Blackman didn't just select in order to prevent clutter in the script- he selected for the gratuitous and missed out on the entire core of FGD in the process. What he boiled down is, indeed, in the story. But that is NOT the story. FGD is a classic mythological journey, invokes past myths as mentioned and brings us face to face with magic and epic mythic story telling. To ixnay the opening fight with Heimdul, change the head trauma to a sword in the gut...this needs a decent defense. Sadly, it was because Mr. Blackman thought he could establish a 'cool' shot. Weak. Weaker still was his defense that he was an artist, so leave off with the criticisms of his decisions. That, is weakER. Barbarian- let’s come off this horse.

Weak.

That, is weakER.

I am a fantasy artist(painter) and in similar aspects you can only pick certain elements to put in the illustration you cant have it all .Sorry that's just the way it is if you try to put in everything you wind up jumbled mess of crap. so I can be honest when I say I thought it was a good start.

Please, Mr. Blackman, read this crtique and learn from it. If the new movie is to be worthwhile, the stupid, uninteresting and boring conan of the earlier movies must be thrown aside entirely in favor of the real article. How those pictures could have gotten the character so stunningly wrong--and made a silk purse into a pig's ear--has always mystified me. Well said!
