While it's difficult to imagine Conan without Arnold Schwarzenegger this movie lives up to the reputation of the earlier Conan films. Plenty of action, especially after Conan's father is murdered and the village has been destroyed. Conan becomes a thief and a pirate as he sets out to become a magnificent warrior and is on the trail of the evil Khalar Zym, the person responsible for his tribe's village being destroyed and the death of his father.Conan the Barbarian becomes one because of the misery in his past and as he travels about he encounters women who want him along with plenty of adventures, monsters, and witches. Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex of Stargate: Atlantis) is Conan in this updated version of Conan the Barbarian directed by Marcus Nispel (director of Friday the 13th (2009) and Pathfinder)."The 3D aspect enhances the action scenes and there are plenty of them throughout this exciting sword and sorcery film. Cast includes Rose McGowan (Grindhouse, The Black Dahlia), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Ron Perlman of television's Beauty and the Beast, and Rachel Nichols (Criminal Minds)."
