Seconded! I can't wait for this to come out here.
You're welcome guys Also Jason Momoa came to give an introduction and he seems like a cool guy.

I saw that at my bookstore a week or so back. Damnedest thing.
Quite frankly, though, anyone interested in the Robert E. Howard stories should get the Del Rey/Gollancz editions, as they're based on the manuscripts where available and are arranged in order of writing. I read that myself over the last few months and it was some good stuff.
The Playlist has a slating review of the movie. They call it "unbelievably awful":

I was going to ask the $68,000 question - how does this movie compare with the Ah-nold incarnations - but I think you answered it:
If the movie also gives a better sense of epic scope and grandeur of being transported to an amazing, magical world where it's an everyday occurrence for people to worship giant spider gods with ichor dripping from their foot-long fangs, or thieves to break into cavernous treasure-troves stocked with mountains of jewels and gold beyond the dreams of avarice, then that would be good to know as well.
Conan now has a personality, good.

I got an error message when I tried to go to the link.
^ Hm. Looks like they took it down.
Basically, the reviewer wrote that the direction is as bland and lifeless as Nispel's other movies (Pathfinder, Friday the 13th & Texas Chainsaw Remakes), the script is awful, and that Momoa is okay as a physical actor but terrible at delivering dialogue.

I think you may be disappointed in that respect. There's not really any background given about the gods or the history of the culture, and there aren't any mountains of jewels.
Maybe in passing but I can't recall it.
How could she not be?
Most definitely!
What about the score? Can it even begin to compare to the Poledouris score from the original movie?
