Most critics are wrong again!! This movie is GREAT!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 1999)

Not only did the showing we attended sell completely out, but everyone in our group (there were at least 25 of us all together!) LOVED this movie!! It was not just good, but actually WONDERFUL!! We can't recommend it highly enough! There was action, costumes, *gorgeous* vikings, and great "atmosphere" throughout the entire show!! Not a one of us thought afterward that there had been a dull moment the whole time!! The story was terrific, the sets were awesome, and the battles were exciting! I have read the book twice, and I thought this movie did a really FINE job of attempting to stay pretty close to it! They even actually "toned" down the troll part and made it more believable! Even the "monsters" were actually more "realistic" and believable than the book portrays them! I honestly was surprised at how well the movie followed the original story! For sheer pleasure and entertainment - this film is rated A+!! (A lot of us are even planning to go again right away!!)
Enjoy! I know we did, immensely!!
