It sure isn't anything like the Vikings series. But, my hopes weren't that high.
But, with this cast, they weren't that low either. These are some of my favorite actors.
I'm disappointed. For all the effort that was obviously made, everything about this movie was boring and dull. The plot was either hard to follow or just too boring to care. Honestly, I had trouble staying awake. Did I mention how dull it seemed. No colorful characters. And, the visuals were so colorless that I wondered if something was wrong with my TV.
I get it. It's a dark story. But having a boring background and washed out colors adds nothing to this story but countless yawns.
I mean there are plenty of dark stories that do well with colorful characters, some natural human humor, and vibrant colors. Even the dark story of The Walking Dead has blue skys, colorful sunsets, green grass and red blood. And it is still such a dark story that no character can find and keep a safe place to live, let alone happiness.
Anyway, like it or not, that's my review.
Oh, and I'm kicking myself for buying instead of renting this. What a waste of 10.00. Because, I probably won't be watching this a second time.
