I'd be fine with Apocalypto levels of violence. I really enjoyed Apocalypto.

computer combat games are where the ultimate sickest brutal explicit VIOLENCE lives and festers. >>>> WARNING ! nsf-anyone! Mortal Kombat X: All Fatalities [ and see Mortal Kombat XL, if you are not human ] [ if you can watch more than 5 minutes of this bloodiest sick gore, then you are never to be released from your asylum cell ! ] Stopped it after 6 or so minutes at the Johnny bit. Kind of fun in a dark way, for awhile, ridiculous too, is this what the kids are playing these days, no wonder so many people are f..ed in the head Seriously though, I like a good plot and story myself, ultra violence is fitting in a Conan movie, but it will not hide a lack of story telling and a good script.

That sort of violence gets boring pretty quickly unless there is a reason to care about the characters. Kemp is right, without a suitable plot and story this is just video violence masturbation.

The fight scenes in a Conan film should be carefully choreographed and fast-paced. The battle scene in Gladiator is a good example of this. Ridley Scott handled the depiction of blood and violence in this movie in a masterful way. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and at no time did I feel nauseated by the violence. I also enjoyed the film, "Conan the Barbarian". No violent gore, but entertaining. For me, the only drawback to this film is that it is too slowly paced and Arnold poses too much with his sword, and Milius poses too much with his sets and costumes. The musical score for this film is astounding. The film captures some of the atmosphere of Howard's Conan and the magazine, "Weird Tales". A great Conan film needs violent action, but it first and foremost needs a great story and characters that an audience cares about. As is Conan, story is king!
