Usually remakes"suck",this one is,well,so,so.I wanted to see it because I be loving me some Jason Momoa,who plays Conan in this version.While he was GREAT in "Stargate Atlantis"and "Game of Thrones",both TV series and both reviewed on this blog,sadly he can't make you forget Arnold who first played Conan.Its also unfair to compare the two film versions as the first with Arnold was really over the top and therefore really good fun.This film is much more serious and well,that doesn't work as well.Stephen Lang who plays Khalar Zym,the baddie who kills Conan's father,is no James Earl Jones ether.Perhalps it would have been better to name the film something else??However,even so,the story is too similar to confuse with something else even through there are some major changes,still its a story of a youth who seeks vengeance over the years and finds it.
So see this version which was released in 2011 and runs 113 minutes only if you like the cast,as I do,and you enjoy the genre.However there is no comparing the two films,Arnold wins hands down,thus 1 and 1/2 stars off.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
The tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.
