Of course, it didn't help that the copy I watched kept cutting out on the sound (weird, couldn't see any significant scratches on the Bluray). And maybe I just couldn't get Stargate Atlantis out of my head. But I just couldn't fully believe in Momoa's Conan. I've not read the books; but the character didn't mesh with what I remember from the comic. Conan is almost pshycotic; he knows he's destined for greatness, and nothing will stop him. He doesn't care about others. If he actually was more materialistic, he'd probably be evil. But that lack of materialism is what centers his neutrality; he just doesn't give a f**k about the world, so if everyone keeps out of his business, he stays out of theirs.Great Popcorn Flick - RV_BOLO
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie. Great casting having Jason Mamoa as Conan and Rose McGowan as the witch/villain's daughter. Great action scenes, special effects, fight choreography, etc. Put your brain in park, get out the popcorn, sit down and enjoy!Good Action / Weak Story - jeffnote
I was looking forward to watching this movie. I thought Jason Mamoa was good in game of thrones. His acting in Conan is a bit weak, but looking back he doesn't talk much in game of thrones so maybe he's not a good actor. The story wasn't that good either. The action is good. It is definitely an 18a movie for blood/gore and nudity.
Don't expect too much from it and you'll enjoy it more.
