Having thrived and evolved for eight consecutive decades in the public imagination- in prose and graphics, on the big screen and small, in games and properties of all kinds- Conan's exploits in the Hyborian Age now come alive like never before in a colossal 3D action-adventure film. A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.

Shitty audio ads starting up without warning, shitty half page ads popping up, shitty adwords IN the copy and shitty ads obscuring pictures I want to see. Do you really now have to post shitty facebook pages in order for us to watch trailers? In a hundred years of trying, no other site can possibly suck as bad as this. I'm out.

What's so brutal about fake blood being splashed everywhere? I hope the gore is more, shall I say...visceral! I hate when they use that stupid digital blood effect or the even dumber red puff of smoke. I wan't to see heads split in two and people chopped in half! Arms, legs and heads flying everywhere! People smashed by huge clubs! Genitals chewed of by momo the homo!

lol Why would they make it difficult for someone to view the trailer? At the first sign of annoyance, you shrug your shoulders and move on to something else. Luckily for them, someone embedded it in a comment above. Looks like the most hardcore TV show ever.

I'm sorry, but Momoa is no Conan. He just doesn't fit the image that has been molded and sculpted for generations. I don't blame him entirely though. I'd definitely blame the writers for the most part. Plus, from what I've seen thus far, the film just doesn't have that period film flavor like the original.I think that's what give it it's appeal to begin with. Milius had the right idea.
NeoBaggins
NeoBaggins - 7/15/2011, 10:05 PM
Aaesir, I agree. But apparently, a lot of people are sold on an aspect that doesn't even begin to promise an even watchable movie; and that's Momoa's appearance. Because he isn't a bodybuilder, some how, that alone automatically makes him exactly like the Robert E Howard Conan and by extension, a great movie.

Umm...Momoa fits Howard's Conan much better than anything we have seen to date. The only thing he is slightly lacking in is bulk, but he wouldn't be agile and panther-like in his movements if he were bulky like our former Conan was. I will gladly trade a little mass to have every other aspect of Conan that Howard wrote about.
Ranger14
Ranger14 - 7/15/2011, 10:29 PM
This is how Conan the Barbarian should move and fight based on Howard's novels.

Aaesir
Aaesir - 7/15/2011, 10:42 PM
NeoBaggins, I gotcha on that. Though, I just don't see it happening. I'm an AVID...AVID follower of Conan, and this just doesn't cut the mustard for me. You can add whatever 3D effects, action sequences, BLOOD, you name it, and it still doesn't cloud the fact that it doesn't encompass the essence of the character. Arnie was the perfect Conan either, but he made up for it in stature. The original film was also in better care with Milius in control. Going for the period film look was genius to me. Had they had deeper pockets budget wise, it would have been a masterpiece.

Aaesir - 7/15/2011, 10:46 PM
Ranger, I agree about the 'panther-like' agility. Arnie definitely lacked that aspect. Nevertheless, I think Momoa is too much a pretty boy. When you see him it's hard to believe he's done any hard work to build himself up. At least Arnie's Conan looked like he'd pushed that stupid wheel for ever lol.

@Aaesir: He just doesn't fit the image that has been molded and sculpted for generations.

You mean "since 1982." Momoa's Conan has more in common with the Conan of 1932 than does Arnold's Conan. And that's not saying much for Arnold.

NeoBaggins: Because he isn't a bodybuilder, some how, that alone automatically makes him exactly like the Robert E Howard Conan

No, we've long accepted that this isn't going to be as faithful an adaptation as the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter movies. The story is made up for the film, and no real Conan character except for himself appears - just like Arnold's.

What this film has going for it is a more accurate portrayal of Conan himself - based on not only his appearance, but also his manner and backstory. It's not pitch-perfect because of the Arnold film's influence, but it's better than what came before.

Arnold was simply a Bizarro Conan. He was a slave trained in a dojo, programmed by his owners, made what he was by Thulsa Doom, and predestined to be king. Conan isn't any of that.

I agree with the accuracy, but not with it being better.

Arnold was simply a Bizarro Conan. He was a slave trained in a dojo, programmed by his owners, made what he was by Thulsa Doom, and predestined to be king. Conan isn't any of that.

I definitely agree with this point, though I still feel that Momoa is a poor choice for the character. Also, Ron Perlman is another poor choice for Conan's father. We didn't get to see much of him in the '82 film, but William Smith did a great job considering what eh had to work with.

He may match the R.E.H Conan by personality and character, but he doesn't match the Frazetta design. I know this came much later after Conan was created, but the Frazetta design is what has stuck in the minds of most Conan lovers. Momoa doesn't embody this design.
Ranger14
Ranger14 - 7/15/2011, 11:16 PM
I have to chuckle when someone refers to Momoa like he is small or something. The guy is over 6'4" and huge compared to most other guys. Technically, stature means height and Arnold was too short for Conan, he just had the mass. ;-) What Momoa slightly lacks in bulk, his height makes up for that and his weapon skills and speed are what Howard consistently describes Conan as having. Let's not forget that the wheel was written into the original film by Milius. ;-)

I would rather see a Conan whirling through a throng of 20 foes than a massive Conan who tries to overpower a few foes at a time. Momoa is much more brutal looking with his overall look...hair, scars and attitude than what we have seen in the past. I don't see anything pretty about him, especially when he is battling. There's no way you can convince me that Momoa doesn't overall embody Conan better than what we have seen. Take a look at the illustrations in Howard's books and go back and read them. The trailer alone oozes Hyboria so much more than the original film, so I am not sure what you are going for in talking about a period piece. It isn't supposed to be a period piece, it is supposed to be Hyboria. The footage we have seen so far has more action and battles true to Howard's description than the prior film. To each their own I guess if you don't see it.

Ranger14 - 7/15/2011, 11:20 PM
I wish you edit comments!

Conan is Howard's creation, not Frazetta's and if you look at Frazetta's illustrations they are very similar to Momoa's look more than Arnolds, unless you are just looking at the size and even then, Frazetta's Conan has a different muscular build than what Arnold had. I guess I am a Conan lover that is a lover of the books, not the comics or Frazetta. Look a this movies promotional posters and look at Frazetta's design. Pretty darned close if you ask me.
Aaesir
Aaesir - 7/15/2011, 11:44 PM
@Ranger14: No problemo. I understand where you're coming from, so don't get me wrong. I just don't think Momoa is right for the part. He's good for what he does, but he's just not Conan to me. I did his other work, but I'm having problems with this. And no one is disputing who created Conan. I used Mr.Howard's initials instead of his full name. Momoa doesn't fit the Frazetta design. Visually that's what I'm familiar with. Just sayin'. Arnies 5'11" stature could move like Momoa no doubt, but Momoa isn't the most graceful either. One more thing before I go, I'm not really feeling the pristine cleanliness of this film. All of the dirt is too perfect. The '82 film was honestly grimy because they didn't have much of a budget. Had they had the budget this film has, it might have look worse lol.

"Arnie's 5'11" stature could move like Momoa no doubt" - Correction "Could -NOT- move like Momoa." Sorry about that. Typing too fast again.

Ranger14 You just reinforced my point. I agree; Momoa looks more like Robert's Conan (by default) than Arnold. But how is it that leaning in a more "accurate" direction makes this so epic? It is a small thing. One could argue Momoa compared to the artwork. Conan appears stocky in a lot of those drawings and I don't remember him having the curly wet look. But even if Momoa was dead on, cause let's face it; the continued comparison to Arnold is getting weaker because this should stand on it's own, you still have problems outside of his appearance. On top of that, the status of Arnold's classic film isn't going to change. So, you may want to look at Conan 3D on it's own legs. Is it really this hardcore translation on it's own, or are we just pushing that because he's a hair closer to a drawing than the previous Conan?
