I was (more or less) coerced into watching Conan last Friday. I had expected to be totally insulted by the movie, and I was pleasantly surprised. On a scale of 1-10 in complexity, it rates about 1.5, but on an entertainment scale, it rates about 5.5, which is better than most. As far as the sex and gore, it had some (but less than expected) of either. It was not in the horror movie genre, with blood strewn over the set, as a metter of fact, the dead people seemed to be almost neat about bleeding off camera (most of the time). There were several decapitations, but the effect was (swing) thump! There was only one visible decapitation, and that was of the baddie, at the end. It could have been a LOT worse. If you like adventure/D&D/fantasy, you might take the time (and $$) If not, see Victor/Victoria instead.(Great movie)
