This film had one pretty great sequence true to the stories.


Conan leading a free company and freeing a bunch of slaves cause he didn't like the status quo of the local government is solid Conan. Later, he celebrates in an anarchy pub with naked bitches and gets into a feat of strength with his boy. He's out classed, and so resorts to spitting wine in his face. Conan, young and emerging tactician, learns alternate means to resolving his goals. This tiny part of the movie was brilliant and spot on.

I think the best part of the movie was the first ten minutes, from Conan's dramatic birth to his killing of the band of Picts during his rite of passage race. These sequences showed real promise and had me both excited and impressed. From there it went downhill like rolling *beep* Although an omen of what was to come could have been the opening sequence with Morgan Freaking Freeman doing the narration. I felt like I was about to see The Shawshank Barbarian.

Pub of Anarchy? All Conan ever did was quest for his crown and glory in the stories.

Felt to me like the abandoned story lines as they went along. Almost like they had four different people write ten minutes at a time and threw it all together.. Some parts were great others cartoonish at best.

The giant octopus-like monster scene was spot on too! Also, the angry look in Conan's eyes and wicked grin remind me a lot of the comics I've grown reading too.

Conan broke the neck of a wild bull before he was 15, so it was pretty ridiculous seeing how many people in this film seemed to be stronger than him.
