...and a short review as someone at work has gone sick and I'm being forced to actually work!
Ok, it's not the original and has very little to do with it but it's an enjoyable romp with our new Conan (Jason Momoa from Stargate Atlantis and Game of Thrones) playing the Cimmerian with a penchant for aggression and hacking limbs off and his quest to revenge himself on Khalar Sym (Stephen Lang) for the death of his father and destruction of his village. Khalar wants to resurrect his dead wife with the help of his sorceress daughter, he needs to find the pieces of a mask and the blood of true blood who falls into Conan's hands.
The action is plentiful, good set pieces with a lot of fighting on the screen, great and bizarre costumes, weird bad guys and weirder dialogue but he's no Arnold but it's not that much of a problem, it's a popcorn movie that won't have you bothered about a sequel.
