I think this film is at least twice as good as '300', and here's why: although it has almost exactly the same 'graphic novel' look and feel, I like this film more because the storyline was very engaging, great characters, costumes, and cinematography. So with that in mind this is a movie of possible unknown 'raiders' who are just *way* too brutal and they just want to kill and maim and they need to be stopped at all costs by the natives of the land. It is very much a Frazetta style picture, with almost exactly the 'Death Dealer' painting portrayed. I really think the viewers should not even think about it being a 'history lesson' at all. It's not as bad as some have painted it to be. It kept me interested throughout the 90 minutes and left me pondering about some unfulfilled premises. For an action movie, its visually stunning, fast paced and immersing. I'm not looking for complicated plot nor deeper character development. Overall, I enjoyed the movie for what it is. Though it's a more satisfying end, but a shallow one.

No sin was forgiven and no bad deeds went unpunished. The thought of inner struggle and loftier redemption was lost in the midst of killing and vengeance. But in the end, violence prevailed the screen time. It's a very interesting theme that I wish the director would explore a little bit deeper. When asked: who would won, Ghost was given the answer: the one you feed the most. On the other hand, the movie was trying to suggest that not only there's this battle of good and evil going on in the physical world, there's also a battle of hate and love in one's heart. Giving it a reason to kill doesn't make any differences as I stated above: they all have reasons, pick one and get over with it. In this movie, Vikings are symbolic evil. But does having reasons and purposes to kill make the killing more sensible? Absolutely not. Bad news for you: it absolutely makes no difference! Throughout human history, all aggressors had plenty of reasons to invade, ravish and destroy other culture and lives, the list goes from Vikings to Hitler. Does having a purpose makes evil more sensible? I have good news for people who are looking for reasons behind evil: they all have purposes and reasons, so don't waste time seeking one for them. Some may argue that the vikings in this movie kill senselessly without any purpose. Vikings are presented more like beast than man, with giant statue and equally ghastly giant armors and weapons. The overall tune of the movie is dark, mythical and menacing, fit perfectly well for the theme. What kept me entertained was the action sequence, absolutely stunning cinematography and the overall presentation and atmosphere. And it's this ghost who ended up protecting the tribes from the destruction of the Viking Clang who shared the same lineage with him. But why would you expect it to be Apocalypto if you've seen the trailer? It tells a mythical tale of a legendary Norseman who was raised by native Americans. So if you want to revel in all that is Karl (without a helmet on), take a look at the pics below.If you went to see the movie expecting something like Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, you will be disappointed obviously. The production has been surrounded by rumours of problems, although early reviews have been pretty good, so hopefully itвЂ™ll find an appreciative audience.

HeвЂ™ll be back in space for Star Trek 2 next year, although before then heвЂ™ll be eyeing the box office numbers for Dredd. Movies like Ghost Ship, Doom, The Chronicles Of Riddick, Pathfinder, and Priest didnвЂ™t set the box office (although that certainly wasnвЂ™t UrbanвЂ™s fault), but heвЂ™s seen success with The Bourne Supremacy, Star Trek (as Bones) and Red. Yes, we know itвЂ™s an important part of judge, jury and executioner title character, but why not let a really ugly actor and let Karl stand next to them looking fine?Д®ver since the New Zealander was cast as Eomer in Lord Of The Rings, Karl has seemed to be heading towards the a-list without ever quite making it. If you ask me, Dredd is a mean film, as it insists on covering up the prettiness of Karl Urban with a helmet.
