Conan The Barbarian Reboot: No, no thanks.



Well here it is, another trailer for a quick cash in on people's nostalgia.  Hollywood proves that it can take classics and ruin them for a new generation.  What the hell were they thinking, trying to top the governator's Conan The Barbarian, of all flicks.  Its the most cliche ridden pile of crap trailer I've seen in a while, and it stinks up to high heaven.

Take a minute and count all the cliche sound fx, laughably bad action scenes and for gods sake, look at 1:05...What the hell is that?  They took that awful jumping slash move that seems to be showing up in just about every fantasy movie as of late...and of all people, Conan hits his foe with the butt of his sword? Seriously, let that sink in...Conan the Cimmerian destroyer doing all that just to tap someone in the face with the butt of a sword instead of ripping him to pieces? I smell a $90,000,000 PG-13 turd.

  1. Yeah, going pg13 is a fatal stroke here.. The comics & books really deserve a solid R treatment for a film adaptation..

    Why are films even rated is they just nerf the fuck out of them until they're all pg13?
