So let me see if I can get this straight: The Romans have invaded the British Isles and in the process they try to make peace with Viking Druids who worship--Zeus? But they look and act more like Celtics than Vikings. To make matters even more interesting, the Roman governor, "Justinian" (Don Murray) and the attractive Viking Queen, "Salina" (Carita) fall in love and want to get married. But the Druid priest, "Maelgan" (Donald Houston) forbids it and then conspires to start a revolt for which he expects to win because the Celtics (or whatever they are) have chariots which are ideal for heavily wooded areas and the Romans have apparently never fought against an army that has them. Uh...okay. But having said all of that, I must confess that this film was a somewhat entertaining movie to a certain degree. And although some of the combat scenes were a bit...uh...imaginative and the acting left something to be desired, the film had some sexy women in skimpy attire which surely counts for something. Even so, in order for a person to enjoy it, he or she needs to abandon any sense of reality and just go with it. Personally, I wasn't quite able to do it entirely, but that's just me. Slightly below average.
