And the rest is how he follows Khalar Zym and how he takes his revenge.

Star Performances

All the stars have the same job to do, they all have to scream, talk loudly, and fight madly. Jason Momoa built a great physique for the film, and he looks realistic in some of the fight scenes. Stephen Lang looks great as Zym, he did a bad guy job. Rachel Nichols Born on January 8, 1980, in Augusta, Maine, Rachel >> Read More... also looked good in the film. All the other supporting characters performance is average.

Analysis

The film is full of blood, revenge, sex, scream, fight, and swords. Except this, there is nothing in the film. This film is not related in any way to previous Conan starring Arnold Schwarzenegger “I am back!” His career will always seem to come t >> Read More... . Director completely fails in narrating the story. Lots of VFX used in the film for every fight scene.

What’s there?

1. The action of the film is good, it looks nice on Jason Momoa.
2. VFX used in the film is appreciable. It makes all the fight scenes realistic especially in the climax scene.

What’s not there?

1. Very confused direction, loose screenplay, and improper story.
2. The film is very lengthy, most of the scenes are not required in the second half.
3. Except violence, there is nothing new in it.

Verdict

It is a very bad adaptation of Canon mythology. If you like to watch the action, blood, sword fight then you can watch the film.
