More ridiculous stereotypical Hollywooden Viking shit


Laughable and historically inaccurate, based already on Hollywood's rape of history

It's not a documentary you imbecile. Hollywood movie. It's entertainment. HELLOOOO !!!

reply

What are you even talking about??? This is a revenge story which involves vikings... Futhermore it is fiction... do you know what that means?

reply

Ok, haven't seen the movie but does it cover hundreds of years and history and presents the Viking as sole victors in all battles???

reply

It's not meant to be realistic. Just look at this pic:-

Look at the dude's abs / six pack. He's been working out hard down the local gym to get that look that gets the guys / history buffs drooling...

A leading man wouldn't even look like that in the 70s, never mind the time period this "authentic" production is supposed to be set in.

Are they wearing horned helmets?

reply

Vikings didn't wear horned helmets, they are much older.

Yeah I know, I'm wondering if he watched the movie though.

You're the type who wanked off to the fake ass "300" movie, believing it to be "accurate history "

So Vikings never won some battles with few casualties? Don't show anyone winning a battle decisively if they ever ever lost a fight in their entire history? Apply your mindset to some other movie genre and lets see if it holds water.

I thought the movie started out clunky but it got better and better. Great Viking movie.
