Bleargh.īut for me in my opinion its just to little of everything there is non to little real viking culture to be seen in this movie plus they should have done more with the characters THE PRIEST is a great one but they could have done much more with him the daughter of the king was also a great character all of the actors lived up to their roles they did a great job playing their role but the story just misses depth it has nice fighting scenes the sword fights where great you could clearly see that they TRAINED with people who know what they where doing and studied or practiced the art for them self's also the locations used in this movie where great in the end its way better that the handful of viking movies made the last 5 years or so it does not have fake clothing such as horns on their heads and purple hair and other ridiculous stuff they really tried to paint as real of a picture as possible But in the end it just misses depth its to little of everything the characters where not exploited enough. If you have nothing else to do, well, watch it.there are swords, a bunch of guys get gruesomely killed and the pretty boy gets the pretty girl at the end.
But fear not! They jump from a very high cliff into the ocean where, instead of being crushed by the waves against the cliff walls, they find a magical boat that must have been just lying around in wait for someone to take it for a ride. Well, they go dwindling each other's numbers until the final face- off, where the paradoxically good vikings win the day - just to find that Daddy brought a whole army to meet them. They are led by the younger of two brothers (the much older one is under his lead.go figure that.), a very strong fighter and more than half insane. Daddy sends a platoon of murderous mercenaries to 'take care' of the situation. The King's daughter, as her father apparently prefers her dead so as not to weaken his political standing, also joins the troupe. The monk does more than help, he becomes one of them. They manage to find a monk willing to help (oh, the parallelism is uncanny.). But they get a King's daughter that was with the patrol, being taken unwillingly to her marriage. They kill all but one, that manages to escape. They are met by a patrol of superior numbers, armed and on horse. Then they crash, losing all their weapons and gear.
And they are all, at that point, unscathed, in spite of the battle they had to fight to get away. So, it was easier to just grab a boat and try to reach Britain than to stay in their own land to regroup before venturing aimlessly across the sea. OK, they are running from home, where they are at odds with the new king. You have the ever-present theme of vikings getting into Britain, this time into Scotland.

This movie has a very shaky story line, full of unbelievable holes, weak characters and, at times, comedic acting.
This is, to my knowing, the first rip-off from the Vikings series.A very sad one at that.
