Enter an Age Undreamed of Conan the BarbarianConan the Barbarian (2011) is a fantasy movie based on the Conan mythology.
Synopsis: In the Hyborian Age, Conan (Jason Momoa), a fierce Cimmerian warrior begins a quest to hunt down Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang) who killed his father Corin (Ron Perlman) and his entire tribe many years ago.
Khalar Zym is a warlord who's trying to reunite pieces of the destroyed Mask of Acheron in order to revive his dead wife who was an evil sorceress and conquer Hyborea. To do so, Khalar Zym and his daughter Marique (Rose McGowan), who's also a sorceress need to find the pure blood descendant of the sorcerers of Acheron, Tamara (Rachel Nichols). A fierce battle soon follows and Conan is the only hope to stop Khalar Zym's evil plan.
Okay, this is a fantasy movie, one that has barbarians, warlords, battles, and witchcraft. Everyone fights everyone to death and there will be a hero who saves the day and a pretty heroine who takes your breath away.
I've heard a lot of negative comments about this movie but I'd say for such genre, this movie does favorably well in terms of entertaining special effects and action sequences. The storyline is pretty straightforward, the no-brainer type.
Don't compare this Conan with Arnold's Conan and you shall survive watching this movie. :)
