re: Review of Conan the Barbarian

I have yet to see the movie, but I had a couple of thoughts about it up front that I'll toss in:

When I first heard they were remaking Conan I was very skeptical. From the moment I saw Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones I thought he would make an incredible Conan. A few weeks later I saw the trailer and was sold.

I didn't like that they were advertising with modern "rock music" and I hope that didn't make it into the film. I'd much prefer an instrumental score similar to the original.

I remember watching the original Conan movies and thinking that they were great movies but just suffered from an overall lack of production value. Considering this seemed like a big production I can see how the new Conan could outshine the original in some ways.
