Review of Conan the Barbarian (2011) by Brownjenkin — 08 Oct 2015
I read everything about Conan and everything of R.E.Howard production. So let's start with the good things: Momoa fits the role well phisically. The rudeness and the violence is well portrayed. Also, Ron Perlman is a very good actor. Now let's go to the negative stuff.
The plot is somewhat confused, the casting is really, really bad (so was Ah-node in the Milius movie...), the movie is pretty gore-oriented (violence and blood and gore are ingredients of the novels but not predominant) and stupid . The main ingredient of Howard and Milius was "EPIC", this movie completely lacks of epic moments. So at the end it's not enjoyable and a bit boring.
