Captured the feel? I cannot possible disagree more.  I thoroughly enjoyed
the movie, don't get me wrong.  But it was just a mosaic of scenes cut from
about 10 different Conan novels, primarily the follow-up novels by Lin
Carter and L. Sprague deCamp.  There were certainly portions that were
loyal.  But Conan was no-where near as nice a guy as Arnold portrayed.   And
that whole Thulsa-Doom hippie
thing was embarrassing as hell!  ;)

I would like to see them create a movie based on Robert Howard's
Hour of the Dragon.  But use an unknown for the lead.  Someone a little more
feral than Arnold.
