Anyone who craps on a movie on a message board should read that piece in its entirety and be ashamed of themselves.
....why? It's just a movie. If we pay money (god forbid 3D pricing) to see a movie that isn't good, why should we care what one person who worked on the film thinks about it's box office performance? But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Nice read. I'm sure he's just one of many involved with the production who feels this way. A lot of hard work goes into making movies like this. I'm certain that anyone who writes, produces, directs or even works as a door keeper on a movie never went in knowing this movie was going to be bad or be a flop. The least they can do is go in not really caring, which is not the vibe I got from reading a lot of interviews and articles.

Wow. This movie was crap. I don't know why Sean brought up his father taking 2nd place in a trumpet competition. If his dad performed as well as this new Conan movie did, he probably wouldn't have made it past the first day of audition because second place is not the as "massive disappointment", "dismal reviews", or "the worst case scenario for the conan series". And he says he made great improvements to the original script. I would love to see this script in it's original un-doctored form because nothing I watched could have been done worse. That stupid mask plot for instance. We can't let anyone have the pieces to the mask, you say? SMASH THE REMAINING PIECES INTO DUST AND SCATTER IT ACROSS.... ANYWHERE! Put it in a fire, eat it, or better yet, wash the dust down a river. Not that it made a difference since wearing the mask didn't do jack.
Sure, I'll give Sean a pat on the back for trying to make something like a new Conan movie work, but that won't stop me from bashing the film as it is.
