"I saw the movie last night at the theater I work at. I must say, it was very awesome. (I have not read the book yet) While Antonio Banderas is cool, there is one character, the Norse king/warrior (I believe is played by Sven Wollter), who kicks major ass. In fact, I'd like to take this chance to suggest him to Bryan Singer, Ed Solomon, and the Donners for Magneto's role for the X-MEN movie (if Mag's going to be in it). Just wait till you see him in this. Keep my suggestion in mind. Anyways, the movie is very BRAVEHEART-esque, with a touch of WILLOW. By the way, Arnie is NOT in the flick. The first half was slightly on the slow side, but still was very interesting. The second half however, was awesome. There is, however, a very well-done way of showing how Ibn (Banderas) eventually learns the viking language which acts of a bridge from the first half to the second. With huge bloody war scenes, a humorous duel, a suspenseful invasion, and lots more. Anyone who likes action movies, war movies, fantasy, Crichton novels, Vikings, epics, or just a fun movie will enjoy this film. I highly recommend this movie."
