Very good,thoughtful film

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2006)

I have watched this film approx 5 times and really enjoyed it.I thought the way Banderas learned a new language was quite novel.The story and subject were fresh,and I would like to see previous adventures of the Vikings brought to the screen.The brotherhood of the group of fighters was apparent early in the film,and I liked the almost book like/theatre like, chapters/acts that we were treated to.You quickly find yourself becoming attached to the very different characters, whom, on the whole all play vital roles in their ultimate goal to overthrow the growing evil mystical cult which threatens to engulf that part of the world. This film is on my must have list.
