Actually looks kinda ok.

@charliem damn I think you are right!

^Bullshit, both of you gullable motherfuckers are wrong. Every pubic hair carring male knows Conan spent the first 20 years of his life pushing a flower mill crank in circles. How much thaylidamide did your mums take to convince you a gritty Conan reboot won't leave you feeling fucked in the ass with a strapon by you own sister? Not a rhetorical question

^ Now to be fair, in the original Conan was taken when he was about the age of the kid in this scene, so that still could be part of it. Not to mention, the first movie didn't necessarily take into account all the original books and comics written by several authors.

That said, it would take a lot to improve on the original masterpiece. And having "Dizturbed" or whatever as the trailer music is not a good start. Gotta love Khal Drogo though.

I miss the guttural nature of Schwarzeneggers accent. I underestimated how much it lent to the feeling of being in a different world in the original film.

This is also not that gritty. It's polished and well-produced, with flashy sword fighting and martial arts techniques, which feel out of place. Blood and sex does not make a gritty film.

A gritty film would capture the raw nature of a real-life struggle. Not some artful dance of blades or skill in a swordfight, as much as two out-of-breath, near death men, both covered in their own blood, one missing his sword arm and only holding a shield to defend from the man in front of him, who's scalp and shoulder muscles he exposed a moment earlier with a near-missed strike, and still he manages to be victorious by spitting a mouthful of dirt into his opponents eyes, and stomping him to death on the neck.

I'm still interested to see what this will be like, but this actually reduced my interest level.

This is pop-culture Conan with shitty music and lack of pacing, from the looks of it.
