"I live. I love. I slay... I am content."

- Conan The Barbarian

The most legendary Barbarian of all time is back this Summer. Having thrived and evolved for eight consecutive decades in the public imagination - in prose and graphics, on the big screen and small, in games and properties of all kinds- Conan's exploits in the Hyborian Age now come alive like never before in a colossal 3D action-adventure film.

you're not even noble

seems to me the scriptwriters here should take a look in the dictionary every once in a while - the question is whether a skilled warrior can be called 'noble':

1
a : possessing outstanding qualities
b : famous, notable
2
: of high birth or exalted rank : aristocratic
3
a : possessing very high or excellent qualities or properties
b : very good or excellent
4
: grand or impressive especially in appearance

other than that the director is lacking experience with such movies and the main actor comes from the tv industry, which points to the likely sub-par outcome regarding this movie, ie. a colossal fail

in case you didn't hear of conan before check the previous 2 well done movies (which need no pompous 3D to deliver quality entertainment) with arnold schwarzenegger in the main role:

Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Conan the Destroyer (1984)

Some trailer.
I was hop'in there'd be at least some 'hype' to get me go'in before I figured I'd best not waste my bandwidth downloading this.
I don't think anyone can replace Arnold's peculiar characterization he held in those films.

what a crap :)
he doesnt even look so tuff like old arnold

[yoco]

I agree with all of you! This is destined to be a disaster!

New trailer

They even have a facebook site dedicated to the film!!??
What a schmuck-a-roo!!

Yes, folks. This is why we have facebook. So that when we think we have boring lives ourselves, we go and look at someone's else's life. In this case, we're not going to see other people's boring lives, we go and see the boring facebook site/account for a film that is worth neither the time nor your bandwidth for downloading. This film is what I"d label 'next to the garbage'.

This film is going to bomb ( my opinion).

It's got great highlights.
Great chicks with some skin showing and all, but the heart of the matter is, at least as I see it, is whether this flick is gonna measure up to par by having at least a mediocre plot and storyline.

I can't see it here. Like I say, the trailer looks like a great and adventurous storyline, but I wouldn't bet that it's gonna be so. Most of the time, when I see a trailer of some film, go and watch it, the show just didn't seem to be what I had hoped for from the trailer viewing. It's got lot's of explosions and all but in the end...not as good as I thought it'd be.

As for my review of this trailer and it's up-and-coming abysmal -flop ( my prediction...so who cares if I'm wrong), I hope that Mr Jones from the CIA investigates me for plotting to overthrow facebook and stealing faces to increase my power).
