So I watched the new Conan movie last night....

Is it worse than Red Sonya?

Worse than Red Sonya. Worse than Barbarian Queen. Worse than Deathstalker.

Most importantly it was worse than even this movie in my opinion.

OP deserved it. Looked like crap from the commercials and rottentomatoes gives it a 22%. Spending money in theater on that is unforgivable. Barbaric, even.

Two of my coworkers were having a conversation yesterday about Jesse James and Sandra Bullock. One, the woman, said Jesse James was responsible for their breakup. The other, a man, said they were equally responsible. In his view she went into that relationship knowing full well that he was a piece of shit then everyone was surprised when he acted like a piece of shit. What's that have to do with Conan?

The ratio of nightmare-inducing, poke-out-your-eyes-with-a-teaspoon-bad remakes to good remakes is about 1,000:1. Everyone knows this. Yet everyone goes to every remake expecting it to rock harder than the original and is devastated when it sucks.

Anyone smart could have told you that Conan would suck. Yes, it is the writers', director's, actors' etc fault. But it is also your fault. People that pay to see Conan are like people that choose to live in Tornado Alley then get pissed when their double-wide gets blown away. They're like people who pay for $20,000,000 homes on a beachfront cliff then get pissed when erosion causes their house to go floating away. They're like B-list starlets who date Derek Jeter and think he's the one when his top-25 list of girlfriends doesn't have you on it.
