It is a great disappointment when a movie diector decides he or she can completely change a story from the way it was written. This sort of professional arrogance usually messes up the story and turns people away from the books. Conan the Barbarian as a movie portrays the big guy exactly the way you would imagine him. Conan was a foreigner, so Arnold's accent didn't get in the way here. There's action, blood, adventure, and a whole lot of excitement. You see Conan becoming a man and then hunting down the man who killed him family and slaughtered his village. Predictable story, but what a ride.
