It sucked.
Mostly.
The movie starts out with a lot of Viking-y atmospherics and sounds and all that, story is about a boy who's father the king is killed by his own brother, who then steals his wife and kills many in the village and the boy escapes and vows revenge etc...
But he grows up (serving as a Beserker), finds out the evil uncle has already lost the kingdom he stole and was exiled to Iceland to start over again, and so young guy travels there to seek his revenge...and... win back a backwater settlement in Iceland.
He later finds out his mother was actually in favor of his father being killed, because apparently he was a bastard who looted villages all the time (I mean, what ELSE does a Viking do?) and so hero guy ends up killing his own mother and even one of his nephews or whatever, along with half the village (although he makes friends with the slaves and one girl played by Anime eyed chess girl whose name someone here probably knows, but should not utter).. but then he kinda flames out and after getting various small injuries finds himself fighting the evil uncle near the foot of an erupting volcano ('Hel', which is where everyone would want to live near)...and he and the uncle end up killing each other, and he dies, while the slave girl he impregnated sails away presumably to carry on the legacy of the boy who killed his own mother and had a father who apparently looted and pillaged TOO efficiently for others' liking.
If you've seen the 'Vikings' TV show, you aren't missing anything. Most of the plot lines in the movie were done better in some way in the show.
So how is everyone doing? Long time no talk.
