I like Howard, but I can't bring myself to like Arnold as an actor. Regardless, I can't muster much enthusiasm. Perhaps the previous versions of Conan have simply soured me on the idea that another film is a good idea.

I think I'd like to see Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser done in film instead, it doesn't have the baggage behind it.. and it's a marvellous series in its own right.
