Watch Erik the Viking For Free

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

Too much of everything

An Exercise In Nonsense

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Great stuff and worthy addition to the Monty Python canon, where I guess it belongs. Takes the jokes to where you want them to go, but aren't sure if they really have the nerve, but of course they do. I especially loved the part where Erik and crew met their gods--it's a darkly comic and disturbing possibility I've run through my own mind before. I feel like I should knock this film down some for its very cheesy special effects, but this kind of movie never gets a big budget, so I'm going to allow substance to overrule style. If you like Monty Python, I can't imagine that you won't like this; however, if you don't like Monty Python, you should invert the rating scale to arrive a proper assessment.

I expected this movie to be a typical Python-esquire comedy, with silly jokes constantly popping up. I don't really like such comedies (I prefer more intelligent humor), but I saw a scene from the movie and thought it was really funny so I watched the movie. What I found out surprised me. The jokes are really funny, but they make up only a small part of the movie (perhapse a quarter of the time). The rest is not that funny (if you're expecting to laugh all the time), but is a relatively decent mythological adventure movie, which strongly reminded me of the movies about the adventures of Odysseus and Jason. You have sea voyages to unknown places, mythical beasts, gods, heroes, magical artifacts... I really like that kind of stuff and I have seen quite a few movies based on Greek and Celtic myths but few based on Nordic (Germanic) myths until now. I don't know if it's really based on an existing myth but it's still in the setting of Nordic mythology. And while it's not really high quality, it's still relatively convincing.

American actor Tim Robbins plays young Erik, who comes about the shocking realisation of the few laudable aspects of the Viking lifestyle, and wants to change the image of the Vikings for the better, and sets off on a capricious journey conflated of erratically hit & miss satire, and overblown special effects.There are constant bursts of rapid fire dialogue to be found here, but honestly, lacks any real inspiration or inventiveness to be genuinely humorous, even if there may be the odd chuckle, you just sort of take it in the films loose strides. The production is admittedly quite smart, and the impressive set designs give you something interesting to absorb while one scene unravels itself after the other.Apart from this, only the cast inclusion of veteran Cleese manages to liven up the proceedings somewhat for his, albeit brief, appearance as an evil tyrant, but it's just not enough in order to give the buoyancy to float this leaky ship.

This is the most annoying film and it's arrival on DVD is a disappointment. A bunch of wanna be Monty Python actors attempt to do Python just doesn't work. The jokes fall flat, the script is clever clever to the point of embarrassing, the effects look cheap but not funny cheap, the plot is bland. It's like everyone tried to make a Python film thinking this is the formula. Neither Cleese nor Jones appearances saves it. Jabberwocky and Time Bandits and Baron von Munchaussen had a lot more going for them. Give this one a big miss-- even if it is now only a couple of dollars to buy---that should be the warning to you. God, I wish I'd heeded that warning. Why didn't I smell a rat when I saw it was only couple of dollars. I need therapy now.
