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.

This is one of those movies that can be truly classed as "so bad it's good". It's nowhere near the level of a masterpiece like The Room, but this movie is so atrociously made that it is truly comical. Almost every aspect is either cringeworthy or hilarious. A terrible movie, but a must-watch.

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.

This movie is so awful, that I'm too lazy to explain why. Do not watch it, waste of time. I watched it with my 12 y.o. son, and even he was disappointed. Everything looks so fake that it makes you sick. Spent 15.000.000 $ ? This makes me feel even worse. Some of the main things which made me sick:A Viking movie and Thor is a bad character? I'm sorry, but I come from the land of Vikings, and in this case I assume that in Malaysia they believe in Justinbieberism or some other crap.Some Asian kung-fu guy walking around in Scandinavian villages? It is nowadays so, but certainly not in those times.And I would like to ask the producers to sell me the paper suits of Frey and Freyja, they look exactly the same my daughters wear in kindergarten's's New Years play, and that plastic Thor's hammer would be a good toy for my 2 years old boy. And please , pretty please, never make another movie spending 15 millions. Send that money to me.
