I loved this move i have no idea why people are bagging on this movie so much ,it is rite up there with 300 as a great adaptation and was so cool to wacth the fighting was brutal the story kept you intrested the acting was not bad at all so i don't know why this film gets bad reviwes cause it's really pretty good at least worth the rent but i would have seen it in theatres.

Really wanted to cower at this celluloid spectacle's physical presence. The elements were present: marauding, pillaging Vikings displaying brutal, forceful dominance; an indigenous Tribe of Native Americans adoption of one 'forgotten Viking son' as their own; the lone, hybrid Warrior; a battle for existence in the balance. Yet, it disappoints. A combination of 'The 13th Warrior', 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'The New World' at best. Karl Urban (Kirill in 'The Bourne Supremacy') plays the brooding Ghost, the adopted Viking. Russell Means **** in 'The Last of the Mohicans') the Tribal Pathfinder and Clancy Brown (no explanation required) the dastardly head Viking Gunnar. Throw in sexy gal Starfire (Moon Bloodgood, that's the female actors name - honest) and a Director (Marcus Nispel) who cut his teeth doing Pop Promos for the likes of Billy Joel, Janet Jackson and George Michael. Don't judge, everyone starts somewhere. The direction and lavish visuals are excellent - a treat. But not enough to prevent numb-bum syndrome. At times the line between 'Pathfinder' and 'The Last of the Mohicans' blurs, certain Daniel Day-Lewis was poking around in the woods. Action sequences are good, but nothing especially new or invigorating. Someone can only be chopped up by sword in so many ways. All that said, go see it or rent it. Can't hurt. If it does, it'll only be your bum.

My. Oh my. I don't think this movie was based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper. At least, I hope not. He's already dead, there's no need to try and hurt the man again.

My. Oh my. I don't think this movie was based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper. At least, I hope not. He's already dead, there's no need to try and hurt the man again.

This movie has some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard. And when I say worst, I mean that sometimes people don't say anything for 20 minutes; then they yell maybe five words; and the Native Americans say things so cliched, I'm surprised nobody sued. "The boy has destiny with the people. He stays!" one of the elders says when the lost Viking boy is adopted. What? Native culture has been around for tens of thousands of years, and the writers can't give him anything better to say than that?

Some of the battle scenes were okay. You don't get much swordfighting these days. However, the entire movie seems to have been shot with the lens caps still on the cameras. Suffice it to say that I put my copy up for sale on eBay about 20 minutes into having watched the film for the first time.

Yuck.

Well made. Not much of a plot. Not bad if u like pure violence.
