In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The wigs were very distracting. Fake fur on shoes, bags, blankets and clothing were very noticeable. Some scenes were good even with low budget. If you ignore the side characters, the four main characters including the only female had decent acting skills. The plot is simple and not overly complicated and is a well-worn but good story-line about the good defeating the bad despite many setbacks.The cinematography shots were done well despite the use of poor filters in a location that does not resemble Norway in summertime. They did the best they could without real snow. I loved the scene with the dead souls and its use of real humans instead of CG duplicated humans.Raw edged (not in good way) but authentic. Could have been a Hollywood blockbuster if there were more attention paid to details.
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.
yes I know the movie is not a big Hollywood production but I still like it. The acting is so so but the story is good and the environment is awesome even tough the cgi is not the best. Its nice to watch a movie with no big Hollywood actor, the main actor is okay but miss a bit of personality. I love the Viking mythology and even tough Thor is usually not a bad guy in this movie he is a red hair mean dude loll. the only thing that its very bad its the fight scene, don't expect to much from it, its feel like a cheap TV series :) The costume are most likely the worst in this movie...but like I said its not a big production. Its the kind of movie you watch when you have nothing else to do and you feel like something not to brainy cause the dialog are....poor lollgive it a chance:)
This film is released locally this week as "Vikings: The Real Legend of Thor." I guess they had to promote the fact that there is a character named Thor in this movie to attract audiences, though he is nothing like the Thor of Marvel Comics people want to see. The newspaper ads only herald two of the actors in the B-list cast whom local viewers may vaguely recall.The Christian religion is stealing the thunder away from the traditional Norse gods. Incensed, the violent red-haired god Thor is on a rampage to destroy the world. Another god Frey advises the undead King Eirick, raised from the dead by his beloved goddess of love Freya, that he needs to obtain the Horn from the underworld, Helheim. Only by blowing the horn in the face of Thor can the god of thunder by subdued. Eirich gathers a motley crew of Vikings and goes on a quest to save the earth from the wrath of the gods.The lead role of Eirick was played by Dominic Purcell. For someone with the most important role, he came up with the worst acting of all. There was nothing inspiring about him, which makes the whole film collapse under his wretched performance.Sticking out like a sore thumb is the presence of Jon Foo playing Yang, an Oriental slave. His graceful Chinese-style fighting skills stood out from the brutal sword play and barbaric bludgeoning. I guess we need someone to break the Slavic monotony, and he does his job.Talking about breaking the monotony, that would also explain the inexplicable presence of Natassia Malthe as Brynna, the token female warrior and love interest. I have to admit that her beauty was a welcome distraction among the burly and brawny Vikings.Honestly, the story is not bad at all, with interesting twists and turns towards the second half. However, everything else about this film all scream B-Movie! The props were so unconvincingly fake. Thor's hammer itself looked so flimsy and plastic. The computer-generated imagery were so cheap-looking. The script was bloated with lousy lines. The acting was either very wooden or too hammy. There seemed to be nothing done right at all. 3/10.
