Way better than 1982 film, in every respect, IMO

I still like the original better but I agree this got a unfair amount of hate and is way better than The Destroyer

What's even stranger is my jumping on the bandwagon too so I can put in my 2 cents, probably because I just finished watching it about 5 min ago...oh well, here goes; I happen to be a Conan fan although never got a chance to actually read Howard's stories. I did grow up reading Curtis Magazines version of Conan which later became a regular Marvel Comics Group publication. All the stories were adapted from REH and must say were all pretty incredible stories plus the stark black/white artwork just seemed to add to it's awesomeness. Anyway, I'm writing because I just finished watching Conan 2011 and was not in the bit impressed nor do I feel I'll ever have an urge to watch it again, unlike other movies in my library. Don't get me wrong, I have no great love for Arnie's version either but I thought it had better pacing, choreography, score, and development. This 2011 film had everything it could've needed to make a fantastic film, were it in the hands of a capable director. Conan had no memorable theme, no memorable fight scene, and appeared to be smirking unnecessarily at times. I hope there will be a real Conan movie made someday and for the meantime have relegated this movie to the little kid's section of my library to keep them somewhat entertained when my relatives come visiting. Take care everyone....
