El legado vikingo

How I'm a deep fan from Viking culture and folklore which l had already exactly 8 titles in my collection from this fabulous Nordics, then I'd purchase this DVD without any previous reference, but around fifteen minutes l had realized it's a rubbish production, those fake fights almost in slow motion with any strength and realism, the plot is apocryphally lousy, the casting were so unskilled and didn't give any credibility to the characters, brand news props, a true careless production, between the takes in the same sequence is raining and the next take don't, well disappointed left to me keeping watching until the ending, was at stake my injured pride to caught in a trap with so many years as cinéphile, avoid it if possible!!!

Resume:

First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 3

I spent £4.49 on Virgin Media to watch this utter B rate of a movie. The acting and the script were atrocious. The "action" was totally boys own stuff and when the hero and heroine got on the "horse" it was absolutely laughable. They obviously couldn't afford a horse and they pretended to ride it, with only their shoulders seen and their hips moving, like something out of an old Errol Flynn movie. The part when the hero and his brother fought with their swords was laughable. It reminded me of a Monty Python sketch. I really don't know why producers and directors go to all the trouble of making these awful films, as after the first 20 minutes, I had to switch it over before I lost control and threw the telly out of the window!

Horrible just Horrible

It has some OK hack and slash scenes but that's about all you get plus after 20 min of it you get the feeling that someone decided to make a movie on a Sunday and then shot the movie on Monday and finished it by Tuesday

I don't see any Viking culture in this movie just some man with beards and swords a shame because the story could have resulted in a great movie

maybe 5 years ago people could get away with this but now are days with the hit Series,s Vikings playing ..people should make a better effort to at least make a movie that comes close to real Viking culture

Sooooo bad : they found onlu about five guys in furs to conquer a whole celtic state ; if a maiden waks behind their backs or if a guy ducks in fear they don't bother to react : on the beach you clearly see the light of spots illuminating the scene : a dead celt rises to kill a viking, and than he continues playing dead : i guess when they started tot shoot the movie 90 percent of the actors were on strike : nevertheless they carried on with the few actors they probably found in the nearrest pub

This film sucks and no one should watch it. There really is no reason to make this film, release it or worst of, charge people for it.

When you spend $100 making a film and charge people a normal admission/DVD/BR/rental fee compared to a $100m film, there's something off.

I don't know what the budget of this film is, but it's probably nothing. If you're curious as to know what kind of production this is, watch the trailer, or look at Tornado Films' website.

The question remains - how do you make a medieval/viking film with no money? The answer is simple, you don't. You just don't. Questions like "how do you build a house for $800 or a car for $200" should be avoided.

If you want to make a film with no money, set it in 2016 where you already have tons of 2016 stuff like clothes, music, furniture, cars, etc. If you want to make a film in 816, it's gonna cost ya.

There are ways of doing it cheap(er), but not with almost no money. "Battles" with 6 people look ridiculous. Cheap looking costumes always give Halloween vibes.

There are medieval reenactment hobbyists that go to the park on Sunday that have a more professional looking setup.

I'm guessing these guys did this thing for fun, but they shouldn't be selling it as if it were a real film. Put it on Youtube or Vimeo. I didn't pay for it (friend had the Blu- ray) and I still felt that it was a waste of time.

I really wonder how they'll recoup the costs of this production, but considering how little they put into it, it might just take a few dozen rentals.

I applaud the courage to go out and make a film. Everyone wants to do it, but not anyone can do it. But not everyone should either and not every tiny idea should become a film.
