Oh I very much agree
I'm a big fan of viking, medieval, epic movies ( or whatever you wanna call them)
where some hated robin hood and kingdom of heaven I really liked em so I'm definitely a sucker for these movies. But valhalla rising is just a waaay too artistic film for the masses, the main character does not say a word throughout the film. For the silent or psychological film that it is, it lacks sense and description, if I wanted that I would watch a terry Gilliam movie which is leaps and bounds ahead of this film. Its got some awesome fight scenes and cinematography but thats about it, its almost a task to watch,
its like watching a badass heavy metal music video without the music.
I heard Mad Mel is directing a Viking epic with Dicaprio
not sure about DiCaprio's fit in that, but from the guy who brought us breavheart and apocalypto I'm stoked for this film, if it actually happens
And for all the hate its receiving for its costumes
I Think Thor will prevail, its got the best team of all the 2011 Comic films, not sure about the best cast, caps sucks but GL is on point. I hope Branagh and Hemsworth shock the world!
-not a true viking movie, but vikings are in it none the less
