The movie is a bit of a cult classic here, though I honestly don't remember how good it is.
I wish, or its because our movie industries aren't so big (or Denmarks is fairly excellent), but barely know much if any viking movies(only recall a comedy series). In general even if the history is appreciated, the viking obsession is more from the anglo side of the Western world and not so much here in Scandinavia.
I assume this will suck

Big budget is not an excuse. It should be filmed now, it has everything it takes to take a big part in the movie industry. Vikings cover amazing history.

I can only think of Valhalla Rising and Den Sidste Viking - both flunked. I guess it's like with war movies, that it's a subject that (almost always) requires good production value to attract an audience. If the upcoming viking movie is done right, I don't see why there couldn't be a wave of viking movies coming.

Yeah, that looks like shit.
I was just talking about why there previously haven't been a lot of viking movies. And the ones that have (in Denmark) haven't been successful. And knowing film studios, that's a huge reason why there aren't a lot of viking films. If the next one is successful, I'm sure more are coming.

Here's what I recently watched
The Princess Bride - What a simple yet so epic movie, I loved it
Groundhog Day - Meh, decent at best. Still, nice to kill some spare time.
8½ - Wow, what a load of shit. To me this is one of the most overrated movies ever made. It might be that I'm not a fan of Fellini since I also thought how Amarcrod sucks. But man, what a disaster this movie was/is, it's beyond me. Sure, I can understand it's autobiographical plot and his stress. But this movie is simply horrible. So many things dropped at once, it seems like he made this movie in one day, literally one day.
The Last Emperor - Nothing special.

I, on the other hand, weren't that big a fan of The Princess Bride. Agree about The Last Emperor. I'm still saving 8 1/2.
I liked Groundhog Day! I just don't think it was special as some suggest. Although I love every movie that can return me to childhood and give a nice feeling, like an old school stuff. That movie totally did that.

No man, I love Vikings, I think it's epic. But I'm just saying how there's lack of Vikings stuff in general and it's a pity because I love their history and tradition.
Agreed. We need a Genghis Khan!
