FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
kosmasp It's good to see when movies are trying. Even when you feel they are failing at least there was effort. And there's a lot of effort here. If that makes it into your review or vote is a completely different matter of course. As you can see, I tried to stay objective about it, even though I commend the filmmakers for trying and going places with the story they're trying to tell.Having said that, it still won't be a satisfying view for most people. It's not so much the actors or the costumes, but the overall feeling that the scope might have gotten out of hand in perspective to the realities of what actually was available. Not a party movie, but something for indie fans all over the world
ccmiller1492 "Viking Quest" succeeds surprisingly well as an ambitious, exciting take on Norse mythology. Although its ambition exceeds its budget, it has a good, brisk pace and lots of excitement and action. With a few minor flaws, the script is well written and acted, most notably by Oliver Walker (Atlantis) and the two supporting female players. The hero is a bit disappointing but Mr. Walker, thankfully, puts him in the shade throughout most of the story. The film is far better than a host of the other attempts at this type of theme being done these days. It's not "The Vikings" or "The Long Ships" or even "Prince Valiant" but it comes reasonably close for those who enjoy remote historical period adventure films or mythic themes.. Recommended.
Dark_Lord_Mark I found this to be very watchable and fun.Is the acting a ten...nope...Is the story a ten....nope....Is the film enjoyable...YES!!! It tells the tale of a Hero, Eric, who thinks he is blessed by the Gods, his love of his commoner friend who is a beautiful women is meant to marry a prince to unite clans. But can Eric win her affection and are their wrinkles that make their union a bad one?I know clichéd, but so is every film. Once you watch the movie, you figure things out, but is that bad? Every movie, you can figure out the ending, as it is usually a 50/50 proposition, someone lives or someone dies or a mix of both.I did find it silly, but for a small budget movie, it is acceptable and do not be a snob. Don't expect, Citizen Kane, but expect Viking Quest, made to be made for TV. The TV goofiness is fun, sometimes illogical, but once you sit down, know what to expect in terms of budget you can forgive the bad acting and script issues and accept it for romance, adventure, small budget and a very likable hero.I look at the grand scheme of things, for this type of TV movie, it was pretty good, obviously it's not an award winning masterpiece but not something one should dismiss. It is not LOTR or anything that will blow your mind, but will entertain and may end up liking its charm.Men will like it, snobs will not, and I am a man, I enjoyed the plot and forgave the acting, while amateurish, enough emotion was conveyed that made it worthwhile.If you are a snob, I can see this rating as a 5 out of 10.For me personally, 9 out of 10 for a small budget Viking/Hero movie, it was good. The movie was a tad long, but the payoff was worth it and it left me satisfied.
sparrowspoo This film is awful the costumes are shabby and the script is even worst. The male lead doesn't even look old enough to shave and comes off a bit camp to me. It might have something to do with the dark makeup around his eyes.Now i know this film didn't have the biggest budget but to make a film this poor is just wrong.I got about 10 minuets in to it and started skipping ahead to see if it got better and it didn't so i turned it off.I think if your going to make a film like this try not to cast everyone with that just stepped out of the spa look. I have given this 1 out of 10 as i couldn't get in to it or even finish it.In summaryThe casting is poor. The script is poor. The acting is poor. The story is awful. This film is a waste of time and money and should have never been made.
