    Excellent

    A great film that sticks quite closely the the original Anglo-Saxon saga.

    The film is very atmospheric with great action sequences, brilliant costumes and props and a decent cast who really bring this Nordic tale to the screen with style. If, like me, you love Historical epics then make sure you rent this one then sit back and enjoy being transported through the mists of time to a legend and myth from the Dark-ages.

    Not What you'd expect

    This movie had great scenary, a decent cast line-up, and the story line is based on a famous poem. These factors, however, were unable to save the movie from being woeful.

    The movie is slow and extremely boring. Even the actors seemed uninterested in their roles (all exept the 'monster' who was given the task of acting like a 7yr old idiot, and appeared to enjoy it).

    This movie is only intended for people who either like to concentrate on scenary (rather than watching the movie), or like to see supposedly drunken Danes lounge around...for both i would recommend going to a Scandinavian country instead
