Most people should be able to tell just from the cover that this is a ‘B’ movie loaded with B grade actors and all the traditional cliched and implausible elements that every low-budget (and many a blockbuster) action flick contains, and therefore should not be too disappointed with what they find here…
Obviously the production values are not on the same level as the ‘Vikings’ TV series…however, the biggest problem with the TV series is exactly that…its a TV show…so those of us who don't want to be driven to the edge of insanity by the very nature of that medium have to settle for lesser fare like this to get their viking fix…
On the plus side, ‘Northmen’ does have some nice landscapes and scenery to help drive it along and compared to the utterly dire ‘Vikingdom’ is both a masterpiece and a breath of fresh air…
