Plots(1)
In the midst of time comes the clanging of steel against steel, a collision of myth, history and fiction... Vikingdom. Loosely based on Viking legends and the epic poems they left as record, with a creative interpretation, Vikingdom is a fantasy, action adventure about a forgotten king, Eirick, who was tasked with the impossible odds to defeat Thor, the God of Thunder. Thor is on a mission to gather the key ancient relics - "Mjolnir" - his hammer from Valhalla, "Necklace of Mary Magdalene" from Mitgard and the "Horn" from Helheim. This needs to be accomplished before the Blood Eclipse, which happens once every 800 years, failing which, the pagan Viking Gods will never be able to rule and conquer mankind ever again. Only one man can stop him... a heroic former king, Eirick, who died in battle, but is brought back to a life by a sorceress who's also his lover. (official distributor synopsis)

Three fundamental elements are the basis for its lack of success. The first is Dominic Purcell. Let's face it, he's not a master actor, and you could count the good films he's been in on one finger. The second is the Viking theme in an American-Malaysian co-production. Because Americans and Malaysians are certainly knowledgeable about Norse stories and legends... And finally, the cheap production. Nothing good could come of it and it didn't. The special effects here are handled like garbage, both the practical and digital. They just pile up in a heap without any order. You can't even talk about there being any acting in it. Thor does have great red hair, but there are also plenty of awkward dialogues in this film.
