Nothing Viking about this, just another fantasy themed pile of nonsense

What creates the debate is when so- called "critics" whose primary knowledge of the Vikings comes from watching the Minnesota Football Team on a Sunday Afternoon, and start posting on IMDB like they work for The New York Times or Variety. Is this movie a Historical Epic like Gone With The Wind or Lawrence Of Arabia? No but it is not Transformers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles either. If someone has seen and can compare it to another similar themed movie ( Pathfinder for example) and find flaws that is okay. Instead, they like to nit pick about dress, the kind of armor and even complain about filming in South Africa ( instead of Scotland) when at least the producers did spend extra money to shoot on a location that offered stuff like a spectactular waterfall instead of on a Hollywood or London Sound Stage, while most of the critics probably have never even been to South Africa. I simply happen to like the movie more than most ( especially looking at the scenery and Charlie Murphy ( although I still do not like that name for a woman)).
