Possible UK DVD/Blu-Ray Cover Art For Conan The Barbarian Revealed!

Talontd@ Agree

Would have needed a better script and director.

I still haven't seen it, I'm waiting for the DVD to come out here. Would've seen it earlier, but the horrid reviews kept me from watching it right away.

@teabag That's true...nuff said. :D

still need to see it.

I'd rather watch grass grow than sit through this movie again; does anyone know how I can un-watch it?

Wow is it really that bad

@Steevage There IS a way you can un-watch it, but I would never suggest such a thing. But you're in luck. Bad movies are not memorable, so that horrible experience will soon fade. How did I deal with it? Oh, I never watched that shit. Never will. =)

@CherryBomb- True.

@thingrock4- NOW I know whats wrong with me. Thank you for your diagnosis. My problem was I disliked movies that sucked.

@Ranger14- I respect your perspective, but Conan's unique personality never showed up. It was almost like a
caricature of him. The dialogue was embarrassing and insulting because it made Conan seems like a 'dumb barbarian' ,which he's a far cry from being. If you've read the books, you know this. Conan is intelligent, clever, concise and wise but simple in speech. He speaks, writes and reads many languages. He's a skilled tactician and strategist, very knowledgeable of geography, and resourceful. No, this wasn't the Conan in the movie.
Moreover, I very much dislike this notion that invader's can trespass upon Cimmarian lands and slaughter them. The Vanir and Asgard raiders were never able to threaten Cimmaria, and when Aquilonia established at fort there, the Cimmarian tribes joined together and crushed their army, sending back south in defeat. This revenge devise used in the movie was base and lazy. Besides, it was already used in the first Conan , where I feel it actually worked better. Conan deserves much more respect than this bloodfest; slaying is not the core of the character. Conan is defined by the quality of his heart. This movie was heartless.

Cool...for when I run outta toilet paper, right?

i'll wait for it to be shown on tv....nuff said :D

Headlopper@ The criticism I did have of the actual Conan character was that they could have brought the intelligent factor more to the forefront than what was done, but I felt there were plenty of cases where his intelligent was portrayed in an indirect or subtle way. I remember commenting to my date at different times throughout the film the significance of some of the things he did in battle or interaction with adversaries as to where his intelligence showed. Even in his fighting style I found his tactical prowess to show. Far beyond what was delivered in the first film and Conan was full of heart in the books, but he was also a savage killing machine, which he certainly was in this film. Revenge was a definitely a main factor, but the people being enslaved was also a strong motivator and that was true to Conan's character in the books.

To each their own. It wasn't a perfect movie, but I felt it was much more true to Conan than the first blah fest.

Wow, Ceejay likes something! There may be hope after all!
