Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

davidheffernan-34594 Awful film, terrible acting, every acting cliché you would associate with action films is used and badly at that. Whilst films of this genre can be enjoyable without any factual basis, a good story line is required to provide the entertainment. The story in this film is very basic and seems to consist of creating opportunities for the villains to act really evil or the heroes to make silly monologues about their past or how they should have died in a recent battle (they also stare into space for speeches). You won't believe the conviction of the actors at all....the acting really is awful. I would have liked to mention that there was at least one good point, but honestly I can't think of one, the special effects are limited to one scene, the fight scenes are bizarre, maybe one good point, there is a spectacular scene at the very end of the film of coastal cliffs and rough seas.

tattooed_vinny So if your an Amon Amarth fan like me and you really wanted to see Johan Hegg kick some ass, well just go watch them live, because he is in this movie for all of about 5 minutes. Was a very predictable movie with so many plot holes and editing goofs it was comical in a bad way. This movie made the 13th Warrior look like Sparticus. The cgi was corny, Jason Stackhouse had no charm in this at all, the cast was for the most part very dull other then Darrell D'Silva and Ken Duken. The beginning of the Vikings clones has started, which is too bad because the lore and culture of the Norse is so vast. I would love to see some kind of fantasy movie based on the Sagas or the Old Gods. Until then I will just have to wait for the next season of Vikings and go play some more Skyrim.

Hellmant 'NORTHMEN: A VIKING SAGA': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A Viking action flick, about vikings trapped in enemy territory, directed by Claudio Fah (who also helmed the direct to video sequels 'HOLLOW MAN 2' and 'SNIPER: RELOADED') and written by Mattias Bauer and Bastian Zach (who also wrote the Swiss B movie horror flick 'ONE WAY TRIP 3D'). The film stars Tom Hopper, Ed Skrein, Charlie Murphy, Ryan Kwanten, James Norton, Ken Duken, Anatole Tubman, Johan Hegg, Leo Gregory and others. I thought it was entertaining enough, to pass the time with, but nothing special or memorable. The film tells the story of a group of vikings, who become stranded in unfamiliar territory; when their boat crashes, on the coast of Alba in a horrific storm. They're pursued by mercenaries, sent after them by the King of Alba, as they try to make their way to a Viking settlement. They also, unintentionally, kidnap the King's daughter (Murphy). Things become very violent, quickly. The movie has some cool action scenes; especially considering the budget, and weak storyline. The performances aren't bad either; the directing is decent and the film looks great. If Fah had just had a better script to work with (I blame Bauer and Zach), this could have been a thrilling action flick. I really wanted to like the characters, thanks to the actors, but had no reason to. I also could not get into the story, or what was going on at all, despite cool fight scenes and decent thrills. There's definitely reasons to like things about this film; but it's mostly a miss and mediocre.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/5_iFqdaycDM

Claudio Carvalho During a storm, a Viking vessel sinks and the survivors are stranded on the coast of Scotland. They climb a cliff and are attacked by an army; however they defeat the enemy but one of them escapes. They find a noble woman, Inghean (Charlie Murphy), and the leader of the Vikings Asbjorn (Tom Hopper) decides to keep her to get a ransom to go to the Viking settlement Danelagh. They stumble with the Christian monk Conall (Ryan Kwanten) that helps them. Meanwhile the escapee reaches his kingdom and the king sends a group of cruel mercenaries under the command of Hjorr (Ed Skrein) and his henchman Bovarr (Anatole Taubman) to hunt the Vikings down. But Hjorr and Bovarr actually intend to kill Inghean and when they reach the Vikings, Inghean learns the true intention of Hjorr and feels that her only chance to survive is to team up with Asbjorn and his warriors."Northmen - A Viking Saga" is a highly entertaining adventure, with a full of action story, charismatic characters and great villains. The direction is tight, the cast has good performance and the fight choreography, locations, costumes, and special effects are excellent. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Northmen - A Viking Saga"
