Momoa looks a lot more like the Robert Howard description of Conan actually.

Howard is the author of the source material for the uncultured among you.

Both are dwarfed by Zyzz and Mighty Groink of course.

Should be a good bloodshed movie. No one can equal the Arnie version, though.

Nope, he doesn't. I've been a Robert E Howard fan since I was young, and read all of the original Conan stories, so I'm a bit biased.

Jason was  perfect as Khal Drogo in Game Of Thrones, but certainly not Conan. Not muscular enough. And Conan wasn't half Hawaiian, lol.

Arnold wasn't perfect either. The physique was there of course, but not tall enough. Conan was described as "nearly a giant". At least 6'5. And Conan had black hair, not brown.

The guy who played Boagrius that Brad Pitt killed at the beginning of Troy would make a PERFECT Conan, if you gave him long black hair and no beard. Or even the guy that played Thor wouldn't be bad, if you gave him black hair and a tan.

Don't know who comes up with the casting for this shit, but they're not doing a very good job...

So Louie should have taken the part?

As a matter of fact, yes, if he didn't have the speech impediment. At least visually, he would have made a better, more accurate portrayal.

his acting (Jason) is better than his physique. the story line is good, and the producers are into making money. they don't give a shit about comparing two Conans from two different lifetime.

He can't even hold down a 2min acting cameo on King of Queens... but if he was limited to talking like arnold was in the first Conan, then yes he could have been a conan too

jason looks to clean cut for conan.  this was the guy i was also thinking about, just a PURE brute with a dark batman type story line.

Canon should have been something like Dagonet.  The ice fight was EPIC

I think that's Nathan Jones - an Australian guy. I remember he got his arm broken in WSM.

Ralph Moeller was a surprisingly good Conan in the Conan the Adventurer series.

Btw, in REH's lore Conan was described as being big but not the biggest, there were mentions of much bigger creatures/giants, however no other character was described as stronger, more agile, dexterous or skilled with sword.

While the new movie looks decent, Momoa is still not a good choice for Conan.

  Jason Momoa played Ronon Dex in SGA(Stargate Atlantis), who was essentially a Conan in space who instead of fighting other barbarians fights life-sucking monsters called the Wraith. The role of thug seems to be what he was born to play.
