I can't help but picture Conan Obrian as Conan.
Wishing you well.

You guys know that there was a character named Conan written by Robert E Howard decades before Arnie was born, right?? So its not a remake and it has nothing to do with earlier movies

Trailer looks pretty good in a "senseless violence popcorn movie" kind of way

Hey give the actor a break. He did play as Ronan Dex, who was a total badass in SG: Atlantis. He might be able to pull it off. I do agree that no one will ever be Conan like Auh-nuld though, hell that fucker IS Conan. Bridgette Neilson can't be replaced as Red Sonja either.. However, I like that they are remaking them just for the fact that even if it is terrible it will still be better than 90% of the other crap that is coming out now. It also exposes a whole new generation to a great franchise. Who knows maybe people will watch the old ones after watching the new one? Maybe they will make these into a continuous story as well? I always wanted another movie after Destroyer...
We march to victory!

other than that, first movie is completely fucking awesome. i watch it at least once a year. of course the acting is quite bad but that's not really the point. the conan universe IS the most bad ass fantasy stuff ever made and that film actually captures that well, even with bad actors.

They should instead make a "Conan's grandchildren" movie where Arnie can be an old Conan to introduce new characters. That way the color of their skin doesnt matter really since it is 30 years later and Conan might even have gotten a tan and muscles arent needed that much since he is older (but wiser and still respected). I think that solution would solve several problems at once.


Read the comics. He's always been dark skinned.


Yepp, Conan is described as being bronze-skinned.


How did Arnold kill REH's Conan? The only things that were wrong: hair and eye colour. REH was a big bodybuilding fan (that's why he made Conan so) and who better to portray his character than a former bodybuilding champion?

I just wish someone would go a bit further and give him a badass beard. That's the only thing Conan is lacking.
Just look how badass Stella Skarsgard looked as Cerdic in King Arthur:

*Removed Huge picture*


I absolutely agree with the bodybuilding thing (Howard trained bodybuilding and boxing) but Arnolds Conan feels stupid mostly by his inability to form coherent sentences.
Arnold as Conan feels to me like casting Arnold as James Bond. He is great in roles like Terminator or Predator, but I like my Conan stories with a bit more “story” then just mindless action (I know I'm pretty much alone here though) and I suspect that this movie will disappoint me. I really enjoyed the Solomon Kane movie though ^^

Arnie is very flexible. And his english improved over the years.

No Arnold, and the director is horrible.

Conan the Barbarian was so epic. This promises to underperform even Conan the Destroyer.

you are very right of course and I belive ”True Lies” is considered Arnolds best movie (by people who know this stuff) but I would still sneer a bit if he had been chosen as the British agent.

I will however retract my previous sentence “that Arnold killed Conan” and more correctly (at least according to me ) say that John Milius & Oliver Stone (The Story writers) killed Conan, they took a character that said:

"Again Conan shook his head. “Let others dream imperial dreams. I but wish to hold what is mine. I have no desire to rule an empire welded together by blood and fire. It’s one thing to seize a throne with the aid of its subjects and rule them with their consent. It’s another to subjugate a foreign realm and rule it by fear. I don’t wish to be another Valerius. No, Trocero, I’ll rule all Aquilonia and no more, or I’ll rule nothing.”"
- The Hour of the Dragon

And turned it into someone who said AUAUAUAGHGHGH!

I sense a bad remake, lot like most remakes of classics.

It will be

* Mediocre acting.
* Over-blown visual effects and fight scenes.
* Aimed towards people that like WWE
* Shallow and predictable story.
* Nothing like the original.


Just sayin.

I think your last prediction contradicts some of your other predictions!

LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing. :D

This is gonna be terrible, will definitely not pay to watch this.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

I literally just got out of seeing this in 3d in theaters........................
with that said, 1/10 is a generous score IMO.
Save your money, If I didn't go see it with my dad (damn you daddddddd!!!!!!) I would have walked out

are you people serious ? Saw this movie a couple days ago, and thought it was a great action movie. If you were expecting some Chris Nolan plot movie, wtf is wrong with you ? This was the first action movie I've seen in a long time that held nothing back, from start to finish.
