I watched him in Stargate and he wasn't exactly... entertaining to watch. I'm talking acting wise, I'm not into guys with long hair.
From Stargate to Conan the Barbarian

I've seen him in stargate as well. He was bland and boring. And like I said, he's no Conan.

I'll wait for the film before I judge his acting ability. So far, I'm getting the feeling he will be a decent Conan.
What bothers me, his physique does look a little on the soft side. Conan doesn't need to be massively muscled, but his physique should be ripped, personifying his savage barbarian heritage.

I don't even see him being a decent Conan. He looks nothing at all like the part he is supposed to be playing.

A few more of Momoa as Conan.

First look at the new CONAN

Well, as a rabid REH fan, I am torn. I know from the early plot synopsis that this is basically a re-do of the first Schwarzenegger film, having Conan trying to seek revenge for the destruction of his people. Which could be ok, but I would MUCH rather see something closer to the original stories. For ****'s sake, there are TONS of Conan stories that would make great movies.
On the other hand, director Marcus Nispel does make a good historical action flick. I thoroughly enjoyed Pathfinder. And Momoa at least does LOOK the part alot more than Ah-nold did. It's just that, as a Conan fan, I think they should take it in a completely new direction from Ah-nold's Conan, rather than having the same basic story. I mean, the Cimmerians are alive and well in the comics/stories. Conan left because he was bored and wanted to see all the amazing sights his grandfather told him about.
I dunno, I will definitely give this a shot, and I am sure it will be fairly kickass, I just wish it would be closer to Howard's stories, rather than another revenge flick. I dunno. Just my two cents.

About time that he shaved all his beard off! He's looking very handsome and looking forward to see it!
