Review of Conan the Barbarian (2011) by Emily A — 23 Nov 2012
I really do like Jason Momoa, but I have trouble pinning down exactly why I didn't like this movie. Maybe I found the plot a little bit too crazy to make sense. It seems like Conan's tribe is a bunch of bloodthirsty destroyers.
Why are we siding with them over the other bloodthirsty destroyers? Because they look less creepy? Flip a coin. It really annoys me in movies when the female characters are not actually characters at all, but more like devices to spur other characters into action by nagging them, requiring a heroic rescue or giving them something to screw.
Tamara was the worst offender. Where are all the female barbarians? Off fighting with the Amazons?
