I gave this title two out of ten largely in that the costume was half-way passable - that and the behaviour of Loki throughout was reasonably in keeping with who he is. As for the rest, insipid acting, lame fight scenes and a cliched story. At first I could tolerate it but when the heroine Helle comes across the community of wandering peace-loving foragers I wrote the whole thing off. this decision was borne out by the climactic fight scene when usurper Bard confronts them with his band of mercenaries these unarmed, untrained people fight back and AREN'T slaughtered in two blinks of an eye - despite the support of Loyalists from Volsung just strikes me as absurd. The sad thing is the basic story - true heir fighting to regain inheritance - is one of the core plots of storytelling but here was handled so poorly it's sad. Once again, full marks to Loki.
