About this movie

In the year of 754 AD, during a time of epic battles and bloodshed, the legend of the pagan warrior king, REDBAD, is born, but so is a new weapon against his people: Christianity. Redbad must ultimately unite a Viking army powerful enough to defeat the seemingly invincible Franks.

Ratings and reviews

This was a terribly written and poorly acted movie, using all the dumb tropes to try and emotionally engage / outrage the audience into following Redbad. Spoon fed drivel.

Absolutely loved it! A great historic action film with an incredible cast of characters. The action scenes are fantastic and the setting is beautiful. I loved Vikings and I am not surprised that I loved REDBAD. Jonathan Banks is amazing. Definitely check it out!

Been holding off from watching this for far too long. I'm Dutch but live abroad, I was in my native country just weeks before this movie released, and sadly missed the release by a hair, preventing me from seeing it in the theaters. Figured I'd buy it on Google Play when available, which I did but been holding off from watching due to some negative reviews until tonight.. man, I wish I didn't, I loved every bit of it. Redbad is one of those people they don't tell you about in school (yet they do about Saint Boniface.. shows history is written by the victors). Great story, yes, it's a longer movie, but the longer "boring" parts (as some call it) were necessary to tell the story. Sure, you can rush it, but it wouldn't have made any sense. Anyways, if you're on the fence like I was, just go watch it, I was pleasantly surprised :)
