Three years later, I kind of like it now.


I didn't like it at the time but now I've got it on DVD it somehow works better!
Didn't think Jason Momoa was right for Conan then but now I think he is actually better than Arnold! lets remember at the time a lot of people and critics said that Arnold was too slow when fighting and he was wooden. Looking at it again Jason is younger,faster and tougher with a mean broody cro-magnum look about him. very underrated, it needs a second chance.

Yep. I totally agree. Jason was brilliant as Conan; faster, more menacing, better fighter and a far superior acting quality.

The thing is too, Arnie is actually a cr@p actor in reality. I do enjoy his films but he's very one-dimensional.

Arnie is ... very one-dimensional.
So you're suggesting Jason was more than one-dimensional in this film? I didn't mind the film but really. This was no Oscar-worthy performance.
