First it was the Clash of the Titans remake, now it's Conan the Barbarian's turn. Jason Momoa, of Game of Thrones fame, reprises the legendary barbarian's role in the new film.
Now I have to admit that I'm a huge fan of the old comics as well as the Schwarzenegger movies, but I'm just not sold on this remake. Momoa is less muscled than his Austrian predecessor and has more speaking lines, which is already a red flag. "When a barbarian feels thirst, it is a thirst for blood." That's already about 10 words too many when it comes to the silent Cimmerian. Robert E. Howard must be rolling in his grave.
At the very least, it will contain a healthy dose of violence and scantily clad women (and men, if that's your thing). Who knows, maybe Arnold will make a cameo as and yell "CROM!" one last time as he sags into the sunset.
