He definitely kicked butt on Stargate Atlantis, though it never felt like they let him stretch his acting chops except for a few key episodes that were sometimes the highlights of a given season. Hopefully the movie will give Mamoa more to do than just have his shirt off, stab, and kick people (though I approve of it anyway!)
 
Reserving judgment, as I do with most comic book movies and/or remakes until I view them in person...or otherwise.

I like you, newcomer!  Welcome to the Vine. "

I don't really like Conan, but WOO! RONAN DEX!

a CONAN film could be cool: but i thought the ROCK would be in it. well i hope some way some how they do find a way to make the SHAZAM movie so rocky can play black adam.

Knew about it....My mom loves this dude, she thinks he's sexy ( I think she has a thing for Samoans, she loves the Rock as well).  As a dude....as a dude from the 80's....as a dude born in the 80's who works out.....as a dude born in the 80's who works out AND is an actor.... sorry man, Jason...Conan needs to be BIG! lol I told my mom about this movie last year when they started filming and we had a big debate about it.  She knew the original Conan movie but not the comics.  She swears he can live up to Arnold's performance which in my opinion surpassed its origin material.  I will admit that Arnold is WAY taller than Conan in comics but at least Frazetta's Conan is cock diesel too.  Momoa is like 6'4"!  Thats NO excuse why he couldnt hit the gym SUPER hard in 6 months and gain 20 lbs!  He COULD have done it but now lookin at him, I'm skeptical.  20 years after the first Conan movie I rewatch it and say DAMN Arnold was in top form, and think "I STILL cant face that barbarian in combat"  and I'm not a small man! Momoa...my mommy loves ya, but you ain't kicking my ass!

This guy could work.

yeh conan on crack,   he's more tarzan then conan   wack very dissapointing

"Conan film? Odd, we get pics from the set before finding out that the film's being made... "

I thought Raw Leiba would play conan but I guess I was wrong, the thing is  Momoa needs a 300 spartan workout and after his tired out he has has to say 'crommm' in a cool way. I dont imagine him sounding the way conan would after watching him in stargate atlantis.

a conan film?........ wooooo zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ronon is Conan... Ehehehehe!

"yeh conan on crack,   he's more tarzan then conan   wack very dissapointing "

After seeing Arnold as Conan, any one who is not built like a human bulldozer doesn't "fit the mold".
