Reply to comment by Herne8 in Would Conan the Barbarian be so fondly remembered if Schwarzenegger hadn't become such a megastar? by Herne8
Well, yes. That's what happens when you adapt the one that started it all. It feels unoriginal compared to all the knock-offs. I saw similar complaints about the Northman this year.
But I also think it makes for a better movie. Conan is so much more well-rounded and better-written than anyone imitating him, because he was created as an actual character. The rest are one note clichés.
