Well made and entertaining film

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 1999)

Despite the bad reviews by critics, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's a well made film with plenty of action and suspense. The only thing that I found to be lacking was drama. You never really feel yourself being pulled emotionally into the movie, but that's my only complaint. It still manages to be highly entertaining. I loved the way the film was set in the time of the Vikings. This is an era largely ignored by Hollywood so it was interesting to see how they lived and fought. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
