Really? Spend a 1 500 000 000 RUB & 7 years to film that bullshit? What a joke, and not a piece of true with a historic moments! Seems director and writer never read a book about that time! Prince Vladimir of Novgorod seems to be an idiot with no power in hand, it is not possible to become a powerful person with such of behaviar as he!So do not recommend to watch it, at all!
it's not a movie it's a shame full of absurd situation and absurd dialogue. Dialogue always trying to confuse but don't give you a real story. The press said that it would be a credible film but it's not Do not watch this trash. I'm serious I'm not a hater it's just a bitter truth. Shame on Russian movie...
7 years and a huge pile of cash was spent to create this completely non-watchable movie. It was positioned as the most accurate historical video document. Really?! In the very beginning they show a crossbow. In Russia. In 10th century. Really?! Helmets that they wear historically never existed. And so forth. The movie is full of moments that are not understandable and not related to the story line. Complete waste of time and money.
After watching the whole movie in cinema, I couldn't really understand what has the title in common with the movie itself. Neither history, nor drama, this movie is a total mess of illogical actions and was scenes. A bunch of bearded Slavonic men screaming out loud and struggling with obviously fake weapon, having no philosophy, moral or logical basement in their head. So what? is it enough to be called viking? Is it enough to make a movie? My biggest problem was not the fact that nothing in the movie looked realistic or solid: the weapons, helmets and ships taken from various historical and cultural environment. I am not too mad about the fact, that I don't believe the dialogues and speech 10 centuries ago were the same as I hear on contemporary Russian streets. But to have no solid and logical story-line and no any well defined character who is conscious enough ... in a 133 minute-long movie? That's totally insane. Sorry, but no more nowadays Russian filmography!
