The recently released incarnation of Conan the Barbarian was a dismal display of wooden acting, over-the-top heroism, and tensionless whoop-ass. It not only failed as a fantasy action film, it failed as a film at all. Conan floated from one scene to another to display various methods of killing while the supporting cast seemed so uncertain in their deliveries, I wonder if they were told what film they were in. The film's effects, while adequate, were hardly spectacular enough to over-compensate for the other failings. All of which compound a flimsy and plotless script.
