Review of Conan the Barbarian (2011) by Matthew L — 04 May 2012

While I can give a bit of credit to the styling of the story, the overall film is just poorly done. There was an opportunity to remake this film in such a way that the story and characters were done justice by the filmmaking.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen. The effects were awful, the battle scenes were not particularly well done, and all of the primary actors have been far better in other work they've done. A hardcore fan might get some joy from this film, but everyone else need not bother.
