A typical Christian who abandons Christ's teachings the second he gets offended by another questioning his religion. Perhaps you need to read more of your bible to know how to respond to critics Mr. lbjack.

I find it odd when reviewers of film fail to look beyond plot. This film was a visual feast with a menacing brutality that captivates all but the comatose. The ominous score drove the emotional vein of the film to the very end. I guess this reviewer wanted to see a nice, safe film. Doris Day and Rock Hudson Mr. Rizov?

The reviewer certainly doesn't need to be Christian to see a movie cliché when he sees one.
And what does the review have to do with the Egyptian origins of Western religion? Lemme guess -- you're a brother preaching the bogus Black Studies propaganda, that all Western religions spring from black Africa. Nice try.
As for putting "thought" into the review, I'd say the reviewer has given more real thought to his review than you have to your entire history "education". You are a mediocre mind with intellectual pretensions.

"Before the Christians united all men under the cross through bloodshed and violence, we were all barbarous, open minded, free spirited people."
And with that gem, you bely yourself as a pseudo-intellectual jackass.
The reviewer is not an "aggrieved" Christian, just someone who notes a silly fashion of which you are obviously a mindless follower.

Well... where to start... this review begs the question whether the author actually saw the movie...

Dear Author of this poorly written review,
You sir need to go back to where ever you got your education and slap the hell out of your teachers and then dome yourself with a bunch of books to maybe make up for the education that was missed along the way. Or you should stopped being so biased when you write articles. As well I take it you are Christian as you took high offense to the movie (which you shouldn't have but it's ok you're infected with a plague) Christianity as all other religions were derived from Egyptians if you took the time out of your day to do some research and compare some things you will notice that everything in the bible is ripped off from the Egyptians. The only things that are different are multiple gods and different names and a few slight changes here and there. Please go away with your terrible religion and your biased attitude.
Now, the music is not "metal" in any way shape or form, you should be punched for thinking/saying such a thing. As well the way you interpreted this movie is really quite laughable, I laughed from beginning to end. You sir are a very closed minded person and the fact the company or whoever you work for let you write a review on this should also be punched.
Please before writing a review put some thought into it and do some research, would be much appreciated to the people that read these.
-Sincerely,
Chris Johnson

I read your review cause I didn't like the movie. I always have trouble deciding what I didn't like about movies. Especially ones like this, cause I love vikings. Like with Reign of Fire. I hated that movie, but on the surface, loved every concept. Just nothing you can do for bad dialog, bad acting or a bad script.
I like heavy metal too, come to that, but there was nothing metal about that music. I mean... I fucking /breathe/ heavy metal. But that repetitive, brain-searing noise in the background of this film, was not metal, or anything resembling it. You need to be educated.
You got it right with the self-importance though. This was someone who thought they were doing art. The acting was great, what dialog there was seemed smooth enough, the action was fantastic, but that goddamn droning noise was not music, nor did it rivetingly stir my emotions, it just bored and annoyed me and made me wish the next scene would kick in so something would happen. If I wanted to watch a bunch of guys walking around to crappy music I'd watch... You get the point. At least it wasn't Enya. Glad I watched it. Won't be doing it again.
"As with Robert Zemeckis's recent Beowulf, Refn is inexplicably fixated on the conflict between virtuous pagans and hypocritical, self-respect-destroying Christians during the Viking era;"
I'm gonna go ahead out on a limb and guess that you're Christan? Either way, you're the one putting emphasis on it, not the films, though both mention it and many people are aggrieved by it, I'll spell it out for you; Christianity conquered the world in the manner. It conquered Europe, the Americas and a good chunk of Asia and Africa. Before the Christians united all men under the cross through bloodshed and violence, we were all barbarous, open minded, free spirited people. If you're Christian, don't get defensive. You probably wouldn't be a Christian if this self-contradicting travesty hadn't taken place. Most of the world wouldn't be. This is what happened when Christianity and all it's power was shown to the white man and we saw what a weapon it could be. That's why the viking sagas like to remind us... Men were more free before Christ taught us that we belonged to him.

Wrong! What a lame, pointless review. Why bother, how do you get paid to write this thoughtless crap!

Your review is a tad wonky - the struggle between paganism and Christianity was *not* a theme in this film. One-Eye didn't have a single thing against the Christian soldiers. He only killed anyone who tried to kill him; regardless of who they were.
I think you completely and utterly misunderstood the entire film.

Interesting. It is Nordic, therefore let us have "black metal" comparisons. Let us classify the stupendous soundtrack as "metal", which it clearly is not. Oh, those crazy "metal freaks" and their war paintings and their "heavy" guitars. When will they learn?
Why try to write something devoid of cliches when there are so many at hand?
