Trivia
Ivan Kaye who plays Ivar the Boneless in this movie also stars in the TV show "Vikings" of History Channel as King Aelle who is said to have been killed by vikings led, inter alia, by Ivar the Boneless.

Goofs
The depiction of Ivar the Boneless is grossly inaccurate. The most egregious being ignoring the known, historically documented fact that Ivar was incapable of standing upright on his own due to an unknown birth defect hence 'the boneless'. Ivar is shown throughout this movie standing and walking on his own.

Quotes
Steinar: You go to such lengths to build these churches, making sure they strike terror into the hearts of all who come near. It's just a room with a door... no different to a prison.

Better than I thought it would be after reading these reviews!

I don't understand the rating this movie has on here right now! This movie is as good as sooo many movies in this genre with much better scores. (i.e. Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Robin Hood, etc...)

Yes, okay, the casting choices weren't great (the main actors were great, although unknown, but the female roles were all poorly cast)and the story was, a little, thin, but this movie gains points from me for it's atheist message.

It was also shot very cool and the soundtrack was AWESOME. I hope the success of this film encourages more independent style period pieces in a market dominated by the big companies.
