CONAN the barbarian

[Azrael]

There's been a couple of trailers, but maybe the new UK one is the best for non-fans. I hope those that have a passing interest in sword & sorcery give this movie a chance, even for the precence of Jason Momoa, who gave a great performace as Khal Drogo in GoT.

Hmmm. The jury is still out for me, but at least this trailer didn't make it look like Conan the Spartan.

The jury is still out for Robert E. Howard fans, even for fans of the comic (Marvel, Dark Horse) version of Conan    The biggest discussion about this film was that it isn't an adaptation from a REH story (almost all of them were adapted by Roy Thomas for the Savage Sword magazine in the 70s, and more recently by Dark Horse, and most of them were great). But, it seems to get several things right, and avoids several of Solomon Kane's mistakes.
