected so much from it, the only thing I saw was not professional performance, Conan who was supposed to look as the highest definition of man looked more like an animal who firstly saw the camera and was barking at it. I didn’t like the movie at all, and felt sorry for having neither time nor money otherwise I would film it by myself in order to show to the movie producer how it is done. To people who want to see it, I would rather recommend the good old movie with Arnold.

Well I can say that a week before the release of the “Conan the Barbarian” we gathered as a big grou of friends, for some reason we all were dying to see the new movie, so we went to the cinema, and right from the first few minutes of the movie, I was amazed, there was a war, and everyone was killing each other, after that I saw quite a standard plot which was based on the feeling of anger and revenge of the Conan-child on whose eyes his father has been killed, and after that his journey, as well as fights has begun. Honestly speaking from time to time I was even so bored to look at it, and then, awe wow! Miracle, he has saved his “love” in order to leave her, this was the thing I didn’t understand at all, and like why did he leave her? I cannot say that I got any bright emotions after seeing the movie as I expected much more of it, but for seeing one time and after forget about it, it is not a bad option, but better seeing it at home, as I wasted money for nothing at cinema.

Jason Mamoa proved he can be a really good Conan the Barbarian. He brought some new flare to the character, but I like Arnie as Conan more, I need to confess. The new Conan has tuned too fluffy to my mind. The actor has the entire premise to become a real dark character, but he looks fairly light one. The mild nudity made the film look more f TV movie rather than one that should be shown in theaters. The film has a weak twist on the original movie story-line, still nothing special in any shape or form. The plot was lacking and formula and was rather an insult to all the formula plots. Certain special effects were too obvious and even comic-bookish at some parts. Too many special effects at the end of the movie made me recollect of the days where mechanical effects were used mostly. GGI has really destroyed the film!
