[C]inematographer Jack Cardiff turns his Norway locations into a lush Valhalla on Earth and journeyman director Richard Fleischer, faced with an absurd story, goes for the gusto in brawling Viking parties, furious sieges, and clanging broadsword battles.

[T]remendously exciting, if gory, adventure epic...

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 17, 2020

Though it avoids many of the obvious pitfalls of Viking lore, The Vikings suffers from being both sillier and less outlandish than the real thing.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 17, 2020

Proper Hollywood overblown Viking adventure with not a shred of authentic detail but lots of glam and ham.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2020

The film, gory and raucous, is a worthy specimen of its kind, and camera-ace Jack Cardiff's color photography deserves an Oscar nomination.

Curtis' 'hero' is an unmitigated swine who cuts a swathe of destruction through the lives of all around him. Highly recommended.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 10, 2017

An enjoyable adventure film that benefits from first class work all round, The Vikings is a must for film historians and a pleasure for the rest of us.

It is the best advertisement for beer-drinking since the breweries put wrestling on 온라인카지노추천.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2006

Plenty of pillaging, axe-throwing, hearty quaffing of ale, storming of castles, heroic jumping into wolf pits, and manly talk about the glories of entering Valhalla with sword in hand.
