Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Please don't spend money on this.
As Good As It Gets
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Absolutely awful. Everything from the "acting" to the discount Renaissance Faire costumes is laughable. Nothing is period or even remotely historically accurate as far as Vikings go, but I'm not sure that was the intention of the "filmmakers," if we can call them as such. I can't help but imagine a prepubescent D&D nerd behind the camera.Add alcohol or some other intoxicating substance, however, and the movie instantly becomes hilarious.If you love to mock movies MST3K-style, then this is the movie for you. With a budget of approximately $50, the producers were able to whip up a tour de force of epic foolishness. It behaves like professional porn, but without plot or tolerable acting, and fails to deliver even one decent sex scene.Watch this movie with a group of friends and plenty of beer goggles. It is not worth watching under any other circumstance.
From the word Go, this was awful. Badly shot with what looked like a mobile phone camera and scenes set up without any hint of a lighting director in the vicinity it was still no warning for the sheer hilarity and obscurity of this B-Movie gem. Being fairly up on my European history made some of the glaring historical inaccuracies painfully obvious (CHAINMAIL for God's sake! CHAINMAIL! In pre-Christian Europe?! I don't think so!). But that added to it's car-crash charm!This isn't a spoiler but the best thing about the whole film is the sight of the world's most obvious hair extensions of the blonde guy. You have been warned!
I agree with the previous comment: this movie is better than you think, it's pretty nice and obviously the core crew put as much effort into it as they could given budget.The things that I don't like differ from the previous opinion, though.I think the costumes and sets are actually pretty good, in my opinion the main problem is some lousy acting. Not by Jane March but by the bad guy and some others. Quite obviously, somebody had an idea for a movie and got a good team together and then had to hire actors that lack a certain spirit.But in the end it is enjoyable enough and hey, Brad Pitt can't act either so there.
This movie is not great, by any stretch. It is the story of Beauty and the Beast retold from a vaguely new perspective.Having said that, its not as bad as it first appears. Sure, the costumes suck...it is obvious that this is a film with a very low budget.But the acting is decent, and there were even a few that stood out. The writing is decent. And the directing was obviously quite good. He/she did quite a bit with very little money spent. Even the production was decent. Not spectacular, by any means. But certainly could have been worse.So, does it top my A list? Not a chance. But if you are looking for a movie that is a pleasant diversion, this may be the ticket.
