I love this movie so much
Sick Product of a Sick System
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
This movie was downright awesome, just AWESOM! I had low expectations, but man this movie was really good.I am a guy who rates movies slightly differently. I try to take it into context what it is, the budget and I like action movies with good plot thrown in.This movie is made for guys who like Lord of the Rings, and movies about vikings and adventure. The adventure being can they survive being hunted by the king.This is what I call a man's movie. Guys who love action films will love this. The characters are likable, and given the budget, some of the acting and stunts pulled off were pretty good.THe movie made characters likable which is important, so in the end you are pulling for them to make it.I am not sure if their is a sequel or if their is meant to be one, but this is must watch MOVIE.I give this a 9.5 out of 10. Pleasantly surprised.
So if your an Amon Amarth fan like me and you really wanted to see Johan Hegg kick some ass, well just go watch them live, because he is in this movie for all of about 5 minutes. Was a very predictable movie with so many plot holes and editing goofs it was comical in a bad way. This movie made the 13th Warrior look like Sparticus. The cgi was corny, Jason Stackhouse had no charm in this at all, the cast was for the most part very dull other then Darrell D'Silva and Ken Duken. The beginning of the Vikings clones has started, which is too bad because the lore and culture of the Norse is so vast. I would love to see some kind of fantasy movie based on the Sagas or the Old Gods. Until then I will just have to wait for the next season of Vikings and go play some more Skyrim.
What to say? Holy crap what a shitty movie this is. Wasted almost 2 hours of my life on this awful movie. Everything was wrong. These renegades hired by the king to hunt them down, pathetic gang. They ran into fights with these northmen and the northmen killed them one by one but there was a steady flow of these renegades pouring out from the forest!!! Where in the flying f... did they come from? It went from dark night into sunny morning in a blink of an eye. One of the northmen fell 1000!! meters down, and guess what? he returned later unharmed ready to fight. In the end the viking leader dived 200 meters in a ferocious ocean and suddenly appeared with a boat!! This is just some of the flaws in this utter garbage of a movie. STAY AWAY!
I love Vikings (the ancient Scandinavian seafarers and the TV series alike ) so I couldn't miss this one. And I was seriously afraid that this could be a major delusion but it was not!On the contrary: starting from the very beginning when they wake up on Scottish coast, the images, the locations (really amazing), the characters, the fightings and the story completely caught me.Of course it is not a masterpiece. Conall (the monk played by Ryan Kwanten) couldn't help but remind of Athelstan, the plot is far from unpredictable and Darrel D'Silva (Gunnar) kills too many enemies for his age But Ed Skrein once more (have you seen Ill Manors?) is a wonderful bad guy and finds his match in Anatole Taubman as (a great) supporting villain. What more to say? Tom Hopper biceps are mesmerizing, Charlie Murphy is pretty and if you like Vikings you won't be disappointed.
