I don&...Yea, Nispel was the absolute wrong choice. I don't know how or why they decided on him of all people. And I feel you, I hate Pathfinder. Cool premise, but it was so fucked up by how Nispel shot it. It could have been a decent film. I just watched the original Conan and was floored by how simple, yet gorgeous it looked. Here they just didn't seem to care. You get no sense of scope, or magic. It's just kind of there. We waited so many years for a Conan film, only to get this, and because of this mediocre film, we'll never get another unless King Conan with Schwarzenegger actually goes through. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-58811973342505859882015-07-21T15:49:06.065-07:002015-07-21T15:49:06.065-07:00It's funny because I feel he was all wrong for...It's funny because I feel he was all wrong for the part. LOL. But, I did have fun with it outside of the Conan universe I guess. The script and direction were so weak, but it was violent and bloody, utilizing some practical sets and such. But it loses all that in the end with some bad CGI work. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-16685569117157896902015-07-16T08:00:21.721-07:002015-07-16T08:00:21.721-07:00Hated this one every step of the way, I just could...Hated this one every step of the way, I just couldn't believe such a crappy film was made when the original is so amazing. Where I could by the first Conan film as an alternate reality...this one just felt goofy in comparison. It just wasn't serious enough in my opinion. Also Marcus Nispel? Whyyyyyyy.....I think they gave it to him because he'd done Pathfinder which I hated as well...I just don't like the way Nispel edits his movies...they feel choppy, the images don't flow smoothly sometimes which to me is one of the worst things that could happen to any movie. I just hope they finally get to make that King Conan movie with Arnold and bring these films back to their former glory days. Here's hoping!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-49663062828536865762015-07-16T01:18:13.916-07:002015-07-16T01:18:13.916-07:00Yeah, I watched this last year. I actually thought...Yeah, I watched this last year. I actually thought Jason Momoa was a decent choice looks-wise but he had very little to do or say in the script (and they don't even introduce him until about 30 minutes in). The whole script just sucked.<br /><br />The one part I did enjoy was the young Conan part at the beginning - where he comes back to the village carrying loads of enemy heads. That was pretty awesome.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.com
