Conan Trailer
Ralf would be pretty good, I've been a big fan of his work for a while now (especially his Uwe Boll movies that everyone hates) but like you said definitely too old lol. I've been meaning to watch Conan the Adventurer, it has been in my hulu queue for ages now and I've been slowly working my way through all the episodes of the animated Conan the Adventurer :P
I know the generic fantasy look comes from the classics but this new stuff is too stylized, too clean, too shiny it needs to be dark, dirty and grimy like Centurion, Valhalla Rising, Outlander or even the 13th Warrior. On rewatching the Conan trailer it just feels too much like Prince of Persia :P
Movie poster looks decent but seems a little over the top like it is trying to hard, the movie better have a hard R rating to justify that poster though, might be possible since it is a Lionsgate film.
God, what a bunch of bitching complainers. If Conan himself jumped out of Robert E Howard's original manuscript you people would find something to complain about. I hope this movie does huge numbers and shuts you up. For those singing the Arnold version's praises, can you send me some of whatever hyborian weed you're smoking?
@pikahyper:
Nope its pg13 .Their resoning for it was if you took the books an did present day rateings thats what it would be.They keep sayng its more based off the books.An ya now that you mention it i can see a prince of persia vibe sorta.But the trailer looks worse than any thing else i have seen of the film.
Crap ya reminded me i need to rebuy the 13th warrior on dvd.Loved that movie.But like i said ill give the movie a fair chance before final judgement.. that or i see red letter media review hehe.
Arnold Schwarzenegger should have an appearance in this movie. Just a brief cameo, like how Stan lee appears in marvel movies
13th Warriors is all kinds of epic, love that movie dearly.
This movie may be good, it may be bad. Thus far it's looking like it's going to be mediocre at best, but there's a sliver of hope, however minute.
no matter what i will not see this movie. if by some divine intervention i do end up seeing it, i will not like it.
It might be a good movie, but Ahnold will always be Conan. the first movie was so horrendous it was actually good, and that's why it's a classic. making a reboot is a shame because if it's worse than the original, that's bad. if it's better than the original, that's also bad.
that's my rant for the day.
@Marshal Victory:
What's your issue? You're dumping all over the movie and you dont even have your facts straight. Quit flapping your mouth and actually do some research. The Movie is rated R:
@pikahyper:
Ignore Marshall VIctory. Its rated R:
"It might be a good movie, but Ahnold will always be Conan. the first movie was so horrendous it was actually good, and that's why it's a classic. making a reboot is a shame because if it's worse than the original, that's bad. if it's better than the original, that's also bad. that's my rant for the day. "Well then all I can tell you is: stay away from Robert E. Howard's Conan stories.
It looks like they are trying to copy 300 with the fight scenes
Conquer the whole of Hyboria ??? There is no such thing as Hyboria, the country or continent !!! It's the Hyborian AGE as in the Victorian Age.
"Hmmm... I'd also be cautiously optimistic... Looks to have good effects & fight choreography but will the story & acting hold it together...?!im cautiously optimistic...
if this is R-rated in 3D and successful this could revive Del Toro's Mountains of Madness movie
"

@Marshal Victory: pg13 pfff that is insulting, no doubt there are no saucy wenches peddling their wares and how can you have a Conan movie without wenches !!! even Arnolds Conan the Barbarian had an R rating.13th Warriors is all kinds of epic, love that movie dearly.
"
Seems what i read originaly about the rateing was wrong.That teach me for trusting the internets..
"The world of Hyboria, as Robert E. Howard described it, is fleshy and brutal. Bloody beheadings and bare-chested slave girls abound. However, while the movie is unflinching in its depiction of barbarism, slavery and warfare, the violence and nudity emerge from the fabric of the story. It isn’t gratuitous.
Robert E. Howard’s stories, although violent and perverse for their time, were not intrusively graphic either. So this is ultimately a movie about the character Conan, a character that will hopefully launch a healthy franchise of movies with stories and characters that celebrate Howard’s work. Yes, you’ll see blood and boobs, but this isn’t a Cinemax movie; it’s epic action/fantasy. And yes, it’s rated R."

The second paragraph was cut from the quote others used to say it was pg13.So theirs more hope it will be at least decent.Think now some are going to great lentghts to hate the film .Like miss quoteing the above.Also he came along way i think looks wise for the role.

Marcus Nispel only makes shitty movies. I love Jason Momoa, so it's too bad that this movie probably won't be that great. However, if it's good, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Looks like a CGI mess and that actor needs to eat his Wheaties and pound some more iron for another year because that dude is too scrawny to be the Conan.
