Expectations admittedly were not high watching 'Viking Legacy'. It didn't look good and part of me was starting to grow tired of seeing so many idea wastes and poorly done low-budget films (believe it or not there are watchable and more ones out there which is why they still get checked out rather than avoided). Watched 'Viking Legacy' anyway out of curiosity and because the idea was not bad, Vikings can be interesting too.

You would not think that the idea was not bad, because the story execution certainly is that and that is putting it lightly. 'Viking Legacy' is so poorly done that it has put me off watching low-budget films out of curiosity and completest sake for the time being and being increasingly nervous about watching films with decent or more concepts going for them with so many seen recently executing them poorly.

'Viking Legacy' has nothing going for it. The lead actress is attractive and cute but the same cannot be said for her acting skills. Which is pretty much the same passionless and emotionless standard of the acting with no exceptions, except some fare worse than others. That the lead actress is one of the better performers and still be far from good says a lot about the low quality of the acting.

They do have to work, but make no effort to rise above the problems, with uncharismatic, wimpy and annoying characters and really toe-curling in the worst of ways dialogue. As well as non-existent direction.

Direction that fails to convey any urgency, tension, fun, suspense or emotion in the numerous scenes that need them. The action scenes are the complete anti-thesis of exciting, are poorly filmed and looks so awkward in the choreography. The whole story is just lifeless and on the wrong side of daft that it's insultingly ridiculous.

Moreover, it's yet another cheap-looking films, with an overuse of truly risible special effects that never gels with the setting or looks real, dizzying camera work and editing and shoe-string budget production and costume design. The music is the least bad asset, but that is not really an endorsement when it's very memorable and not always used appropriately.

Overall, not worth watching...by any stretch. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Not necessarily in this movie - but in movies in general. The TV show Vikings made them .. famous and really worthwhile again. Also something to suck dry money wise. But this is a low budget offering that rides on that wave. If you are aware of that and maybe watch the trailer to be sure this floats your boat, you could be good (no puns intended I think).

I understand that many are anything but smitten by the output here, but a movie is a lot of work. And I may be a bit too soft concerning my rating, which happens now and again, but I do cut this some slack on behalf of its low budget and that it really has the best intentions in mind. Acting may not be the best and you can fault the movie in many respects (it feels way too modern, like people cosplaying/larping in the woods) ... but if you close your eyes ... I mean suspend your disbelief, maybe you can have some bit of entertainment here too

This movie starts out with some absolutely terrible acting between the main actress and someone with a terrible accent who somehow survives a fire with nothing but a burn on his face only to have his head cut off seconds later. The awful acting continues through out the film, an they try to make you forget about it by adding gore to the short and poor fight scenes. There is no chemistry between the two main actors and the film consists of them walking through trees asking each of the questions that seem to lead to nowhere. There is nothing that I can honestly say stands out in this movie other then the fact that the acting is dreadful.
