I watched this for the first time and it was incredibly boring. The dialogue was Star Wars prequel level bad. The special effects looked like they were from the 1950s.

There is no plot to the film. Things just happen then the movie ends.

I liked the music and set/costume design, but that was about it.

Ahnold? Check
James Earl Jones in a mullet with bangs? Check
Violent swordplay? Check
Hot babes in little or no clothing? Also check

Go reflect for a while and try to determine the exact moment your estrogen count climbed to dangerous levels.

True, Conan starring Jason Mamoa is a terrible movie

Clearly, OP doesn't know what is best in life.

quote:

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.

Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

The script does meander and is sometimes ridiculous. The acting is anywhere from great to abysmal. The movie itself is bombastic to the point of self-mockery.

And yet... it is over-the-top awesome. Conan is the man all true men believe, deep down, that they could and would be, if the world were still a younger, wilder place. If you can't appreciate his grandeur, then maybe masculine, manly things simply aren't for you.

ETA: Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.

Yeah, the one with Aquaman sucked. You should watch the '80's one with Arnold. It's awesome... Wheel of Pain awesome!

I dream of the day when a badass LSU DE quotes this in a post-game interview.

"You knocked off #1 Alabama after a defensive shutout & an incredible 10 sack performance by the defense. What are the team goals for the rest of the season?"

"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"
