Nameja gredzens

While not a great movie, it was entertaining and fun to watch. At times, it reminded me of vikings, at other times, it was The Princess Bride.

In many scenes, the acting was over the top.

Not just a simple low budget sword movie...very well done. Great photography... The actor who played the villian (Max) gave him very sinister, sneering personality....I felt a lot of animosity toward him right from the start. He played the lying , backstabbing part very well. Rest of cast did great job too.

I must admit I didn't come into this one with huge expectations. I didn't know the main actor outside of recognising him from Eddie The Eagle and a small part in Vikings. At first glance he doesn't seem like the type of actor that could lead a film like this but when you watch the movie it makes sense for his character. Actually the more I watched this movie the more I liked it. It's beautifully shot, the score has that epic feel, the battle scenes are all well choreographed. A really good effort all round and well worth a watch.

Namejs was a Latvian Duke in the 1200s who fought against the Livonian Order. The movie was interesting and had good action, but is only remotely related to historical events. The invaders in the film used a cast of dozens instead of 14,000 crusaders with war machines. The bad guy "Max" should get more roles as a villain.

Good movie! Movies isn't correct history, but it gives a look on freedom fight of my nation's. Finally it takes 700 years and only 100 years ago we can establish our own country and also after we have so much trouble but now we are free and I hope Namey's and another heroes fight makes a sence to get a freedom.
