Normally, I think I may have passed on watching Conan, the Barbarian - I didn't watch the original, don't really enjoy plotless violence, and, well, it just didn't look very good. There was, however, one very compelling reason for me to go out and watch this: Jason Mamoa. I mean, just LOOK at him. Kripes. I like him with dreads, I like him cleanshaven, with short hair or long; I like him in SciFi, Fantasy and random airport footage; I like that he’s muscly in all the right places and has dimples to boot. I think he’s just about the yummiest thing I’ve seen since… since… I can’t remember the last time I drooled over a Hollywood actor! So, that’s why I went to watch Conan.
What was the movie about? I can’t really remember – it had a lot of plot holes, so it was pretty much incoherent. With a better script writer and director, it would have been halfway decent. The actors (not just mo!mo!ahhhhh….) weren’t too bad at all – pretty much wasted on a poor script. Sadly, I have to give it only 1.5 stars out of 5. As compensation, here are some pics!

mmmm he is delicious! I'm actually going to watch it this weekend too. I haven't seen the original either, but a half-naked, dirty & bloody, muscly man on a killing spree is always a good reason to watch a movie. Plot be damned! LOL
There is something primal about men like that, isn't there. I've never understood girls who go after the metrosexual type - I mean, would they slay thousands to avenge my death? No. I slept very well after watching Conan, let me tell you. (...TMI?)
