Viking Blood

Well. I was thinking about this as I went to the loo...how really awful it is. But then I thought....really, the people probably DD live in ramshackle little villages. They probably DID fall out with the people who lived over the hill. They probably DIDNT have a whole lot to say to each other and when they did, I might have been just as lame. They probably DID look as dirty.

Then I realised the lead was playing the villages off against each other and it is a Viking remake of Clint Eastwood's famous spaghetti Western. Is it Tgbau, or is it "A Fistful of Dollars"?

That made it a slightly better film, as at least there was a semblance of a plot - to copy the plot of another movie. Because otherwise, it didn't make any sense at all. Really.

Usually there is pretty scenery or something to make up for it. There wasn't.

I couldn't stop myself laughing from the very first moment the main character and his ridiculous haircut appeared on the screen. An iconic brutal viking figure that's gonna haunt me in my most terrible nightmares for sure.

I watched the movie which lasted almost 2 hours and I was curious enough to check it's ratings. By the time I read the 10/10 rating that 1-2 people reviewed with, I was kinda confused whether or not we watched the same movie. It was a bad movie, I feel like I wasted my time. There was nothing impressive to it. Some of the actors were decent, the rest of them felt like they were paying to actually be in the movie.

If you are up for an amateurish Viking flick with decent norse theme, this is the movie for you. When the lone hero does his thing some other dudes tries to do theirs. Costumes is decent (armour not so much though It would work in a reenactment society wich it probably origins from). The story is slow, built by a slow storyteller and he has a hard time convincing me to listen. The actors are quite good but the obviously lack directions. Music and sound is decent, but the dubbing has its flaws. I would only recomend this movie to someone who are binging Viking movies. Otherwise, walk away!

It is a good film, enjoyable to watch. However, the story is extremely close to the one of the Sergio Leone's film '' A fistful of dollars. "It must be remembered that Sergio Leone himself had drawn the story of his film from a previous work by Akira Kurosawa.
