Viking: La fureur des Dieux

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.

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.

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

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 think it is enough said I have registered to document it. Maybe its production costs 23 $ or something. Really awful movie with around 10 actors .. can you imagine wars and battles done between 6 or 7 poor men. I do not know whose idea was this to have a big achievement in such failure. Maybe some actors was not too bad but still sharing in this miserable production. If you've got some extra boredom time but welling to spend some more boring time .. it is your choice then .>> if you have this decision make sure you are not suffering from heart diseases. I am suffering more now while spending time trying to help potential watchers figuring it out. from my heart I wish James Cooke, Hollie Burrows and Abbie Hirst .. please try to choose what you are doing .. you have a good seed .. do not kill it
