one of the best viking movies

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2007)

I think this is one of the best viking movies, along with The Vikings and The Long Ships. It contained enough "sword and sorcery" content to be the best "Conan" movie that didn't have Conan in it. Also, if a reasonably accurate version of Marvel's "The Mighty Thor" was ever filmed, the actor who played Buliwyf would be perfect in the role--with a little more dialog coaching in English. The settings were realistic, the brave and wise "philosophy" of the vikings was well presented, the action/battle scenes were well done. It seems like a minimum of gratuitous special effects were used. This is a very good overlooked film in an overlooked genre. We need less Romans, Persians, Greeks, etc. More Norsemen!
