I loved the old Conan movies and I'm hoping to love the new one as well. I don't think it needs to be compared to the books or the old movies. It is what it is. If it's entertaining, that's all it needs to be a good movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499823976841393366.post-72741984060202758772011-05-15T11:21:24.644-05:002011-05-15T11:21:24.644-05:00Every time there's been a movie that strays fr...Every time there's been a movie that strays from the book and a movie that attempts to be closer to the book, the movie that strays from the book has always been better, across the board. That's because adaptations demand something different from the original. If you're going to judge a film by how close it is to the original it is adapted from, then you kind of spit in the face of what is good about film. I'm not saying that it's impossible for this to be better than the originals, mainly because the originals were really only good for their campy value, but do you really think that amidst all of the terrible re-makes of the last decade this new Conan movie has the team necessary to make it a classic film? Or will it become like most of the rest: a hack with a couple cool moments that sells because of how beloved the originals have become to cult audiences?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283192060189469984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499823976841393366.post-65483018086383432512011-05-14T09:10:01.268-05:002011-05-14T09:10:01.268-05:00Yet another pseudo-critic who knows nothing of the...Yet another pseudo-critic who knows nothing of the R.E Howard classic Conan novels. Yes we all loved Arnie but he wasn't true to the book character. Arnie's Conan was a sluggish oaf, the book character was immensely fast and menacing with black hair as well as being immensely strong and a highly intelligent military genius with a flair for languages. Momoa lacks the sheer muscle but has the ferocious feline dangerous look that Howard writes about. Conan also went about in the garb of the time, usually hauberk and cuirass mercenary getup, not the 70's porn Flintstones loincloth in pop culture. The director and last minute script changes makes me think it's going to be average but I for one intend to enjoy a Conan more like Howard's vision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499823976841393366.post-80290509579916045192011-04-06T22:25:38.144-05:002011-04-06T22:25:38.144-05:00Gracias, Pedro.

Espero que regrese a menudo.<br /><br />Half of this was written with an on-line Spanish translator. In case it translated incorrectly, what I meant to say was, "Thanks, Pedro.
