Watched the new "Conan" film last night. After a brutal opening half hour it settles down into a fairly standard fantasy film. It certainly feels closer to Robert E. Howard's original stories than the Arnie film but lacks the depth of the first films, "will to power", philosophy. That said, it's an enjoyable popcorn film with decent looking CGI blood flying all over the place and the geezer who plays Conan does most of his own stunts which look quite impressive.
