    Hardly an original story, re: Hamlet, Conan the Barbarian, but with a seasoned cast which lured me. Decent references to Odin, Icelandic scenery, and social history, but not much more to say about it. Matinee fodder at best. Spoiler alert: blood and guts - literally. I'd like to hope this will be the last ancient/medieval sword and sorcery film made but don't hold your breath.

    I have no idea what the writers were thinking on this movie. I could have written a better script about Vikings myself & I have no experience. I just cannot forgive myself for asking my husband to waste 2 hours in that much pain. He was huffing & puffing along with me throughout the whole movie. I just wanted to ask for our money back for the pain & suffering until the end. Please “No” sequel please!!!

    One of the worst movies I've seen in years...and I see them all. Boring plot, horrible overacting. I can't imagine what they were thinking with this script. Don't waste your money on this.

    This is a phenomenal experience. A blood-soaked adaptation of Hamlet set in Viking times. Everything about it is beautiful and engrossing.

    Very unique movie. Brutal, dirty, barbaric, pagan. The supernatural stuff can be explained both ways: as real, or as visions and beliefs of the main character, so it is as real as he (or you) believe it is. People who know norse mythology only from stupid MCU will be confused. :D Definitely not for kids or people who can´t handle explicit violence.
