Watch Northmen: A Viking Saga For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The first must-see film of the year.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Imagine you recently discovered that there is a strong possibility you may gave descended from a Viking King. Your history minded self and a band of men are caught in a storm in a Longship that was breaking apart near land. You survive by washing up on a scant beach with straight massive cliffs as your only escape before the high tide returns.Exhausted, most make it to the top to rest and recuperate, but you have been spotted by a small band of armed men who take you as hostiles and engage you in combat leaving behind a surprise in a horse drawn wagon with a princess inside while one rides away to raise the alarm. The landscape of mountains, gorges, moors and an unusual stone tower created a feeling of a lookout post that could have been seen in the movie "Willow" From this, a series of small bloody engagements cuts down the numbers on both sides as it is apparent the royal princess is in as much danger as you. In a time when people were much more in tune with the nature, certain sensitivities to the earth may have inspired some to read seemingly supernatural signs of the earth as graphically displayed by the princess with hand bloodied, then not as it gave her insight to advise the leader that they must move ahead and out of danger.No doubt the combat sequences would have challenged the endurance of even the strongest men, but how can one sit there watching without some adrenaline flow, especially when those killed on the bad guy side are replaced from the unknown source as if they didn't read their script as they resume the chase and the fight.This movie didn't start out so captivating, but seemed to keep me involved each time I started to change channels. Rates a 5 or 6, but since I was dragging my own Viking baggage along in thought, I boost it to a 7!

Excellent cinematography and great cast elevate this well above the usual fair. The performances are strong throughout and Tom Hopper is a great leading man in the style of Chris Hemsworth. Overall a very good adventure movie directed with great flair by Claudio Fah. Looks like a much bigger budget than it was. Fight scenes handled with confidence. The production values were consistently high class, with notable scenes in forests, caves and swamps all looking suitably authentic and not remotely TV standard like so many other things. Comparisons to the TV show seem unfair as this stands on its own merits as a story. The TV show often feels padded and stretched whereas this moves at a good pace and doesn't outstay its welcome.

Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.7/5 starsExcellent Viking film. A few, and strictly just a few representations might be historically, culturally, or factually inaccurate, but when a movie is this entertaining, all is forgiven. Pay a deaf ear to the naysayers and give it a shot. You'll be blown away by the pulsating action and the highly intense drama.And yeah, "Merlin" alumnus and current star of the TV show "Black Sails", Tom Hopper, displays the necessary chutzpah and body language to pass of as a believable lead in a period action film.

I love Vikings (the ancient Scandinavian seafarers and the TV series alike…) so I couldn't miss this one. And I was seriously afraid that this could be a major delusion… but it was not!On the contrary: starting from the very beginning when they wake up on Scottish coast, the images, the locations (really amazing), the characters, the fightings and the story completely caught me.Of course it is not a masterpiece. Conall (the monk played by Ryan Kwanten) couldn't help but remind of Athelstan, the plot is far from unpredictable and Darrel D'Silva (Gunnar) kills too many enemies for his age…But Ed Skrein once more (have you seen Ill Manors?) is a wonderful bad guy and finds his match in Anatole Taubman as (a great) supporting villain. What more to say? Tom Hopper biceps are mesmerizing, Charlie Murphy is pretty and if you like Vikings you won't be disappointed.
