Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Michael Ledo I was just commenting the other day, what the world really needs is a faux-Viking saga starring Dominic Purcell, a ballet dancer, and an oriental martial arts fighter. Eirick (Purcell) has been brought back from the dead by the goddess Freya (Tegan Moss). He is tasked by Frey (Jesse Moss) to travel to Hellheim to get a horn so he can defeat the evil Thor (Conan Stevens), sorry Avenger fans. Thor wields a huge molded plastic ax while wearing Emo dyed red hair speaking with a voice enhancer. Oh yes, he also hates Jesus, a plot point which made the film more inane.The film is about Eirick's quest which includes companions in this "Middle Earth Period". Some of the people speak modern English, while others prefer bad Renaissance English. Some fighters are endowed with anti-gravity fighting ability, other are less fortunate. There is also a Druid Priest who subs as a wizard (Patrick Murray) an oriental fighter (Jon Foo) and a ballet dancer (Natassia Malthe) who join the quest. Druids, Vikings: they're both old and lived somewhere in Europe, who would know they weren't the same especially after having a guy speaking Chinese. Our hairy Druid wizard has a walking stick with the large proverbial crystal on the end.The set was overly CG. I can't imagine how fake this would look in Blu-Ray. For a serious viewer, I would recommend watching this film on an analog TV to blur the fake looking CG effects. For those who watch for the cheese, digital is just fine especially that big monster head thing. The dialog and speeches given in the film closely resemble those of other famous films, particularly LOTR.The film is Asylum/ SyFy bad. But for those of us who like horrible anachronistic films, this one is worth a peek.Parental Guide: Viking F-bombs. Sex, side breast nudity. 10 stars for the cheese.
nemisis_0 I have always been into fantasy and i really enjoyed this movie. I was going into it expecting it to be a terrible movie but they actually did a good job with what they used and how they used it in the movie. I can't understand at all someone giving this movie a 1 out of a 10 saying it's the worst movie they seen. Who ever gives this a 1 hasn't seen a lot of movies, on top of that the few movies they have probably seen have been only Oscar winners and 300 million dollar budget Hollywood block busters. I could never call this a bad movie, I've seen 10's or thousands of movies and i can tell ya, I have seen some 1 out of 10 truly bad movies in my life time, but this one I give them credit for putting the work they put into it with what they had to make it into what looked like they were most shooting for. A wild viking fantasy with sword play, fighting and magic. Yes there are a hell of a lot better movies but i was pleasantly surprised and cheered me up on a sick night. You just have to accept it for what it is.
levidemorney bad comments on IMDb its easy to write, so this one is harder to do:This film served as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. There were a few times when the movie felt a bit drawn out, but the gorgeous action scenes and impressive dialog really held the audience's attention and kept them on the edge of their seats. However, the time line was a bit unclear at times. For a number of scenes, it was hard to tell whether it had been days or months or years that had passed since the last time a given character had been on screen. Despite the films minor shortcomings, Vikingdom is exciting, creative, and dark—and well worth a few hours of your time.now that how you write a Movie Review.grow up kids
Tudor Anghelina I have saw this movie and I think it is a good movie overall. I will not mention too much about visual effects just that the fighting scene blood effects looked a little cheap, but an aspect that can be easily overlooked. I am more impressed by a good storyline and good actors than visuals. I have seen movies labeled as BLOCKBUSTERS that where nothing more than bells and whistles. Even if this film has not the best visual effects, I personally liked the way the red color stood out. See Thor's hair and beard and the red clothing. It gave a "real" feel.I enjoyed the acting of all characters, except the guy who gets his eye popped out at the end. The character did not suited him, his voice lacked command. That guy should portray a king. He overacted in most of the scenes he has played.The story is a little interesting, I liked the twist the tale took when it turned out that the god that sent the protagonist into the land of the dead. However, everything happened too fast, and I think that is because of the script, which does not leave room for developing relationships between the characters, an important part in a movie or play.However, overlooking these little inadequacies, it is a good movie. I wish I could rate it higher, but I must keep some objectivity. It is a review after all.
