Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: In between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world. Then, came the dark empire of Acheron, where cruel Necromacers sought 'Secrets Of Resurrection'. They crafted a mask from the bones of kings, and awakened it's wrath with the pure blood of their daughters. The mask summoned spirits of unspeakable evil, giving them power that no mortal man should posses.
Narrator: Acheron ...

User Reviews

Great Action Movie!!

Not sure why this movie got such bad reviews, I just seen the movie and I thought it was great as did my wife. The 3-D was not really necessary and did blur the action sequences at times but no worse than other 3-D movies out now. I was very glad that the 3-D was not used to just put a bunch of 3-D effects in the movie for the sake of having 3-D, but yet more subtle; But the movie itself was great, I absolutely loved Leo Howard as young Conan, brilliant, and such a great character to play young Conan in appearance, he really looked like what Jason Momoa might have looked like as a young child. I thought the movie flowed well, fight scenes were awesome, choreography of the sword wielding was very nice, I was very pleased, hope it does well enough to continue the saga!!!! I thought it held up very well against the original, probably better and that's hard for me to say being such an Arnold fan, but I loved this Conan, and Jason Momoa does an excellent job. I was also pleased to see a good R rated movie, I'm getting a little tired of all the toned down PG-13 ratings, plenty of blood and guts in this one. For those who don't like remakes, you don't have to go see them
