In Topic: Conan The Barbarian (1982) - Appreciations & Criticisms

So you guys are assuming that if the new movie sucks, then the blame is all on CTB? Isn't that a bit harsh? I mean, shouldn't the producers, writers and director of a new movie know better? Shouldn't they do their research?
In my opinion, CTB is no B-movie. Milius injected it with lots of symbolism and deeper philosophical meanings, which elevate the movie above all other "barbarian" movies. Indeed, CTB was not true to the writings of REH, but personally I have yet to see a better S & S movie...



I agree. CtB was my introduction to Conan. After watching the film on HBO when I was a teen, I went out and bought REH Conan novels. I have yet to see a better S&S movie. Is CtB true to REH? No, but it's still a great film. Can't wait for it on bluray.

What about other smartphones? Droid?


An Android version would be appreciated as well considering that Android devices are outselling the iPhone.
