Arnold Schwarzenegger made Conan immortal in his 1982 movie where he portrayed the strong and hefty medieval hero. This movie is not a remake but uses the character of Conan in an entirely different story. Conan (Momoa) is a barbarian whose father was killed in the hands of Khalar Zym, a power-hungry warlord, when he was a child. Conan swears revenge and grows up to become a ruthless hero who fights for the justice of his people. Thousands of years ago a Mask was crafted by some sorcerers that gave the wearer immense dark power. The barbaric clans got together to destroy the mask and disperse its pieces in the far corners of the Earth so that no one may be able to rebuild it. Khalar Zym has managed to accumulate all the pieces and now need to find the descendant of the sorcerers of Achelon in whose veins the pure-blood still runs. Tamara (Nichols) is the last surviving member of this identity who is being hunted down by Khalar Zym. Conan would go to any levels to prevent Khalar from finding her and also aims to avenge his fathers death once and for all. A very typical hero movie is what you would find yourself watching. There is nothing very different, the usual villain who wants global control, a big-bodied invincible hero and the innocent and pretty damsel in distress. The action in the movie is one of its talking points, and although it gets a bit bloody, it still very enjoyable. A decent movie but to be watched only for the action.

Thumbs up : Good action

Thumbs down: Nothing different to offer from other such movies
