That is NICE!!!!

 

[Spideyfan93]

Oh no.

I didn't give 20,000,000 cow ****s about this movie. After looking at that awesomeness, I WANT A TRAILER! This looks like it could surprise people.

BAD ASS!

 

[Rowsdower!]

That is pretty awesome.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Pretty badass poster.

Just moved up a couple of slots on my anticipation list.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Whatever. I still have my reservations.

[Spideyfan93]

Wow!

 

[x-fan]

Looking better and better

 

[Iron_Stark]

Damn!

 

[ChickenScratch]

Sweeeeet

Yeah, Mamoa looks great as Conan, but I am not sure about the look of those two other guys, who I assume are baddies. They look like they might take a walk into 'Chronicles Of Riddick' territory with the overdone armour, but hopefully not.
After tanking through lots of SSoC comics last year, I would say this is my most anticipated movie of this year, although I think X-Men, or perhaps Cap America, could be the best sh/action adventure flicks this year. The reason I am looking forward to this one most is because I am just really interested to see if they have captured the character I have read in the REH adapted comics.

This movie is just looking more and more fantastic!

I just love the look of that big ogre-like character(Nathan Jones)!! He looks like a John Buscema drawing come to life!!

Yeah, you are right, he does, heh. I just hope the design of the armour, and y'know, the design of the world itself is not too ott. It was mainly the other guy's armour that reminded me of CoR a little.

I don't like how they have new Arnie below his pic though.

Why would you not like that? Arnie was easily one of - if not the - greatest action stars of all time. That is an undeserved (to date anyway) compliment to Momoa - look at the positive.

I'd rather it said the new Conan. Arnold was great but I want Mamoa to be better in this role, and not try to be the new Arnie

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, the character should always be bigger than the actor, and Conan is a pretty big character.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Looks cool but Conan just isn't the same if he's not wearing a leather Speedo.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, if by not the same you mean 'not the same awful bastardised version of the original source material'

 

[rogue trooper]

I think it's also very encouraging to hear(or read) that Nispel cites "Apocalypto" as an influence on this film. By that, I presume he is going to make the violence/action as authentic and as brutal as possible.

 

[Shon]

Do you not realize that the writers of this movie are basically copying the Arnold film and not following the source material?

The tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I know it's an original story, but visually (which is all we have to go on now, isn't it) it already looks loads more faithful than the Arnie ones ever did, and they're already talking about a sequel based on a REH story. What's your point?

I agree, they made this movie more for general movie audience. Maybe in twenty years we'll get another shot at it.

The killing of his father and the village slaughter will be just about the only thing in common with th 82' film. How Conan goes on through life after the slaughter will be a different route from the original film, I believe.

Yes, this film is more a pastiche, but one that will be more faithful in spirit to Howard than Milius was.
