Reaction: Norse: Valhalla wasn't a huge money-maker for the studio, but it did thankfully manage to bring in a small profit thanks to strong box office overseas.
"In relation to LRF’s growing collection of viking films, it’s not the best nor worst but I think audiences will have a good time with this one. While Bridges is unsurprisingly excellent, Campbell and Ellis wisely play to Hunnam’s strengths by leaning heavily into the action and leaving the drama at the door." - Katie Barnes, Washington Herald
"Martin Campbell's skilled vision elevates this Action/Fantasy movie to its full potential, which otherwise could have been a mediocre film. Although Charlie Hunnam's performance wasn't consistently impressive, Jeff Bridges and Sam Heughan's acting drew my attention more." - Hope Williamson, The Age (Australia)
"Norse: Valhalla is a big risk for the studio - a fairly faithful adaptation of Norse mythology. In the end, I'm not sure it all worked greatly. The visuals were nice, but it wasn't the easiest film to follow and the casting was a bit hit or miss. Clearly Ellis and Campbell were setting things up to continue along in the Norse myths, but I'm not sure if I'll be tagging along." - Charlie Sage, HBC-TV
Rated R for bloody violence
