Just perfect...

Best movie of this year hands down!

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

That's really all there is to know about this movie (only thing that's sad is that it deserves a negative rating but unfortunately isn't available).Unfortunately even IMDb makes reviewers write 10 lines. What can I say?Awful actingAwful scriptAwful special effectsWas there a director present?Any amount of money spent beyond 1$ to make this movie was an absolute waste of money. At least I did laugh a lot...

Heck, I enjoyed this. I thought it was very well written. I appreciated the fact that there wasn't a lot of that terrible video game style graphic effects which are nothing but eye candy and waste screen time. My only real complaints were the two leads, the guys playing Baldur and Thor. Neither could act a lick and Thor had a horrible haircut to boot. Surely they could have found somebody slightly heroic looking for the lead for crying out loud.I loved the misty, wintery setting. That really worked great for me, very atmospheric. There is something about mucking about in the cold and snow that is very appealing and visually striking. All three of the female leads were very sexy ladies. The bad girl had the greatest accent and man was she smoking hot! Having a black viking was a bit of a stretch but he was the best actor there by and large so it worked out OK. Shaving his head was smart too.This was old fashioned sword and sorcery and I enjoyed it. If the two leads had had a little on screen charisma and acting talent this would have really been something in my opinion. It held my interest all the way, for low budget...I felt very entertained. Go in with an open mind and you might also enjoy yourself!

I admit I wasn't expecting much considering SyFy's usual standard, but not in a couple of months have I seen a movie of theirs this bad. For instance it looks cheap, with costumes more reminiscent of fancy dress and settings that suffer from a lack of authenticity. The camera work and editing all feels very slipshod, the lack of quality in the effects suggest that those involved were more concerned about quantity instead of the other way around and the swordplay is clumsy and almost cartoon-ish. The script is cheesy with none of the lines of dialogue ringing true, the direction is sluggish and never feels sure about what it wants and the story is unexciting and predictable. The acting is terrible with the lead especially uncharismatic, but they are not helped by the underdeveloped walking clichés that are the characters. All in all, I have seen a lot of bad SyFy movies, but Hammer of the Gods is down there as one of the worst. 0/10 Bethany Cox

This film is not as bad as some people think, at least in my opinion. Sure it is no Multi-Million Dollar blockbuster, but that can be it's charm another reviewer likened this film to a high school production, I can safely say I know of no high school media student that would have the time and money to create a production such as this.the recreation of the Norse Village is pretty darn good, the costumes are well done, The story follows a retelling of the Mythic Lore, placing Thor, Freja, Heimedal, Baldur as Viking Warriors. all in all not a bad story line, unless you are expecting too much.. made for TV, fer better than if it had been made for Video Shop release.
