Review of Vikingdom (2013) by Richard E — 30 Jan 2014

Ok its low budget CGI, and not historically accurate but its intended to be a action packed kick-ass fun film. Vikingdom does what many mainstream films have not yet done: for example the films centres around a calm collected Viking with his south-london speaking friend and a martial artist from the far east to defeat a badass Thor -awesome.

Lots of wonderful Norse myths appear in this well-researched film such as the underworld, gods and druids who actually possesses magical powers! Its also great for the atheists to take the back bench on this one - the gods exists and no one's moaning and mocking it.

The added touch that gives this one top ratings is that some warriors in the group have character backgrounds built up and many twists that you don't see coming. Further the plot is relatively simple yet somehow includes huge diversity from hunting relics, epic battles, father brother and lover relationships, demigod vs god concepts and many more.

I really hope they release a sequel although this would be hard to beat.
