Conan the Barbarian, 2011 Remake... by Crom I killed someone!!!

[Gaiteiro]

I was so relaxed washing the dinner dishes and I saw out of the corner of my eye a trailer on my 14" TV (90s), I didn't pay attention until I heard something like...Conan!!!!
No kidding I thought to myself, quickly and fast I asked uncle Google and he confirmed my worst fears....a remake of Conan!
And I say confirmed because after watching the trailer I still can't believe it, they've put a guy who's a noodle to play Conan, I mean sure he doesn't look like Arnold, but they've put a pretty boy to heat up the girls.
Conan is a hunk of muscle with a lot of bad attitude (he's barbaric of course) and not too much brain (that's why Arnold's interpretation was spot on) but how in the name of Crom do they put that mannequin to play Conan?????

Obviously I'll go to the cinema to see it, you see, sometimes I'm a masochist, but oh man...it's Conan and you have to give it a chance.
But I'm afraid that another myth is going to fall, by Crom!
And that's it, I just needed to vent a little and this is free xD
Regards.

PD: If Crom raised his head....

It looks good, let's see how it is since I haven't seen anything about Conan since the online game fiasco XD.

Jajaja what can we do about it... that's how the film industry is right now.
The next one will be inspector gadget in the comedy category and I don't think I'm exaggerating much... xD

We'll have to take a look at it after all...

Best regards!

This actor played Khal Drogo in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, am I mistaken?

@Sylver:

Jajaja qué le vamos a hacer… así va la industria del cine ahora mismo.
El próximo será el inspector gadget en categoría de comedia y no creo que exagere mucho... xD

Habrá que echarle un vistazo a fin de cuentas...

¡Saludos!

Don't listen to me, I forgot that they had already done it... at that time before going to work my memory fails me... xD

Well, the protagonist in question is Jason Momoa, who is indeed Khal Drogo in the TV series "Game of Thrones" ("A Song of Ice and Fire" is the novel series.) and also played Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis for 4 seasons.

He's not a bad actor for this role, I think they're looking for a more "active" and agile Conan, something that an "Arnold-type Conan" probably couldn't offer, better to entertain with scenes full of jumps, somersaults and impossible punches than with brute muscle and two caveman punches :p.
Although, I have to admit that female hormones will also fill cinemas :risitas:

I'm a fan of Conan and I'll have to see the movie, but I fear the worst of the worst, not only because the protagonist lacks energy on all sides, but because the trailer smells of nonsense from a km away. Let's see how it is but I don't have much hope. If anyone sees it, a mini review wouldn't be bad :risitas:

Greetings!

When I saw the trailer I couldn't believe it.

It's like they took any other masterpiece (Delta Force, for example) and changed Chuck to a puppet.
If you tell me it's okay, maybe I'll be encouraged but I'll be scared to download it. They don't even respect the classics anymore. :nono:

[Tecnho]

Arnold's was pretty, and the barbarians were supposed to be like that, like chuache XD.

I knew him for this role, as a fan of Stargate that I am :chuckles: Well, I suppose I should acknowledge that I'm not a fan of Conan the Barbarian, haha, but anyway, maybe I'll watch it after all.
And the fact that a boss I had was an extra in one of the movies and they filmed a part in Ávila, or so he told me. Although of course, he had more hair back then.

Best regards!!

[Gaiteiro]

I'm picking this up a bit because of a news story I saw on TV today.
The caves where part of the footage for Conan the Barbarian (the one with Arnold) was filmed are being demolished to make a shopping center. They are the caves of San Roque, in Almería.

Wow, they don't even respect that
Best regards.

P.S.: I heard that Schwarzenegger is coming to shoot it out with the workers, and when he filmed Conan he already said: I'll be back... Mmmm, maybe it wasn't with the one from Conan.... xD

[CNCBCN]

WELL. but will some girl come out who is good looking? No? because I don't know... I notice you guys are a little "weird" if this continues like this the forum will be owned by REPSOL :D:D:D:D

[Nemo]

@CNCBCN:

GOOD. but will some girl come out who is good looking? no? because why not... I notice you a little "strange" if this continues like this the forum will be like REPSOL :D:D:D:D

Man of course...it won't be a turnip field..:smilies::smilies:.
And what girls..we know one from the series haunted...the redhead.

And the other among other things from the 5th season of Alias,appearances in the series Criminal Minds and the movie Star Trek (2009) or G.I.Joe.

Best regards.

[CNCBCN]

the movie seems more interesting although in a nostalgic way, neither the Valkyrie, nor the witch, nor the silly little princess was bad at all ;D

[Raesan]

They've made the original Conan a work of art, and Arnold's role as a barbarian a textbook reference. What is a barbarian but a babbling beast with a lethal instinct to kill and destroy? Why have they turned him into a metrosexual? How did they intend to make a blockbuster by turning a landmark in the sword and sorcery genre into mass media for teenage girls? Did they try to get it into the "Twilight" vibe???? I don't get it.

[Tecnho]

I still haven't seen it and everyone I know who has seen it says the same thing that it's very weak and this one is terrible, he already looked a bit out of place in stargate, he looked like a mime instead of a guy who had to deliver milk like bread.

@Tecnho:

I haven't seen it yet and everyone I know who has seen it says the same thing: it's very weak and this one is terrible, he already looked a bit bad in the role in stargate, he seemed more like a mumbling man than a guy who had to deliver milk like bread.

I must say I saw the remake shortly after it came out and to compare it with the original I watched the one with Schwarzy again... and the truth is, from the point of view of pure entertainment, I find the modern one more enjoyable, I agree that it's a classic that we all carry in our memory and in our heart but I think it happened to me like when you watch those cartoons that drove you crazy as a kid and you think..."wow...I used to love this?".

Always from the point of view of entertainment, the modern one is more "active" compared to the 20 minutes without a single dialogue of the old one, which ends with the annoying music up to the brim.

But inevitably the new one will suffer the same fate as all the movies designed to entertain...it will be lost in the memory of time and in the future when Conan is mentioned, people will always remember Schwarzenegger and his 1982 movie...as it should be.

Best regards
