As far as him not being as big as Swartz.Mamoa looks way taller in "Game of Thrones" and he's pretty damn big.Strange without the goatee tho....as far as combat,he's always done a great job with melee in all his other stuff and thats prob a good sign! I hope it surprises everone...but u just can't tell from trailers....

I will give it a chance.Love real feeling detailed settings so I'm usually very skeptical of this type of movie.Had already judged it like some of you until I saw Jason Mamoa was Conan.Ronin from Stargate Atlantis was not my fav char but liked the show.Now I do like him in Game of Thrones as the Dothraki Horse Lord.Don't give a crap if he's pretty or not(what kinda dude notices that anyway)but the Ah-nuld steroid look wasn't realistic anyway.Think this works as long as the writing and acting doesn't suck like the old ones(no offence hard-cores,I enjoyed alot of bad goofy movies when I was 12)
