Sooooo..........Wolfenstein Peterson left "Batman versus Superman" for this??
No worries........it's excellent!!!
My thoughts on the Leads:
Brad Pitt - he's not exactly Russel Crow in "Gladiator" but he looks really, really good and it's believable that Achillies coulda looked like him, I suppose. (His fight scene's are worth the price of popcorn alone.......)
Eric Bana - since the Hulk sucked, if people don't know his name after this movie, something is wrong. He was great........just a killer performance. The rock of the picture. His character is clearly not as great as Achillies, but he portray's Hector as a stand up, honorable warrior.....man, a heck of a job!!
Orlando Bloom - reprising his role as Legolas, er....I mean, Will Turner.....oops....wrong again........This dude must seriously have the best job in the world. Play in 5 of the biggest grossing, most hyped films of the year for the past 4 years and always look good doing it. Honestly, I've seen OB in this role so much, I think that's how he is in real life......haha. All in all, he played his role well.....
This was a great way to spend an evening if you like epic action and larger-then-life characters. Enjoy!

yeah.........so, I just got done watching (or fast-fowarding through) Conan the Barbarian. Apparently this was the one that made A-nuld such a big star. I can't really see why, considering the fact that this was the worst B-movie I've ever seen. Naturally watching one of his movies isn't the same as watching Brando or Pacino, but man....what was the point of this picture?? if it was just sheer popcorn entertainment, I think I missed something...
Luckily James Earl Jones "saves" some of this piece with a few good lines of dialogue, but other then that, the action is cheesy, the blood is way over the top and ridiculous and the acting is....well, not really acting. There's not even what you might consider plot development. Just conan the quiet boy, conan the quiet man, conan the gladiator, conan the sex machine, conan the crucified, conan the executioner.....that's it ya'll....
So get some popcorn and have the fast-foward button handy, b/c you're going to be pushing this one through to the end so you can finish in time to watch leno.......play on playa...
