I remember looking forward to this movie the first time I saw the trailor (when it was called "Eaters of the Dead"). It didn't disappoint me. A fan of the Beowulf legend, I really dug this movie. It's not award-winning, Shakespeare level movie-making, but it sure does entertain me. I should probably avoid reading the book.

Although it gets a little mystical and nonsensical, a lot of it is very good.

Pretty good version of Beowulf. Not great but certainly a great action movie and with quite a cast as well. Nevermind that Antonio Banderas and Omar Sharif are in it how that fits in to Beowulf don't ask me. They made it work and it is a truly enjoyable film. Don't expect the legend as told from lore it has a spin and it is different. You will be on the edge of your seat and rooting for the heroes throughout. Definitly a man movie.

rubbish!

It's really bad, and half the plot is missing, but it's just to cool not to like. I'd like to see the full uncut version sometime.

I slept very well on this one

The poor man's 7 samurai.

Vikings, legends, fights.... pure fun! :D

Poorly constructed and has a rushed feel, but the action does it's job and the cast is pretty effective.

I won't deny that I had a fair bit of fun watching it, but I can't really recommend it to anyone, as it doesn't really stand out in any way. And it has plot holes and elements that defy logic; Antonio Banderas' character apparently learns Norse in an evening... he must be quite the cunning linguist.

Awesome!

13 elite warriors on a quest. Watch them drop like flies and watch Banderas learn a new language and magically transform it into english at the same time.

WWF wrestlers turned into vikings = mediocre action flick.

Feels very supernatural, but you come to find that there is nothing supernatural about it. A lot of people have a big beef against this film, and I can't understand why unless it's that they weren't expecting a historical-fiction kind of setting.
