****en awesome film.
The production values are right up there with Xena and Hercules, and it's 3hrs long, but despite that it's still pretty damn good.
It's got Kristanna Loken as Brunhilde, Valkyrie Queen of Iceland, and it's based on the Volsung Saga - what with Siegfried and such. I, personally, am of the opinion that Kristanna Loken can't act for **** - but the one thing she can do is act angry and look hot, which is pretty much her entire role, so all is good.
There's lots of sword fighting, mythological crap, curses, dragons, people being stabbed through the heart with spears and plenty of implied rape. All of which I usually hate (violence and rape excluded) - but it's done well.
Good classic plot. Smokin' hawt leading lady. Smokin' hawt supporting lady (Alicia Witt). Max von Sydow. Tons of death. Go watch it / buy it on DVD.
