Conan the Barbarian (2011) – This is a good looking film that starts off well, and it has all the blood and guts and bare bosoms you’d expect, plus some visceral energy (but why is Morgan Freeman the narrator?); it even has some flashes of brilliance, but as many or more flashes of terribleness; moreover, the dreadful dialogue, clichéd script, and utter lack of a cohesive narrative make it inexcusably generic. 5
