Reviews of this series by the user Ediebalboa (1)
Vikings (2013)
Over the years, the initially innocuous Vikings gradually clawed their way to the point where they deserved a feature-length film rather than being dispensed in episodes. However, it still feels extremely epic and from one fishing village at the start of it all you look to England, France, the Mediterranean and beyond...perhaps too far. Michael Hirst capitalised on the initial success of the series, and the story from his hand has therefore swelled across decades and countries in a tremendous way, and it gets to just about anyone who ever had anything to do with Norsemen. Unfortunately, however, this means that there are also characters whose motives often fizzle out into nothingness or serve only as filler between individual conflicts, and that’s Vikings' sole but repetitive weakness. Thanks to Odin, at least this rabble in the series also regularly goes to Valhalla while the real warriors remain on the scene. Skål.
