The Long Ships
The Long Ships

This was one of my favourite Saturday afternoon at the movies adventure movie that I was adicted to as a kid. It is very easy to enjoying this DVD for its high spirited adventure the pure nostalgic factor without having to lament that it is basically a B movie - a pretty good B movie. Besides it is a great popcorn with the kids movie and will likely be just as well received by the grandkids in a few years. Based on the enjoyable story line, it would be nice if they remade this movie, the Vikings, and Alfred the Great to the modern LOTR type standard.

The Mother of all Voices
Like others I saw this film when I was a kid. Watching it now I still have the sense of fun I did when I was about ten. I'm not blind to it's faults. I love Richard Widmark but a Viking? It's a stretch to say the least. At least he doesn't have that sick Tommy Udo laugh! Russ Tamblyn -- a minor name off WEST SIDE STORY. Edward Judd (probably best remembered for Ray Harryhausen's FIRST MEN IN THE MOON) and Oscar Winner Sidney Poitier. Oscar Holmolka as Rolfe and Orm's drunken Viking lord father who gets screwed by Viking King Haraald for his death ship. A giant bells made of gold, the Mare of Steel ... it's saturday afternoon stuff to be sure. Park your disbelief outside and it's a fun movie. As such movies go, Fleischer's THE VIKINGS is far better.

HORRIBLE!
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER WATCHED. I ONLY WATCHED PART OF IT BEFORE I THREW IT IN THE GARBAGE. TERRIBLE ACTING. SILLY PLOT. JUST A RIDICULOUS MOVIE.

Saw this movie when I was 15. It made me a lifelong fan of the late Richard Widmark.
