Viking: La fureur des Dieux

Not necessarily in this movie - but in movies in general. The TV show Vikings made them .. famous and really worthwhile again. Also something to suck dry money wise. But this is a low budget offering that rides on that wave. If you are aware of that and maybe watch the trailer to be sure this floats your boat, you could be good (no puns intended I think).

I understand that many are anything but smitten by the output here, but a movie is a lot of work. And I may be a bit too soft concerning my rating, which happens now and again, but I do cut this some slack on behalf of its low budget and that it really has the best intentions in mind. Acting may not be the best and you can fault the movie in many respects (it feels way too modern, like people cosplaying/larping in the woods) ... but if you close your eyes ... I mean suspend your disbelief, maybe you can have some bit of entertainment here too

I am so glad I only spent $1.50 on Renting this B movie from Redbox. The acting is horrible. The only reason why I watched the movie for 20 minutes was the leading actress is very cute. Other than that the nothing noteworthy. If you live in Siberia or Alaska stuck inside side 1/2 the year maybe this might be one of the last movies You watch.

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

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!

I enjoyed most parts of this, good story line and an easy watch. The character of Cyneric was portrayed quite well and im not sure what other work he has done, but will definitely keep my eye out. However, i think the character of Sven could of been portrayed much better, it was almost awkward to watch. Perhaps someone of more experience and a more competent actor would of really brought this film to the next level. That said, good work guys, would recommend. The best part of the film was the scenery and as sad as that is to say, there is not much potential for a fair few of these actors. Im not stupid and wasn't expecting a big extravagant film, but this was really poor. Think majority will have to stick to the day job as acting isn't going to go far for them. However, i hope i am proved wrong.
