I tried watching this on DVD last night. I think I finally gave up about 45 minutes in. It's so so horrible. Even with my extremely low expectations, I couldn't finish the thing. Just an absolute train wreck of a movie. Everything that the filmmakers could have done wrong, they did wrong. And then they went looking for other things to do wrong.
Too bad, because I could tell a fair amount of money went into making it. What a waste.
Ok, when I heard they were remaking this movie on the radio this morning I almost wanted to cry...
Some movies you just don't remake...and this is one of them, and if you do you definitly do '3-D' it...no...just stop...
Why?....why?, I mean of all the older fantacy fiction movies they could of pulled out the closet to remake, why did they choose this one?...
Certain character actors just can't be replicated...John Wayne, Clint East Wood, Bruce Lee, And Arnold Schwartsinegger....
It can't be done...Exspecially with today inferior directing and acting pool and script writing...
They are taking a classic childhood iconic favorite of many, and turning it into a 15 minute of fame remake, just to sell it on some coffee mugs and happy meals and cereal boxes...and Conan apps...
Arnolds portrayal of Conan felt authintic do to his real Austrian accent...Arnolds heritage really fit the bill...and that cold barbaric glare he use to have...
this new Actor, looks more like Brandon Lee...and is not as muscular as the original character...(sorry but tall men who arent fully muscular, look more like their half starving)...
And I heard a preview on the radio this morning...the accents are totally fake...instead of 'being Conan', you can tell he's trying to 'be Conan'...
Oh well, maybe a 4 year old might be impressed...
They're going to mess this one up like they did when they remade 'Clash of the Titans.'...
However...I could be wrong since I haven't seen it...
So I could be over reacting...
It's just some things are so embedded in your memory of years ago, that when they mess with it, and reconstruct it, it can be bothersome...
If anyone sees the movie, please do give a review...thanks...
Next their going to re do the Terminator...it's only a matter of time...
I found this movie (the remake) in the bargain bin the other day and oh was it god-awful! It didn't even follow the book at all... at least Arnold's version make an effort to do that. It was a movie on par with "The Scorpion King"... which means it was complete and total garbage.

I actually kind of liked The Scorpion King. It never made any pretension to be anything other than campy.
The new Conan was trying desperately hard to be serious but came across campy.
