Though it avoids many of the obvious pitfalls of Viking lore, The Vikings suffers from being both sillier and less outlandish than the real thing.

Proper Hollywood overblown Viking adventure with not a shred of authentic detail but lots of glam and ham.

The Vikings is spectacular, rousing and colorful.

It is the best advertisement for beer-drinking since the breweries put wrestling on TV.

Plenty of pillaging, axe-throwing, hearty quaffing of ale, storming of castles, heroic jumping into wolf pits, and manly talk about the glories of entering Valhalla with sword in hand.

Sep 05, 2010This is a cool movie about Vikings as played by Douglas and Curtis. The movie is really exciting and the story is great, it's pretty accurate, and very dramatic as well. I enjoyed this movie.Aj V Super Reviewer

Jun 01, 2010Just a great epic that never lost it's sense of fun and imagination. A lot of that goes to Kirk Douglas who is the epitome of the legendary Viking, he's a brutal drunken savage. However, he's also a great character and full of emotion rather than being just a stereotype. What also makes it great is the amazing set design, costumes and score. On top of that, the story is so well done and not typical of just another love & war story. The castle invasion is probably one of the greatest battle scenes, you don't get better action than that.Conner R Super Reviewer

Nov 22, 2009i'm not a fan of 50s historical epics at all but this has to be one of the best out there. i'm sure it's utter nonsense but it IS fun. ernest borgnine as a viking king sounded ridiculous to me before i saw it but i have to say his performance is one of the highlights. why aren't there more films about vikings?Stella D Super Reviewer
