Review of Hammer of the Gods (2013) by Hani H — 21 Apr 2014
This movie confused me, as I could not say right away if I really "4 Star" liked it or not, but after thinking about it: yes, I did. The beautiful Cinematography played a big part in that fact.
Then there is Charlie Bewley, who acts incredible and has a great charisma, Clive Standen is now well known for "Vikings" and did, supposedly, a rehearsal here ;). In my interpretation it is the story of an initiation.
It is cruel and there are a little to many hiking scenes (Lord of the Rings style) where there is literally nothing happening. But somehow it still grabbed me. And I found it very interesting that Steinar, the prince on a quest for his brother, had a uncommon atheistic worldview, while the movie as a whole was very critic towards religion.
"Hammer of the Gods" was somehow weird, but it worked (for me).
