lol, i voted and then looked at the results! awesome!
 
Not built enough in my opinion, not when I think of Arnold in the role or just how Conan should look in the first place. It could still end up being a good movie, but right now this guy doesn't stand out to me.
 
I think he looks alright. It's sort of hard to tell from the picture if he's really built or not, I'd have to see a trailer.

Also I don't think it's fair to compare him to Arnold. When you do that people just let nostalgia creep in without judging the new person based their own merits.

The same thing happened when Heath Ledger played the Joker. Before people even seen him they were like "Jack is the best Joker ever!" After they seen Heath then they were like "They both did equally great jobs for the particular movies and era's that they were in!"
 
But you also have to admit that guys with muscles like Arnold belong more into the 80's. Today's action heroes are also athletic, but with less muscles.
 
Who knows this might even be better than the utter crap that was the original Conan movies.

Still won't see it though. I hate the 80s.
 
Good thing he got rid of the dreadlocks. A Conan with dreadlocks would look silly. I still can't say if he's better or worse than Arnold (haven't seen him play the role yet), but at least he looks like Conan right now.

& am I the only one who thinks that BB deserves a kick under his butt for making such a statement?

Who is going to play Thusula Doom??? No one can replace James Earl Jones as that villian...and will the riddle of steel be solved? Aside from that Crom, I am not going to see this movie, so da hell with you!
 
Am I supposed to vote based on that one pic? In that case...Arnold will always be Conan.

I was 15 and had already read all the books when that shit came out. Seeing that movie was fucking awesome!!!

:cool:
 

Ace Bandage

The one and only.
Arnold called and said, "I won't be back," thus this won't be worth seeing. It could be worse though. They could have used one of the Geico cavemen in the title role...

He certainly look the part, but being able to act the part is another story.
