I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brilliant and touching

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sadly, the movie does not wholly succeed : it would like to be a window on a far distant, far different time (mostly pre-Christian or not- Christian), but both its knowledge and its imagination fall short. When and where it tries to fill the gaps, it veers too much in the direction of, say, renaissance fairs, cosplay or sword and sorcery. On the plus side, this is a pleasantly clear and understandable introduction to the Nibelungen saga. It whets the appetite and invites the viewers to go on their own voyage of discovery into a world of poetry, myth and history. It also works on its own merits, as a reflection on the difference between real accomplishment and genuine merit on the one hand and pretend heroics on the other hand. It's also a pretty watchable tale of love, treachery and calculation. (By the way, you're not human if you don't want to kick Kriemhilde in the behind.)The music, I suppose, isn't too bad, but it is used too liberally. There are things in our world which have a deeply evocative sound of their own - such as, for instance, a sailing ship moving at considerable speed or a wood filled with eager hunters and hounds - and it's both annoying and redundant to cover such sounds with layers of music.

This is an excellent movie. It has another name too. Dark Kingdom: Dragon King. And If you are the type of guy who enjoys Lord of the ring type movies with sword fight and magic. You will love it. The story line is so well narrated with twist and turn. The acting is very well done in the movie. Loved k Loken. She has done her role superbly. The movie has a decent pace and does not let one feel bored or dragged into it. AS i said, you will love if if you enjoys time period movies. In search of good movie, i started watching movies from different countries and bump to this one. The movie has medieval touch. It If n e one knows similar movie to this one, please reply.

This movie is just fantastic as many fantasies really are. Part fantasy part mythical part adventure but it's no war movie. So don't compare it to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I really enjoyed the movie. Let the critics say anything about the movie.It's true the movie deviates from the original story line or the actual Teutonic legends but it's worth watching. Special effects can be praised seeing the budget of the movie.The story line is nice. As it was on TV second part contained the synopsis / recap of previous show which was little boring. But you will enjoy it if you are a Teutonic legend fan. Enjoy it

I was absolutely mesmerized by this movie- despite the unnecessarily distracting hair cut given to the male lead that makes him look just too girly. In any case, I was not familiar with the works that inspired this movie but was completely captivated by the story of love, the fulfillment of anticipation, and deceit. I would have like to have seen more of the conflict between the old Norse religion and the new Christianity since that seems to be the important background for the story and is mentioned in the final two lines of the movie. Kristanna Loken is always a pleasure to watch and I wish the movie would have focused a little bit more on her and the lives of Icelanders. I was expecting some below B level movie but the it's well realized. This is a great epic with a great story and good performances. I did not want it to end. I wish there were more movies about the pre-Christian European peoples.
