- Conan The Barbarian
The most legendary Barbarian of all time is back this Summer. Having
thrived and evolved for eight consecutive decades in the public
imagination - in prose and graphics, on the big screen and small, in
games and properties of all kinds- Conan's exploits in the Hyborian Age
now come alive like never before in a colossal 3D action-adventure film.
A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian
warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific
monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of
saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of
supernatural evil.
Deftly adapted from the original works of Robert E. Howard and faithful
to the mythology and psychology of his iconic character, "Conan the
Barbarian" stars Jason Momoa, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang, Rose
McGowan, Said Taghmaoui and Ron Perlman. The film is directed by Marcus
Nispel, and written by Thomas Dean Donnelly & Joshua Oppenheimer and
Sean Hood.
“I live, I love, I slay – I am content!” states the barbarous Conan halfway through Marcus Nispel’s sword-and-sorcery actioner.
Those familiar with the 1982 version are unlikely to feel likewise after this tiresome reboot, a dull and desultory affair that’ll leave you feeling as cheated as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s missus.
Having previously devalued the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday The 13th series, Nispel hardly has the best rep when it comes to resuscitating moribund franchises.
Quelle surprise, then, that he makes a hash of this one, the German director missing not only the camp grandeur of John Milius’ original but also the vigour of 300, a film he clearly set out to emulate.
There’s no shortage of blood here, the levels of arterial splatter being established early by a forest scrap that ends with the young Conan (Leo Howard) dropping four severed heads at the feet of proud pop Ron Perlman.
Long before the lad has grown up to be Baywatch beefcake Jason Momoa, though, the carnage has become monotonously predictable.
There’s only so many ways to run a man through while charging at him on horseback.
Things liven up a little with the introduction of bad guy Khalar Zym (Avatar’s Stephen Lang) and his daughter Marique (Rose McGowan), a witch with Krueger-like blades on her pinkies and Elizabeth I’s hairline.
Even by genre standards, alas, their crazy quest – to bring Mrs Zym back from Hades with the aid of an old mask and ‘Pureblood’ Rachel Nichols – is a torturous one that, coupled with Conan’s plan to avenge Perlman’s murder, makes for a plot more swollen than its leading man’s pectorals.
Momoa is no Arnie. He’s no Rock either. In fact he’s nothing much at all: an anonymous, characterless hunk who’s outclassed even by the computer-generated sand mummies he’s called upon to vanquish.
Conan, we’re informed, has “the heart of a lion” and “the loyalty of a bloodhound”. They forgot “personality of a tree”.
Verdict:
If
swords, sorcery, pecs and FX get your bloodlust pumping, there’s
fleeting fun to be had. But mostly this Conan puts the bore in Hyboria.
