In this movie review of Conan the Barbarian, I get to share my pain with you my reader. You see, I finally got to see Conan The Barbarian. The movie stars Jason Momoa, Stephen Lang, Rachel Nichols, Ron Perlman and Rose McGowan. And to be honest, I think the best part of this movie is the movie one-sheet below!
I’m glad I didn’t drop money at the movie theater on this beast and I’m not sure if I didn’t spend too much on the Comcast VoD rental fee!
Conan the Barbarian is depressingly directed by Marcus Nispel from a script pulled together with duct tape by Thomas Dean Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer and Sean Hood.
Nispel’s next movie project is titled Pacemaker… Too little, too late. This script needed one now. Donnelly and Oppenheimer both scripted Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. (What? You ask?) And A Sound of Thunder.

Conan The Barbarian brought nothing new or original to the screen and came across as a bit of a low-energy experience. And its box office tally shows just how low-energy… with an est $70M budget and a $21M payday, to date, domestically.
I’m not even sure I can recommend it as a rental, unless there’s a huge sale or discount somewhere.
