Conan the Barbarian

Fantasy flicks are rolling off the Tinsletown conveyer belt faster than coke bottles and unfortunately the cracks are beginning to show. Case in point: the remake of Conan the Barbarian in 3D.

There is not a lot to it: Conan’s dad is killed, Conan gets pissed, Conan wants revenge. Thrown in is a range of special effects that make it look only fleetingly good. In between that are a lot of grunts, howls, fights, screams and wails. We would rather use the 112 minutes movie duration to catch a nap.

Rating: 1 outta 5.
