It was awful, I wanted to cut my veins and let my life essence spill forth simply to end it. Pressing the off button on the TV worked better though.

They should make a new one where, many years after his original adventures, Conan becomes governor of a province in a far-off land.

Yes, I hated it. It wasnt even that tongue in cheek, mildly humorous bad where one might bear through it, like a pastiche of fantasy movies, it was just so poor. The ones with Arnie weren't super but Id much rather watch those.

It was pretty freaking bad. My son loved it though, so it's okay as a kid's movie.

Ouch, ok, thanks for the terrible but honest review.

The first Conan is a lot better, but you could do far worse than watch the new one.

Damn you! you spoiled the fun.

The OP searched for Conan the Barbarian movie and guess what, the link she got was to the new awful remake of the original masterpiece.
