Review :
DAMN IT ASBJORN. I' M A WARRIOR NOT A CLIMBER!
A small boat full of exiled Vikings get marooned on Scotland, which doesn't want them either. Asbjorn (Tom Hopper) leads the group who happen to defeat a troop of soldiers and capture the princess (Charlie Murphy) the film's sole eye candy. They plan to ransom her off to her father for enough money to buy their way into a Viking settlement in the south. The plans go bad when they find out the rescue army wants to kill the princess, which they claim are the orders of the King. The Vikings are aided by a fighting monk (Ryan Kwanten) with a staff. Oh yes the princess can read the ground too. Ed Skrein leads the Scots who appear to be one chromosome away from Orcs.

The film consists of Vikings running away from Scots, getting caught by Scots, fighting Scots and running away from Scots. The love story doesn't develop. The fight scenes weren't bad, but not memorable. Acting isn't bad for people who grunt.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Charlie Murphy cleavage. Tom...

Do not watch this as a serious Viking lore movie. Watch it as a Vikings/Conan film. So much of Middle Earth and the old Conan style fantasy is present and glorious. Plus one of the towers in the movie looks like a tower in skyrim. This is DnD, with a perfect party. Monk/Cleric, Magic User or Druid, a few fighters a barbarian, thief and ranger. Watch it with the right mindset and this thing is Gold.

If You're Looking To Pass Time Until VIKINGS Returns To TV, Then Here's A Reasonable Substitute: NORTHMEN

It won’t have the character depth of, say, the History Channel’s exceptional VIKINGS program; and it definitely won’t have all of the spectacular spit-polish of HBO’s GAME OF THRONES. But it will have some passable performances crafted together into an occasionally blood, brutal affair, so there’s something to be said for celebrating this smaller picture.
