Conan the Barbarian was great because of the 3 villain roles. Ben Davidson and Sven Ole Thorsen were massive. It doesn't come close to the source material but it's enjoyable for what it is.

This new Conan movie looks okay but there's no way its going to be better. Ahnold's Conan had just 2 or 3 lines that were longer than a couple of words. they really played to his strengths. Conan the Barbarian had epic music from Basil Poledouris too. The new movie might suffer from depending on an unknown to take on the role and act.

Let me know when someone makes the unrated film versions of John Norman's Gor. :hump:

Apparently Momoa worked himself up to 225 or 230 pounds for the role. He's 6'4. It's not like we're talking about a tiny little guy here.

Even as far back as only 2000 years ago the most common man was about 5-6 to 5-7 (according to some program I watched either on history Channel or Discovery). All of those tall heroic looking Romans, for example, speaking with classic English accent on the screen wouldn't look and sound so awesome and imposing if we went back in time and met them.

Arnold was not that much of a known actor at the time he made CTB.

Also they do a good job with "epic music" and all the other stuff you mentioned if they put proper effort into it. You act with conviction like this is gonna be SciFi channel movie. We don't know yet the quality they aim to put out.

Sorry guys about answering the same post twice. But it occurred to me that only half a century ago, Jimmy Dean's lyrics of "Big John" referred to the "giant of a man" as " stood six foot six and weighed 2-45." Those are the numbers of an average (a bit lanky) linebacker on almost any college campus.

Just sayin'.

I hadn't even considered the possibility that they were trying to make a shit movie. And I'm not sure that this movie is going to suck, its just my first impression.

Well since we are going back in the day as you put it where are they going to go get a bunch of dark haired dark skinned midgets to play the picts?

That movie was already produced.

It's called "Willow".
