646f9e108c A warlord&#39;s son is cursed to be reborn lifetime after lifetime and fated to love and lose until the curse is lifted. I had no background knowledge of this movie before I bought it, but it sounded cool and I&#39;ve been wanting to see a really kick-butt Viking movie for awhile now… alas, this film was not what I was looking for. I had hoped for the best, but instead, was delivered a boring Nordic soap-opera that seemed to drag on too long despite its 84 minute running time. The film&#39;s premise is intriguing enough: It&#39;s about a Viking warlord who defies his God and Odin is so enraged that he curses the warlord&#39;s son, named Barek, to death and rebirtha Berserker. This Barek guy is then forced to live enraged, insane, and violent lifetime after lifetime. The movie is filmed competently enough, with some rich cinematography and quasi-good performances by the actors, but again, I found myself bored and questioning when this dribble would end. The filmmakers had a chance to make something rather entertaining and semi-unique but they dropped the ball. Perhaps it could&#39;ve been improved with some cheap exploitation tactics thrown in suchgratuitous nudity and lots of gore… I mean, we are talking about &quot;Berserkers&quot; here, aren&#39;t we? Vikings were supposed to be BAD enough, what with all the raping and pillaging, so aren&#39;t Berserkers supposed to be even more extreme? All in all, unless you&#39;re a fan of The Young and Restless (etc…) or, are yourself, in fact, an insane Berserker who likes self torture, I&#39;d probably steer clear of this drab piece of celluloid. This movie sucks from beginning till (especially) the end. You probably don&#39;t get &#39;m any worse, acting, storyline ,photography, camera work, etcetera it&#39;s all bad, very, very bad.<br/><br/>But that&#39;s what makes it a &#39;great&#39; watch, it will give you more than enough good laughs. The worse, the better! <br/><br/>I really have no clue what so ever of what these people were thinking making this movie. A serious viking movie? The story is goddamn ridiculous, it&#39;s more like a comedy in disguise, kinda like Mafia, also pointless but damn funny.<br/><br/>And look out for the very very end of the movie… uhum.
