Jason Momoa plays the titular Conan, tagging the role from Arnold Schwarzenegger. He sets out on a vengeance mission when his father and tribe is killed.

On his way, he meets the warlord responsible for all the destruction.

Highlights? Rose McGowan is near unrecognisable as a deathly-pale witch with impressive sand-conjuring powers, while Stephen Lang’s looking bad-ass as a scarred, Middle Eastern warlord.

The mix of old school set-building and in-camera atmosphere with CGI creatures should also be pretty effective.0

For now, though, Conan’s looking more cheesy fun in a ‘we know it’s awful but we love it anyway’ way, rather than something genuinely entertaining.

Conan The Barbarian opens in 3D on 26 August.
