    @Marshal Victory: Visually the new one looks good but it wouldn't take much for this to be another Pathfinder (same director) or even 10,000BC, definitely wouldn't say it looks like a B movie though, I just think it looks too interchangeable with any number of fantasy movies and doesn't have anything to really stand out from the pack or give due respect/proper homage to Robert E. Howard, I could see it as a Kull movie for sure but not Conan. I don't know if Manu Bennett tried out but I'm guessing he didn't since he was working on Spartacus while Conan was being made.

    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.

    Dungeons and Dragons meets the Matrix.
    M'eh.

    The dialogue / acting looks suspect ( granted it was only 2 minutes ), to much CG ... gone are the days of actually having to make a movie. And really ... how can you have a Conan movie without Mako?!?

    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?

    meh.  Love Robert E. Howard's Conan but as far as this trailer is concerned, it seems like they made a generic action movie and plugged Conan into their movie rather than the movie being built around him.

    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.


    Regardless.....

    Let's stop talking about Arnold & that other film. The only thing the Arny-film had in common with RE Howard's stories was proper-nouns. Other than that, that film had absolutely nothing to do with Conan - not the character's personality, history or motivation. Howard's main theme was totally ignored. The background-setting was HINO (Hyboria In Name Only). The narrative-story in no way resembled anything Howard ever wrote. And Arnold Schwarzeneggar was an objectively bad choice to play Conan. Yeah, Arny was buff but so what? Superman's buff too - does that mean Arny would've made a good Superman? Arny was as good a choice for Conan as he'd be for Superman. 

    I guess what I'm trying to say is: To compare this new Conan movie to the old one doesn't make any sense, because the old one wasn't about Conan. At all. Maybe this new film will wind up sucking, but if that's the case it won't be because Momoa isn't enough like Arnold.

    @El_Nastro: Thank you, don't get me wrong I loved the old Movie(the first one, the second sucked) but Arnold's Conan had very little in common with Howard's Conan. In the original stories Conan had much more of a sense of humor and was a much more diverse fighter. Howard described him as having very catlike movements, while Arnold was much more apelike so having Conan fight with more flashy moves is actually more in line with the character Howard created

    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.

    Well then all I can tell you is: stay away from Robert E. Howard's Conan stories.

    You'd hate them.

    @El_Nastro:  You hit the nail directly on the head. I honestly believe that Momoa is actually a good choice for playing a believable Conan, but I'm genuinely convinced that this film is just going to be another slapped-together action flick with Hyborian names pasted on. I've read the plot synopsis and it in no way resembles anything Howard would have written. It really bugs me...they have such a great cast, the visuals are sharp, the fight choreography looks amazing...and then they give us some cookie-cutter Scorpion King knock-off of a story.

    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."

    from http://screenrant.com/conan-barbarian-rating-sean-hood-sandy-113917/

    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.
