A Simply Barbaric Movie: Conan the Barbarian (2011)

    If you are one of the few individuals who admire a movie for the display of violence and naked women, I will still advise for you to avoid seeing Conan the Barbarian (2011). Starring Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones), Ron Perlman (various terrible film credits), and Rose McGowan (Charmed), Conan the Barbarian is a boorish film about a man's quest for revenge. There really isn't any need for me to elaborate beyond vengeance, because the movie isn't worth the time it takes for me to formulate a synopsis that will differ from all the other blogs out there.
    Amazingly, director Marcus Nispel managed to rope Morgan Freeman into lending his legendary voice as the narrator of the film. Unfortunately, his voice lends nothing to this violent and inane remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger's  Conan The Barbarian (1982) classic. As a fan of Rose McGowan I have to concede that I has high expectations for her, but even she could outwit the what must have only been a paycheck movie for her.
    Lastly, it is movies like this one that give 3D such a bad reputation. Whoever decided to convert this festival of testosterone and violence into 3D should be chastised for their lack of chagrin. Poor films like this one should never be made, let alone released in 3D in hopes of further pillaging the wallets of people struggling in an economic recession.
