Meyers’ rating: 3.2|5.0 Starsììì
The Vikings—no plot, no satisfaction, no point—runs to its ending credits without
purpose. Even with Kirk Douglas, Ernest Borgnine, and Tony Curtis, the movie
falls flat.Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia
Storyline
Two men are attracted to the same woman.
Additional
Thanks
Thank you to Director Richard Fleischer for
directing effort. Thank you to Executive Producer Kirk Douglas for making the
film possible. Additional characters/cast include: Einar (Kirk Douglas), Eric
(Tony Curtis), Ragner (Ernest Borgnine), Morgana (Janet Leigh), Egbert (James
Donald), Father Godwin (Alexander Knox), Enid (Maxine Audley), Aella (Frank Thring),
Kitala (Eileen Way), and Sandpiper (Edric Connor).
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. It’s welcome to see a movie themed around
Vikings, but this movie seems to think it is enough to show Kirk Douglas on
screen and nothing else is needed…not even a storyline. Unfortunately, a
charismatic actor is not the only thing that makes an entertaining movie.
