Geoffrey V Apples and oranges is the way to see this movie, if you're going to compare them. They're both fruit, they're both good, just the skin is different. The original lumbered on with little action, and the remake just boiled over with action. Perhaps, in the near or more probably distant future, the newest version of Conan of Cimmeria will get it right on the money. So, until then, I recommend you enjoy them both, and let the debate of which is better continue. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review GI S Conan-diana Jones and the Temple of Doom An unnecessary and uninspired reboot that borrows more from the Indiana Jones series than the previous Conan films. Apparently this project was in development since the 90s and geez it shows with multiple writers jumbling up a simple premise into incoherence. Morgan Freeman's rambling narration at the start of the film was the first sign of problems. Then it's a half hour of the young adventures of Conandiana Jones which is really only saved by the amazing presence of Ron Perlman as Conan's dad. The cast is actually great in this, the main cast at least, and the set/costume design is stellar. For a bit I thought Mad Max Fury Road stole some character designs from this film, but apparently it was the other way around lol. What really is intolerable in this movie is the quick cuts (any scene with action cuts every 1 or 2 seconds) and the CGI which is used sparingly but when it's there it's awful and avoidable (who wants to watch Conan fight CGI sand men?). The ending is almost beat-for-beat the ending of Temple of Doom too. The only saving grace is that they went with an R rating, including some graphic violence and nudity/sex. This movie is bad, but in a good way where you can make fun of it the entire time. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Charlotte R The worst film ever. In every way. I hate it so much. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Deni O I love this character and can't think of anyone better than Mamoa to fill this role in 2011. Good visuals, great action scenes, and a healthy dose of barbarian sass. Grab a pitcher of ale and enjoy some escapism and low fantasy. It's a shame they never made a sequel with Samoa, but I'll certainly watch this version again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Kevin D I was wanting to love this movie. I was disappointed it almost had the feeling of early 80-s movies like Hawk the Slayer and Krull. Oh I still like those movies but they were of their time It seemed very slow at times and uninteresting so much so, I have forgotton what was going on between fights and I finished watching 10 minutes ago. The acting was well, acting if that is what the director wanted. I did get ridiculously sick of the Heroine screaming like she was on top of the empire state building with a giant gorilla Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review George X First we had Friday the 13th (2009) now this, this director should retire for good.
