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.
