pretty enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2011)

I'm positively surprised. But I want to react to some reviews which bear to consideration some of creators of this movie and their links to "comics" movies. This is not comics. And I believe, that people who don't know pre-Christian German mythology and never read at least some stories of Edda will not really understand. Story is surprisingly good and this is what I value. The choice of actors is questionable, especially Hopkins and Portman but it is question of personal taste maybe. If there was less Hollywood chliches and more work on details, it would be almost unforgettable. These flaws make this movie - I have to admit - some kind of comics - this is shame. But if you don't expect great piece of art it's very good pastime.
