Conan the Barbarian
Dir: Marcus Nispel
2011
*
Conan the annoying, turns into Conan the irritating and then grows up to be Conan the Egotistical and Conan the unnecessarily violent. Violence has its place in film, and maybe I'm just getting old but it was relentless and tiresome and more than a little gratuitous. I know it was to be expected from a film like this but still, there is only so much one can take. The original was 80's cheese and all the better for it, this one takes itself far too seriously and fails because of it. Enough of the pointless remakes please Marcus Nispel!
