Spoiler alert : Do NOT scroll down if you do not wish to be "spoiled"
Conan the Barbarian. Hmm. These 3 words may make you think only of a few things. 1.) Barbarian. 2.) Hunk. 3.) Hunk that has boobs. =.= (Influenced from a very good friend of mine). 4.) Back to barbarian. Also, maybe for many of us, we might think that the term "Barbarian" may only refer to.... guys who talk really loudly, act roughly, eats like a pig and party non stop. Actually, in the movie, it's that way too. Haha.
I guess the concentration normally is only on the man with boobs...... hmm...
Synopsis :
Conan was born during the brink of the war. Maybe because of that, his nature was vicious, although he has a good heart. As the son of the leader for Barbarian type, he did not let his father down. At a young age, he can kill a few hunters from the enemies alone. Due to the kill of hunters, the tribe leader seeks revenge... and also to collect a piece of "the mask" to revive an aggressive power in order to conquer the rest of Hyboria. Conan's father was killed by Khalar Zym... and Conan sworn to seek for revenge.

Review of the movie :
Other than wanting to watch super hot Jason Momoa.. (I hate his family name), I thought that the show would not be.. interesting. Apparently, it was quite gory but a lot of scenes are cut in Malaysia. I would say that the movie was alright, the fighting parts were really interesting, unlike Transformers 3, that made me fell asleep. I never expected that sorcery would be a part of the movie. I didn't read the synopsis beforehand, it's just that I thought the movie SHOULD be nice. Haha. The storyline is pretty predictable, all ancient shows are like that I guess. You kill my tribe, I kill yours. It would be a good watch in the cinema because of the action that it has to offer. Intense storyline? I think not. Not really sure if Conan is supposed to be the hero or somewhat other than that because he had been killing and killing, just anybody would do. Doesn't hero save people more than they kill? Instead he seeks for revenge. Personally, I didn't think he give a damn about Khalar having the mask to conquer the world. All Conan wants is to have Khalar's head so that he would feel better about his father's death. That wouldn't help, would it? The ending of the movie was so........ omg stupid. Tamara (The pure blood descendant of a sorcerer tribe) was left alone by Conan after having.. intimate relationships with her, just because she has to fulfill a small duty to her homeland. Conan, you had already seek for your revenge, can't you just wait for her for that tad bit? You don't have anything else on your hands, do you?
