I expected much more from this movie - Vikings the series, although good, seems to lack what Game of Thrones, or Spartacus has given us, and I thought this movie was going to make the Viking themed genre move to a better position. Just because they mention the gods, and Steinar's lack of faith during the movie, doesn't really immerse you in the mythology like Vikings does. Clive Standen (Hagen) was another disappointment, just because he stars in Vikings, doesn't make him automatically one, and doesn't even stand next to Rollo (his character in Vikings). This might not be his fault, because the characters do not have where to expand. Also the ending was pathetic ... you see a huge army, nothing of the enemy encampment and when you expect the best battle of them all, nothing... nothing... time out. Farren Blackburn in my opinion tried to get a free ride on Vikings, and effectively fell from that wagon...

Uuuuugggghhhh. Another movie made for money with no real ORIGINAL choreography. It looks like a hundred other viking movies. The fighting just copies what we see in every other movie like 300 etc. You have to have more than great fight scenes or cinematography to carry a movie. JACK REACHER was a great detective movie for Tom Cruise BUT it actually lacked a sense of speed in the fight scenes. I have a problem with choreography that feels PLANNED. This movie just looks sloppy. Sound effects will not save CHEAP choreography. My God people have some VISION. Think about what else has been made and throw in some twists. This looks like a bunch of drunk fraternity boys yelling at the camera before getting killed. It could just be a really BAD trailer though. I'll need to see this before giving my final word.

In 870 AD, in Britain, the Vikings under the leadership of King Bagsecg (James Cosmo) are in war against the Saxons. When he is mortally wounded in a battle, he summons his younger son, Prince Steinar (Charlie Bewley), to meet his to other sons Harald (Finlay Robertson) and Vali (Theo Barklem-Biggs) at his death bed. King Bagsecg asks to Stainar to seek out his missing brother Hakan the Ferrocious (Elliot Cowan) to return with the next king of his people. Stainer travels with his friends Hagen (Clive Standen), Grim (Michael Jibson) and Jokul (Guy Flanagan) and his half-brother Vali to search the warrior Ivar (Ivan Kaye) that might know the whereabouts of Hakan. When they meet Ivar, he joins the group with his mate Agnes (Alexandra Dowling) in a brutal journey to hell. "Hammer of the Gods" is a weird and violent movie about the quest of a young prince to find his older brother that has been expelled from the kingdom by his father. His unexpected discovery of the truth about his family changes his behavior. Unfortunately the movie is too brutal and the choreography of the gore battle scenes is very poor with successive cuts and very few warrior due to the low-budget. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "Martelo dos Deuses" ("Hammer of the Gods")

Hey I think if you can sit down and get lost in a movie then its done its job. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Im a chick and I enjoyed the violence. It doesn't try and be too clever its just a good old fashioned romp through Viking land. Each to their own but I would say, snuggle up watch and get lost.Very cool I liked it! Its a movie I will be putting on my list of "Deserves another watch". Just watched it yesterday and have told a few people already that its worth spending time on. Go ahead. Action, vikings who could want more. Its not rocket science, its just entertainment!

If Bart Simpson and Milhouse Van Houten had made up this story in Barts tree house I would've been disappointed by the end result. For this to be made be real human beings that actually got paid makes me shake my head in sorrow. The movies only saving grace is the scenery, which you soon realise was used before in the fellowship as our heroes walk along on their quest, (not New Zealand) but still beautiful. As the movie continues you can see time and time again where they have taken parts of other movies, I kid you not, from king Arthur, Centurion, The Eagle even close to an imitation of colonel Kutz from Apocalypse now. Our heroes set out on their quest with 4 horses which had to be returned to Blackpool beach after the 8 hours of hire had expired. So it's then on foot and into battle. The battle scenes reminded me of children playing toy fights, hiding behind trees before jumping out on their friends and rolling around in the grass laughing, while our combatants were swinging away with swords others were in the background doing the actions of the Joker, and the Penguins henchmen, moving their arms about but not knowing why. I kept waiting for a big KER-POW, BIFF or KER-SPLAT sign to come on the screen, but alas that never happened. At my lowest point of depression a lady's * came on screen that took my mind from the dullness of this horrendous movie, but then the same lady had her breast on the screen a lot more times than needed to be. The ending was a mixture between Conan and Riddick, while the end scene was a Braveheart rip-off. I understand that children write silly stories, but please do not put them on the big screen, think of our sanity!
