Damn this film rocks. Don't trust me, watch it. This is THE most perfect form of a blockbuster. This film is aware of itself, it knows what it is. Back when James Cameron knew how to make awesome movies, he made unforgettable classics like this. The animatronic and practical effects are just amazing, and by far better than most of todays crappy cgi effects.

It's a film that will always be on top of the food chain. Even if the coolest characters are female (Ripley and Vasquez) this film is pure Testosteron. The only way this film would have turned out to be more manly would have been if Arnold Schwarzenegger would have joined the cast.

Actually thats the only minus to this film. It would have been great to see Arnold killing some Aliens with his manlyness.

VAN DAMME AT HIS VERY BEST. Even the Japanese version of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bolo Yeung, can't beat him.

It's as a good a film like this can get. It's so damn 80's. The fight scenes are incredible (especially that black guy, who jumps around like a monkey. He's just amazing.).

Don't judge the acting in this film. Even Forest Whitaker's acting is lazy. But if you enjoy bad acting this film will entertain you. Add some good one-liners and you have BLOODSPORT.

So if you like action films, Van Damme and the 80's you have to see this film. It's one hell of a damn good film.

This film is as MANLY as film like this can get. It's on the same level as CONAN THE BABARIAN. One giant piece of epicness.

Jerry Goldsmith does one hell of a good job as a composer. He and Basil Poledouris knew how to compose the music for a film like that. Forget the Skyrim soundtrack (as good as it is), this is the music for a barbarian epic.

John Mc Tiernan delivers a solid work as the director. His visions for how to put the word epic on the big screen really pay off. It's not on the same high level as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it doesn't have to be. He did the best he could and you can feel that.

I never was a huge fan of Antonio Banderas but, by god, he fits the role. Even if he is Spanish, he looks like an arab. As I said, I never was a big fan of his acting, but here he gave his very best. Maybe not in every single shot he is in, but I don't blame him for that. He did a very good job in my opinion.

In all this film deserves a lot of respect. It's one hell of a good film, even with its flaws and problems here and there.

Check it out. It's a good one.

Measured by modern technical standards, this film is a blast from the past in every way.

Watch this film in expectation of seeing a relaxing entertaining film. It's a bad film done very good. The story doesn't need much or lets better say any brain at all. It's a classic monster horror flick.

It's bad acting at it's best. Even the almighty Boris Karloff doesn't seam to care about his performance. The set design is so trashy, it blows your mind.

But all of that makes this film so mind blowing good. It's part of the Boris Karloff DVD Box Set, Limited Edition together with "Alien Terror", "Dance of death" and "Cult of the dead". I recommend this film as well as the limited steelbox edition.

To all you classic horror movie and trash freaks out there, GET IT. It's a film like they don't make them anymore. Just don't expect to get creeped out.

When I think of something timeless I think about something that can bring a certain kind of pleasure to me at any time. This film is one of those I could watch 5 times a day and it would still make laugh every damn time

"Bier! A MAß!"

Just the idea of an extraterrestrial humanoid being having an accident in bavaria and learning about our culture (and about the wet golden pleasure bringing beverage called beer), is already funny as hell.

This film was made to be watched with friends and some beers. Thats all I can say about it. Check it out, it's just a lot of fun.

This film is a revelation. It's a masterpiece, it's just gigantic (in it's very own way).

So where do I start, where do I stop?

It's not like The 13th warrior. It's not like the Conan movies (love all of them). It's not like Pathfinder (neither the original nor the remake).

On the surface it's boring. Don't expect to much action cause it really isn't an action movie. This film takes everything that Hollywood blockbusters have tought us about vikings and (the rough, brutal, harsh, brainless killing machines with the will to burn down everything and everyone in their way).

This film is more like a poetic journey through the question of what is religion and at which point religion becomes insanity. But that's only one of the questions this film asks and answers.

Mads Mikkelsen is just outstanding. I have seen him in Casino Royal and Adam's Apples, but this one top's them both by far. He doesn't need to talk. Where others need pages of dialogue he manages to say everything he thinks by what he does. It's terrific what this man is able to. Give this man all credit every film he made so far, cause he deserves it all. What an amazing actor.

The atmosphere in Walhalla Rising is just wow. This film is all shatterd in a very grey tone. It feels so damn depressing and brutal. This film clearly knows how to create a depressing mood. It might not be packed with many fight scenes, but for the few in the film, it's one hell of a bloody and brutal film. It's not the most brutal film I have ever seen but for what it is, it's very brutal, so I wouldn't recommend to watch this film with children around.

Go check it out, but don't expect a very action driven film. 9/10
