In the 2011 version of Conan the Barbarian, we are introduced to a young boy named Conan who is born on a battlefield to a mother who dies in childbirth. Raised by his blacksmith father, Conan grows up to be a fierce warrior and skilled fighter. As a young man, Conan sets out on a quest to avenge the death of his father at the hands of a brutal warlord named Khalar Zym. Along the way, he encounters a number of allies and enemies, including the beautiful sorceress Marique and the fierce warrior Tamara.

One of the standout performances in the movie is from Jason Momoa, who portrays Conan with a raw intensity and physicality. He is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, but also has moments of vulnerability and emotion that make him a nuanced and compelling character.

The supporting cast is also impressive, with Ron Perlman playing Conan's father and providing some of the movie's most memorable scenes. Rose McGowan is also excellent as the villainous Marique, who is both menacing and alluring in equal measure.

There are plenty of action-packed set pieces throughout the movie, with Conan engaging in sword fights, horseback chases, and battles against supernatural beings. The visuals are impressive, with the movie's gritty and brutal aesthetic perfectly capturing the harshness of the barbarian world.

Despite the emphasis on action and violence, there are also moments of humor and wit that lighten the tone of the movie. Conan is a character who doesn't take himself too seriously, and there are some genuinely funny moments that help to break up the more intense scenes.

One area where the movie falls short is in its storytelling. Although the basic plot is engaging enough, the script lacks depth and nuance, and some of the characters feel underdeveloped. The pacing can also be uneven at times, with certain scenes feeling rushed or dragged out.

Overall, Conan the Barbarian is a fun and entertaining action movie that delivers on its promise of sword fights, battles, and bloodshed. Although it may not go down as a classic of the genre, it is a solid entry that will satisfy fans of fantasy and action alike.

Conan the Barbarian is a 2011 adventure movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 53 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1 and a MetaScore of 36.
