Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

O2D This is the best Roger Corman movie I have seen so far but that doesn't mean it's a good movie. I don't know much about vikings but I'm pretty sure they weren't masters of using spears.Even if they did use spears,why would they throw them at trees to vote?They could figure out the concept of voting but holding your hand up was too much for them to grasp?? Also,they were all blonde except the woman who was in charge,like they went out of their way to not be historically accurate. So anyway,the viking men have been missing and the women are going to look for them in a row boat. They row for a minute,their boat capsizes and they all wash up on the shore,lying parallel to each other. This "far away,mysterious place" looks a lot like the American southwest and of course,the men are being held captive there. The Sea Serpent has almost nothing to do with the story. This is for hardcore b-movie fans only.

Eric Stevenson I'm amazed at how prolific Roger Corman was. The only good thing about this was some of the music. The rest of the film seemed too long, even at its short running title. It has an even longer title than "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies??!!"! What makes this underwhelming is how there's a massive amount of padding in this. The title sea serpent only has a minute or two of screen time in total! You're telling me that one of the longest movie titles in history doesn't even feature the title character that much at all?! "Dr. Strangelove" did the same thing but it was actually entertaining.The actual voyage is but a fraction of the full film. At the end, the main characters summon the Gods to help them who kill some enemies. Then what next? The Gods just ignore them and let everything unfold as it should. Why'd they help them that time? Were some of them unbelievers? The characters are obnoxious and whiny. On top of all that, there are very ugly shades of blue, although that might have just been the MST3K version. Either way, this is a huge letdown if only because of its title. *

Edgar Soberon Torchia Enjoyable early Corman with California surfers as Vikings and dark-haired beach bums as their enemies. Bradford Hatton is the blandest Viking warrior you will ever see, but the film as a whole is not as bad as people say. Most of the minuscule budget went to the special effects and matte paintings, and the F/X men gave the producers as good as they got, though I must say the serpent is far better than I expected, a serviceable rubber snake with countless teeth, and better looking than Corman's crab monsters, wasp woman or the monster from the haunted sea. After budgeting cast and crew fees, Corman was left with the proverbial three bucks for costumes, sets and props. All this do show but he somehow managed to make it all look decent enough to pass for a drive-in masterpiece. "The Saga of the Viking Women" is a tight, little adventure film with a bit of melodrama for good measure, Jonathan Haze turning into a blond macho action hero out of the little shop of horrors; the Wasp Woman herself, Miss Susan Cabot, as a wicked high priestess; Jay Sayer as a queen-prince still in the closet, Richard Devon as a tyrant with no army but a bunch of soldiers with bad wigs, and a good ending with lovers reunited.

Michael_Elliott Viking Women and the Sea Serpent, The (1957) ** (out of 4) Some viking women head off to locate their missing mates when they're attacked by a sea serpent and thrown on shore where they are taken hostage by some dumb King. The viking women must then fight to save their men and return home before one more battle with the sea creature. This is another ultra low budget picture from AIP and director Roger Corman but it remains slightly fun throughout. The look of the "sea serpent" is actually pretty good and I'd say it's probably the best looking creature from any of Corman's low budget films. The cast including Abby Dalton, Susan Cabot, Brad Jackson and Jonathan Haze is charming as well. The original (and on screen) title of this is The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent.
