As a lover of history, i was very keen to watch a film about this moment in time, places and peoples. I read a lot but never seen a film about the wars and christianization of the northern Germanic peoples, by the Franks. There are many films about the Vikings or the Anglo-Saxons but none about the Frisians. But unfortunately this film is very disappointing and simply bad. Flat characters, bad acting, ridiculous script! The main character does things or goes to places for no reason whatsoever, nobody understands why. Who wrote this ridiculous script!? He was actually paid to write this?! And the funniest! Half of the film is in slow motion! i guess for dramatization purposes?! There are many 10 minute scenes in the film in which one just watches something that could easily be shown in 10 seconds! Never seen this before! Very tiring and bad film and not worth even wasting more words about it.. It's a shame, especially for lovers of history and historical epics..
