Conan (2011)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pitch:<\/strong> “Let’s remake the John Milius\/Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/strong> cult classic Conan the Barbarian<\/strong><\/em>!” <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tagline:<\/strong> “Enter an age undreamed of.<\/strong><\/strong><\/em>“<\/p>\n

The Story:<\/strong> Conan<\/strong>, born on a battlefield, who became a warrior as a child, gets the opportunity as an adult, to get vengeance against the man who murdered his father.<\/p>\n

The Good:<\/strong> Not much really. Jason Momoa<\/strong> shows promise as Conan<\/strong>, but is let down by a really bad script. There is plenty of action (the best two scenes being Conan<\/strong> as a youth fighting four savages, and then as an adult fighting sand warriors) but just don’t think too hard about what takes place before and after.<\/p>\n

The Bad:<\/strong> The script is bad. Things happen just because they need to without regard to logic, continuity or common sense. Perhaps the only thing worse than the script is Ron Perlman’s<\/strong> beard.<\/p>\n

The Ugly:<\/strong> Did I mention the script? Ron Perlman’s<\/strong> beard?<\/p>\n

The Rating: D<\/strong><\/p>\n
