Conan the Barbarian (3)

It's been a long time in the making but it will finally be coming out in August. Conan the Barbarian is an amazing movie but I'm pretty sure this new version will be horrible. The trailer does not inspire confidence...

Sorry to split hairs, but this is not Conan The Barbarian 3, it's a remake of the first...Number 1 was The Barbarian and number 2 was The Destroyer.

The Barbarian was awesome, The Destroyer SUCKED...I don't expect anything out of this one either.

Tried to rep you for this haha I loved The Barbarian.

It's a reboot but the third film, if you dig. I think they are going for the whole 300 vibe. I love 300, but Conan it ain't.

p.s.
That creep can roll, man.

The original books by Robert E. Howard are the best. Those movies sucked big time.

I grew up on those.

I grew up reading the originals created by Robert E Howard and the books written by L. Sprague de Camp. I was very disapointed when the movies came out. They sucked! Hopefully this new movie will stick closer to the original character Howard created and not the crap that was portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

To the generation (like me) that grew up on Arnold as Conan no re-boot/re-make will ever work. Just like the generation that grew up with the books of Conan, the Arnold ones were not go.

This movie (ie. story) is not for us but for a younger generation to inspire them.
Me I think I'll label myself an old dog and skip this one. Just like I skipped the new bond films with they used a perrty boy with blond hair.

I will crush the makers of this movie and drive before me so that I may hear the wails and lamentations of their women.

"I live, I love, I slay, and I am content"? What a nancy boy.....

I too grew up reading those books, along with some other sword/sorcery books.

Although I love the first Conan movie, it didn't really follow the books.

But what I really wish is that someone somewhere would take Michael Moorcock's books and make a series of movies based on them.

Elric of Melniboné would make for a great movie. I can see it now... Julian Sands as Elric and Jason Alexander as Moonglum... it would be awesome.
