Dark age/ Viking movies

[IrishBlood]

Valhalla is pretty damn good

[Makrell]

Seriosly watch the thirteenth warrior It is amazing. It gives you a vibe about viking lifestyle from a arabic point of wiev and they talk norwegian in the beginning which is awesome :thuumbsup:

[IrishBlood]

i agree its an excellent movie, antonio Bandaris makes a good Arab

[Legionarii]

Im going to see Valhalla Rising tonight, I hope its good

[IrishBlood]

its good, but just dont expect any facinating dialogue, because there isnt any, just lots of violence

[Legionarii]

Ohh I liked the startings scenes when he was strapped to the pole haha, a strange but interesting movie

[IrishBlood]

told you it was good

[Wavemanmav]

Erm what about the film Vikings or the Vikings?



Awesome Film especially the siege.

Agreed. I first saw this movie as a teen, and that was a long time ago. Great fim, and Kirk Douglas is really a riot as a despotic Viking.

Dear all,

If I can add a few great movies from a bit of time ago, first one is (Franklin J. Schaffner, Charlton Heston, etc.):



and still with Charlton Heston:


by Anthony Mann.

I especially recommend the one that may be the least well known, The War Lord, which is pure dark ages!

[IrishBlood]

[Rod The Viking]

See the thirteenth warrior an amazing movie about antonio banderas fighting with vikings againist evil. It is not historical but it is amazing.

Agreed, great movie.

Valhalla Rising was really wierd. It was more.... avant garde. Kinda left open to interpretation. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like those types of movies.

Yeah, shame really ... it could have been so much more than a lame art house flick.

Here's a my favourite take on the King Arthur series
its set in the early dark ages so it fits in here i think

The director's cut was much better.

For a more traditional fantasy take on the King Arthur legend, I recommend Excalibur.

Please excuse the cheesy 80's trailer.

[IrishBlood]

well directers cuts are usually much better, e.g the Lord of the Rings
and im sorry but im sick to death of the usual king arthur story

[Harðurāðaz]

I just watched Valhalla Rising,

+ Nice landscape, Authentic(Clothes, Weapons)
- MOVIE IS DAMN SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW

[Eärnur]

The vikings is in my opinion the best dark age film that was ever made until now, followed by king arthur, though the Centurian also gives an era of the "dark ages".

The Viking Sagas was pretty good movie. On the other hand Erik the Viking was a pretty funny movie
