he name Conan comes with a lot of expectations. Many of them created by the movies in the 80s starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as an absurdly muscular barbarian warrior. Compared to the young Schwarzenegger Jason Momoa who has inherited the role is slim, but perhaps is a better actor. But in essence they are both the same. Huge men, with big muscles that wields a big sword. When I think about there isn't much more to it really. That might seem a little meager, but really, who expects anything else from a movie named Conan the Barbarian? We have the muscled hero, a lot, lot, lot of fighting and action and sometimes just a little too much blood and gore. The plot is somewhat of a reboot of the old movie, instead of a continuation. It is a little thin, good enough to base an action movie on, but it does lack a dimension if there is any visions beyond just action movie. What could have helped is better supporting characters with real depth. For instance is the character Ela-Shan very under used and undeveloped. Even rather big characters as Tamara, Marique and Ukafa could really have been much more developed. As it is now it is just about Conan really, and his fight against Khalar Zym. It is just a bit too thin, too simple. Jason Momoa bears the role surprisingly well. Not as muscled as Schwarzenegger, but a little better actor. And Stephen Lang is good as the bad guy, even though he seems a little undeveloped as well. But in the end, Conan is an entertaining movie, and that's what really counts. Never a dull momentRead full review
The makers of this movie took an okay plot and ruined it with a terrible lead character. The guy they cast as Conan wasn't as engaging as the rocks on my driveway. Total waste. Maybe with better casting this would have been a better movie. Really happy I didn't pay full price for this one.

I found the movie Conan to be a great movie, and a different turn from what is in the media today (SUPER HERO'S). Without telling the story line, this movie takes you to a mid evil era of hack and slash, very bloody but tastefully done. I have no dislikes about this movie, I think overall I give it 100% and it's well written. The quality of the Blu Ray is superb as a whole.
