One of the rare Viking flicks that is good. I mean come on, Pathfinder, Outlander and other blunders are just awful, in fact Pathfinder will be soon in the section Movies So Bad That Are Good, fucking Viking Doctor Dolittle. Back to this awesome flick, Ahmad Ibn Fadlan will join the Norse warriors in their attempts to overpower strange beasts that live in the caves and attack the Viking villages. Clash of two cultures, friendships, and above all honor and pride are the themes in this movie. It is really a mans flick with all the manly stuff that will fire you up, I mean tall, strong and bearded Vikings wielding their swords and fighting for a place in Valhalla. And for girls there are those same Vikings that represent strong alpha males. Beautifully shot and directed with awesome actors this movie is based on a Michael Crichtons novel. The novel was supposedly derived from true myths, but later this turned out to be a hoax. Nevertheless, this movie is definitely worth watching, enjoy…
