Movie Reviews of Erik the Viking
Movie Review: Don't let the director's son do any more edits!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this not noticing this was the "director's son's edit". I hope the director's son never edits another movie again! The edit was something a high-school child could have done on his i-mac. Scenes that were once complete now end abruptly and jump around, mouths move with no dialouge, horrible growls were added to fight scenes. . . the list goes on. I plan to sell this back and wait for the original cut to be released in the US.Movie Review: Tired of the funny bits?? Here's a cut for you.
Summary: 1 Stars
Director Terry Jones allowed his son to do the editing for the DVD's version, and--as you see by all the 1-star reviews--the job he did was horrific. It was butchery. Key scenes and lines just tossed out. This should have been reviewed by someone at the studios. Someone who could have uttered MY scream of outrage for me, before it would have been too late.
Get the old VHS. Skip the DVD. Really.
Movie Review: Horrible cut of a comedy classic!
Summary: 1 Stars
Do yourself a favor and do not buy this DVD! This movie has been recut horribly! the edits make the movie move faster in a clumsy sloppy way. There was no need to re-edit the original, which was a fantastic movie! One of my personal favorites.
I hope there will be enough bad reviews of this DVD to prompt a re-release of ETV in it's original format. Truely a bad idea on the part of Terry Jones.
Movie Review: Is there such thing as Zero stars?!?!
Summary: 1 Stars
Do yourself a favor and take the money you were going to spend on this movie, give it to a random stranger and have them kick you in the "boys". There you have just experienced what it feels like watching the Director's cut of this movie. Im no video snob by any means but it's like a child did the editing. Just HORRIBLE! Nothing like the original. Feels like you are watching the movie in fast forwad.Movie Review: completely butchered version of a great movie
Summary: 1 Stars
It's a complete shame that they choose to release Erik the Viking here in the U.S. in this butchered down version of the movie (25% of it has ben removed in this "Director's Cut"). This wouldn't be so bad if they also included the Theatrical version as they are doing with the UK release. As it is there is no way I'm paying any money for this hacked up piece of a once great film.
