perhaps people who be fan of the hercules or xena or queen of sword line of tv show will be able to sit through this . i only do to see if there be any way the movie would redeem itself . it do not . my first complaint be simply that the screenwriter or director or producer seem to think they be good storyteller than r. e. howard they aren not . howard be a legend from the pulp era and and any of his character and setting can stand alone without modern tinker for plot . my second complaint be in the dialogue and the execution of the dialogue . no one involve in make this movie seem to have heard of have their actor deliver their line with any sort of cadence . they all sound like bored airline ticket agent . the character also all speak in a modern dialect and with contraction and word that would have no place in 20 and 000 bc . even the opening voice over be lousy . in this they follow in the footstep of the tv show and which also take bad teen melodrama dialogue into the sword and sorcery genre .
