Thanks for the memories!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The true definition of Valhalla is hero rising, NORSE for where Nordic gods or heroes go when they die. There in lies the secret to the film. It's about a mute man with extraordinary strength who is a battle scarred hero. The trek to this land where he believes he will be home. The film is shot in a six part sequence that dives the story, however the pace is extremely slow and you will get bored. Very little actual dialogue and the main character never says one single word. The scenery and cinematography is on point and very well received. It's a story of a man/hero who visions the trek home through hell. It's ok but certainly not a jump start film. 5/10

To much violence still very very very under rated this movie is way better then at least 99% movies which are being made in hollywood now dayz..........

I spent much of the 90 minutes wondering how long Mads was in makeup every day to get that eye just right. I slept through 20-30 minutes of mist, soI ran it back just to see if I missed anything. Negative. Notta. Nil.Mads does a great job of not speaking & semi-smirking a lot. He has a great face and cutting edge hairdo.I've seen worse. I really have! I think ...The most entertaining moments of this "experience" were the reviews. Peace out.

This has to be one of the lowest budgeted films I've ever seen: a mere handful of cast members dressed in period costume and no sets whatsoever, unless you count a cage and a boat as a set. It's a Viking epic shot entirely in the great outdoors, so if you're a fan of beautifully rugged Scottish scenery standing in for most parts of the world, you're in for a treat with this film.The makers attempted to make the film look like 300 on the Blu-ray cover I purchased, complete with a cast of shield-wielding warriors in the background. It's a total fallacy. Those expecting an action epic will be disappointed, because this is nothing of the sort: it's actually a 'heart of darkness' type film, a journey into madness and despair, more like AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD than any other film I can mention. Our hero, One-Eye, is mute and expressionless, a kind of cipher full of mystery and macho coolness, as envisaged by some early scenes in which he takes part in slave fights, gorily dispatching his enemies by breaking necks, splitting skulls, and pulling out all of a guy's internal organs in one gruesome, stick-in-the-mind interlude.After a long time setting up an utterly bleak, dirty and harsh world, the plot begins for real: One-Eye and his buddy, a kid who's the only sympathetic character in the film, join up with a bunch of Christians planning to spread the word in Jerusalem. After a fraught sea voyage, they actually turn up in North America, where they run foul of primitive Indians. It turns out that one of the plot points in this film – a Norse pillar to the Gods on a Delaware shore – was actually found to have happened by archaeologists, so it's cool the film links that in. In any case, there's no happy ending here, just madness, despair, death, and a bit of male rape thrown in too.I was refreshed to see not a single special effect. There are nightmarish red-tinted dream sequences, in which One-Eye experiences flashes of the future. There's a drug-induced spiral into madness featuring the aforementioned male rape and the building of the pillar. There's a head-scratching ending twist that demands second viewing, and sudden moments of extreme violence and death that keep you completely unsettled while watching. I thought this was a great film, and it's one of the best to make good use of the great outdoors. Here, the outside world is a hostile one in which fear of the unknown plays a big part: it's creepy, atmospheric and sometimes totally chilling.
