Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Fantastic!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This is an excellent movie. It has another name too. Dark Kingdom: Dragon King. And If you are the type of guy who enjoys Lord of the ring type movies with sword fight and magic. You will love it. The story line is so well narrated with twist and turn. The acting is very well done in the movie. Loved k Loken. She has done her role superbly. The movie has a decent pace and does not let one feel bored or dragged into it. AS i said, you will love if if you enjoys time period movies. In search of good movie, i started watching movies from different countries and bump to this one. The movie has medieval touch. It If n e one knows similar movie to this one, please reply.

In this Sunday of raining I started to watch TV Italian TV after lunch, and "Ring Of the Nibelungs" seemed to be the only acceptable thing to watch. I don't watch much TV and most of all fantastic movie for children as I wrongly thought this was at the beginning. First of all this may not be movie for children. On the other hand I realized it was not poor in any sense. It tells the story of Eric, a blacksmith, who goes to fight the dragon, wash himself with his blood, making his skin invincible, and take to his own kingdom its damned gold. This challenge will be the beginning and not the end for him, specially after he knows that he is Siegfried, heir of a kingdom, and that he can fight and marry queen Brunhild of Island. They both love each other. Well directed, it never get boring, and most important banal, or childish. All the actors made a good job, specially, I think, the beautiful Kristanna Loken, and king Gunther, Samuel West. You won't see great things in here. It is simply well done. After this afternoon it goes on my favorite's movie list. A very nice movie.

This movie is just fantastic as many fantasies really are. Part fantasy part mythical part adventure but it's no war movie. So don't compare it to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I really enjoyed the movie. Let the critics say anything about the movie.It's true the movie deviates from the original story line or the actual Teutonic legends but it's worth watching. Special effects can be praised seeing the budget of the movie.The story line is nice. As it was on TV second part contained the synopsis / recap of previous show which was little boring. But you will enjoy it if you are a Teutonic legend fan. Enjoy it

I've seen this film twice by now with two years in between and I really thought that my opinion about this film would change, after seeing it the second time but fortunately it hasn't. I've read some books since the last time about this Saga and I thought this film picked quite the essences of the story. In fact: every interesting and important detail was mentioned, those who didn't read the books, they will still understand the film very easy because everything is explained and last but not least: The Saga of the Nibelungs provide here the Story and as I said, most of it is shown in the film. So the Storyline is absolutely according with many books and therefor OK. To the characters: Everyone has done his job quite well...but I would have picked another Man for the role of Gunther, King of Burgund and maybe took also another sister, Kriemhild of Burgund...I didn't like them, not because of their acting, but because I didn't like their faces, but that's to everyone himself to decide. And of course, what enriches this film absolutely is the gorgeous Kristanna Loken with his role as Queen Brunhild...I tell you, she's in her coldness as Queen of Iceland such a beautiful person, i wanted her in every scene :)Enjoy it, 9/10!
