Conan the Barbarian..(Not terrible but coulda been better)

2hrs in length...Rated "R" because of the Tits & Ass scenes...The Blood-splatter is so-so..I give it 2 1/2 Stars..(Decent/Fair)

Saw this Flick with a Bud Friday night. It was alright but it lacked special effects BIG-time. The production value leans toward "Made for TV" but there were good Cinema moments. Ron Perlman plays Conan's Father and he Delivers an excellent "supporting" part like always. Ron must be on some kinda Quest to do more "Sci-Fi-Fantasy Flicks" than any other Actor.
The Studio decided to go with a script that introduces the audience to Conan as a Teen. The Kid is totally "Crazy" and true to everything a Barbarian-in-training is suppose to become. Of course Jason Momoa is the "Adult Conan" and he's alright but he's NO Fucking Arnold. NOBODY can swing a Damn Sword like Arnold. His Ex-housekeeper PROBABLY agrees with me...LOL....Jason is a "Pretty-boy" and his hair is so "Permed-up" you really gotta look past that to see "The Barbarian" the Director is trying to sell you on..
Now had I been the Casting Director I would have given the role to one of WWE's Wrestlers..Not "The Rock", but maybe the other Guy with the Dirty Blonde hair. He's done a couple of Flicks and I think he was "The Rocks" Nemesis back in the day..Somebody reading this knows who' I'm talking about. I would have taken a "chance" with that guy...
I'm gonna assume the Budget was SMALL cause all you get is two Freaking Special effect scenes....That's it. The scene with the "Sand Demons" is all they could afford. I wanted MORE Sorcery and Monsters. Had they NOT paid the Legendary Morgan Freeman an ASS-Amount-of-Money to Narrate the Shit they could have added more special effects...
They underused the "Evil King" and the Camera Loves the Guy.
"Conan the Barabrian" is worth the Admission price to a Daytime Matinee, not Full Price after 5pm. My Ultilmate RULING is wait for it to drop on DVD in 4 months.

You're probably referring to Triple H
