A potentially great film.

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2000)

This was a film that I enjoyed watching again and again. However, there were gaps in the storyline that were not explained entirely. Almost as if some scenes had been cut out. For example, the history behind the Wendol, or the background on the King's Son Wigliff and his dead brothers vs. Buliwyf, or why the movie ended so abruptly. Although this was based on a book, this movie had a lot of potential of being more than a good film. The humor, the action, the cinematography all went really well. It showed how barbarian (in a good sense) the Northmen/Viking types were. I have and will recommend this to others.
