The Vikings (1958)
5/10
Falls short of a better film
31 July 2006
'The Vikings' is a story about a Viking who falls in love with an English princess that has been captured. He tries to win her heart, but she falls in love with another man, and there is a cruel twist of fate at the end of the film.

While the film does contain some good action sequences, it is lacking in story and characterisation. It is difficult to get too close to the characters, and the film is weak in this aspect. The film could have been much more dramatic had there been more depth with the characterisation. Since it fails in this area, the film becomes an action Viking film. While it is not too bad, it could have been better through just a little more effort.
