This is mostly ugly looking blah. But all the scenes with Ron Pearlman are actually good. Every movie should have some Ron Pearlman. Also the villains are decent.

This is not a Conan movie. May be the similarity of the name. Conan needs Nolan!

The worst fan-fiction probably has more depth than this.

I didn't expect this to be so fun. It's packed with action from start to finish, with over the top outfits and characters to fill in the scant downtime.

Basically a video game movie. Conan moves from level to level, fight scene to fight scene, beating up whatever he can, until he reaches the boss (which he beats up), only to move on and do it all again in a new level. The fights are neat, but that's about it.

3- not worth your time, not good

The new Conan was surprisingly dull. While it has all the gore and sex you'd expect, its not thrilling or fresh enough to be titillating. They also don't change Conan's origin story all that much from the Arnold version, and you can guess the course of the narrative a few minutes into the film. It could have benefited from one character betraying another, or maybe a new villain being revealed partway through the movie; Stephen Lang's character isn't as threatening as Jones's was.

The first hour was great, then it got really silly. Almost like a B movie made with top notch special effects. The actors aren't bad, I just think the director can't inspire good acting.

Rose McGowan trying to act, lololo. Conan the Continuity Error. I swear the cut and pasted the same CGI blood splatter on every other person being hit. One kill a guy gets a sword drawn across his chest, that same CGI blood spurt, he falls to the ground with no mark at all on him. LAAAAZY MOVIE wah wah wah whatever. THE OLDEN DAYS everyone walked around with rockin' knockers, EVERYONE.

Poor remake, although it isn't the leads fault. There are actually some bright spots with some beautiful locations and creative ways to kill people.

nice locations, decent effects but extremely cheesy and predictable plot. The gore looks fake and the fight choreography looks like junk. Not even good as a "stuff face full of popcorn and stare at screen while blanking out" action flick. Crap.

The pacing and dialogue were horrid. It felt like several stitched together TV episodes. Still finished it though, since the action was adequate

Nowhere as good as the original. Action was good in certain parts.

at some point, enough people with more than enough money thought THIS was a good idea. and that bothers me about this world...

Not so good

my biggest complaint is that there should be no snow in a conan movie, but other than that's there's not much to complain about. to all the critics out there: what did you expect? it's a friggin' swords and sorcery movie, this has pretty much everything you'd want from one. oh yeah, i really could have done without her, i yelled for joy when she got her hand chopped off.

Decent cinematography and Jason Momoa was good as a Conan and looked pretty. I kinda enjoyed this film... but then again I like B grade horror.

Pretty damn terrible. I mean I can't deny there are occasional moments of non-terribleness, with some great locations and gruesomely Conan-ish violence, but overall it's just terrible. Granted, aside from James Earl Jones, the original had really bad acting but it did have an absolutely incredible score and superb art direction. This has bad acting, all around, without a great score or good art direction. Big disappointment but not surprising.

I didn't really have any high expectations while watching this movie. I did want to see it for Rachel Nichols, though. She did an excellent job in this movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this movie looked. There were cool costumes and props and the settings were really sharp. The action was intense although, towards the end I was getting a little tired of sword fighting. The double-sword that the bad guy had was really interesting and Conan was quite the barbarian.

interesting take on a film that's part remake and part reboot. This isn't the high-fantasy tale of the 80's but it's still a great film in its own right. FWIW; I didn't and won't watch the 3d version. Nor any other 3D film. Ever.

Not as bad as i thought, not as good as Schwarzenegger, but the plot ruins it in the end.

so pathetic...

Not even bad in a funny way. Just bad.

80s character design, cgi, angsty conan, silly conan plot, and 2011 style dont mesh well. Conan looked like he had a lot of eyeshadow and custom eyebrow sculpting. Average in every way.

The only good thing about the movie is the Title animation. Seriously.

The new Conan is played by personal favorite Jason Momoa. He is mostly very good in this, but a pretty poor script and annoying camerawork cheapens the movie a great deal.

Well, there is simply no plot here and the greatest amount of blood since 300. And Momoa is not the problem: Nispel fails to direct even a film which is destined to be campy.

"Conan the Barbarian seems to have little interest in '30s pulp stories, and only a little more in cheesy '80s epics." - Jaime N. Christley

Some very cool CG vistas go to waste in this turkey.

So inferior to the Conans of my childhood. Where's the fun? Where's the fear? Where's Valeria?

steal from here, steal from there but nothing... prefer watching tele tubbies...

Weak conan and a awful story. Why change so much from the first one.

really good action 10 out of 10 the new guy does a good job and good storyline

Honestly - I don't know what's worse; the action, the near-comical special effects, Rose McGowan's horrible performance, the weird editing, the unnatural pacing, the absence of a plot... I could go on, but I'd rather put this dull manathon behind me. I was literally bored after 15 minutes and I was no less bored at the end.

The 3D was basically flat. Waste of money on 3D! But the film was pretty fun! Great scenery, great fighting, not so great on the acting, but it's Conan the Barbarian! What did you expect?

The main actor was sexy as fuck, but that's all cause movie has no spirit

Stick with the 1982 version.

I got what I expected out of Conan the Barbarian. I didn't get a plot or characters that had depth, instead, I got a bunch of inventive action scenes that kept me entertained for a couple of hours. Was it great? Absolutely not, but it could have been if the characters had been stronger. I can't deny that I had a fun time with Conan though, whether it be sitting back and enjoying the spectacle, or laughing at how ridiculous everything that happens was.

This movie definitely exists.

By Krom, what cobblers is this. After a phoned in expo dump by Morgan Freeman, this starts quite well with the kid Conan being a junior badass and Ron Perlman. Jason Momoa even looks Conan-ish... and then it goes to hell. (Somehow) too much action which is shot too close and edited appalingly, characters vanishing in and out and the rotation of idiot balls amongst cast. I'll leave with this: Rose McGowan goes for scenery-chewing, misses and isn't the worst actor. Also, editing is BALLS.

Jason Momoa looks and moves like Conan should, but a hero is only as good as the villains he fights, and the two main antagonists are awful. The evil necromancer with his lame octopus mask and lame double scimitar did not seem that powerful or threatening, and his daughter looked like an extra from one of the Star Wars prequels. Their backstory is dumb too, but at least the action is good. Conan is graceful and powerful, Momoa can handle his sword, and there's tons of gore. Still disappointing.

Well what can I say. For me the the original is a one of the best movies ever. The new one tries it's best but sadly the main problem is with the story that doesn't grow at all. It's just action scenes after another. Some enemies look like that they can offer an enjoyable battle scenes but the camera work ruins most of them. Then the main villain is just too ordinary and could work in a tv-series but not on a big screen. Jason Momoa is okay as Conan but nothing to compare with Arnold.

An enjoyable Action film with plenty to keep you interested, and Jason Momoa is certainly a fine actor and definitely a great choice for Conan! I was also rather impressed by Rose McGowan as the pure evil Marique. It has a flaw here and there but in general you are always entertained and for an Action film there is hardly a dull moment so I really liked that. Can't compare it to the original because I have not seen it but I'm sure guys in particular will really enjoy this as I certainly did :)

One of the worst A-movies ever in terms of script and acting!! I was waiting for the movie to end so I could go to sleep. I am a big conan fan and has been collecting conan magazines for a decade but in this movie they portraited Conan as a little pussy when he was grown up. I liked the first part of the movie when he was a kid but then he evolved into a spineless little bitch. Arnold is still teh Conan king!

There's some stuff in here that felt more 'Conanny' than the Arnie version, and it's nice that some minor characters don't stick around for the entire movie. Too bad the story and most of the characters are Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog levels of terrible. Rose McGowan almost managed to ruin the whole film by herself, but she got plenty of help. I thought Momoa was a pretty decent Conan, preventing this from becoming a true stinker.

Far better than the original. And it isn't even close. In a film like this, sound and visuals count for a lot. The original film simply stunk visually, the music was wrong, and everything was just happening too slowly. Here, Jason Momoa is perfect in the role, (better than Arnold) and the landscapes, sound, pacing and action are excellent. As long as you are not expecting any profound insights into the human condition, this immersive popcorn flick is enjoyable from start to finish.

mindless action, but not even entertaining, rather cheesy and boring

I think I owe Kevin Sorbo an apology...

Holy shit I feel like I just watched the actual revamped Prince of Persia Sands of Time film. Weird. Evil King Guy + Daughter = Vizier Conan = Prince Sand Monsters = Sand Monsters Platforming = Platforming Dull bits between cool stuff = dull bits between cool stuff (lazy writing) Overall - it's OK, would watch again unless something more interesting was happening.
