Conan the Barbarian

How do you fill the furry boots of Arnold Schwarzenegger? Well pretty much like this. This is everything that the original films are without quite so much cheese, Conan cheese light if you will! There is plenty of action throughout it has a much more real feel about it, very similar in style to Game of Thrones. Conan is everything you would want him to be, tough, uncompromising, vicious and righteous. I really enjoyed this film and whilst it would appear I am in the minority I would love to see them make more films like this, Conan or not.

I do love a good fantasy adventure.

Film 312/365, Day 334/365 – G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra

Some action but very little story.  This film is so desperate to be Star Wars that I almost started to feel sorry for it.  It is also a feature length advert with all of the main characters with their action figure names and flash vehicles and armour, shameless.  Some of the accents are beyond ridiculous, especially the British ones!

Synopsis:  A convoy carrying a dangerous weapon is attacked by a mysterious military team and whilst they are unsuccessful in stealing the weapon it’s just the start of things.  Soon the secret military G.I. Joe will be going head to head with the mysterious Cobra terrorists.
