2008-12-20The orginal is one of my all time favorite movies and I have it on VHS. This completely butchered version should not have ever seen the light of day. Why couldn't they at least included an orginal DVD version? Such a waste.
2008-02-18I bought this not noticing this was the "director's son's edit". I hope the director's son never edits another movie again! The edit was something a high-school child could have done on his i-mac. Scenes that were once complete now end abruptly and jump around, mouths move with no dialouge, horrible growls were added to fight scenes. . . the list goes on. I plan to sell this back and wait for the orginal cut to be released in the US.
2008-02-17First off, it's actualy the director's son's cut. It is not as good as the orginal at all. They took out 23 minutes of footage, added bad sound effects, and the video quality was lacking. They sharpened some of the picture but didnt give it a very good transfer to dvd, so can easily see a lot of bluescreen effects. Dont waste your money on this, try to get the orginal instead.
2008-02-15this film was really funny untill they brought this out and attemted to make a directors cut. and he was Cut Happy. it is still a good film and worth owning if you do not have it for your collection but be warned it's about 15 minutes shorter and some of the really funny scenes were edited a bit here and there but in most part the story is intact and the whole bit with the holy man that cannot see valhalla was still amazingly funny but they did this film an injustice to re-release it in this condidtion. unless you are like me and absolutly have to have it, rent it first to be sure because even though now having seen what all the fuss is about I would still buy it because it's better to have an edited film then never be able to watch it again. just my humble oppinion. not going to write about the story again you all know it.
a 3 star effort.
Buy it Here. Rent First though (see above)
Erik the Viking
2008-02-08No, I'm not refering to my favorite football team but rather those swarthy heathens who reeked HAVOC on the world centruies ago. Anyone "into" the Viking culture, like myself, will be suprised by the acuracy of the portrayal of the Norsemen's culture in this comedy peice. Set decoration, costuming, terrain, etc. are perfect. With a diverse cast including the likes of Tim Robbins (in the title role), Mickey Rooney, John Cleese and others it's a pretty decent little film. A bit Monty Pythonish, but ex-Python Terry Jones wrote and directed it from the book. Not a bad little film.
