comment
Vikingdom is a 2013 fantasy movie directed by Ysry A. Halim and starring Dominic Purcell and Natassia Malthe. Set in the Middle Ages, where the Nordic people were slowly abandoning their old religion in place for Christianity, Thor the God of Thunder is outraged that mankind has forsaken them and sets out to merge Midgard, Vallhala and Hellheim as punishment by gathering mythic relics and use them before the Blood Eclipse takes place. Eirick, an recently-murdered Norse king who was brought back to life by the goddess Freyja, is tasked with stopping Thor from succeeding and he must form a group of companions to help him venture into the underworld (where none of the gods may enter - only the undead like Eirick himself) to find the Horn of Hel that can banish Thor once its blown.

Poor Communication Kills
 Vikingdom / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: The entire final act. The druid is a Fake Defector, and the horn he gave to the villains is a fake and a trap. When Eirick is defeated the fake horn makes the ritual blow up in Thor and Frey's faces. If he had told any of his allies this the villains would just assume they never escaped their prison, done the ritual, and the end effect would have been exactly the same without all the deaths from the final battle.

Adaptational Villainy: Thor carried the title of "Mankind's protector" and defended Midgard from giants and monsters. Here, he is the Big Bad hellbent on destroying the humans in retaliation for embracing Christianity.

Funny Background Event: A lot, all of them (most probably) unintentional. There's a horse calmly peeing into an artificial shrubbery or an extra slipping and falling on his backside in one of the many fights, then deciding to call it a day and lying down "dead".

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Initially, Thor's generals followed him on the belief that they would conquer Midgard with his leadership and restore the good old days back. After hearing that completing the Blood Eclipse ritual would devastate the world and destroy everything, they attempt turning on him, but he manages to intimidate them into their place. They do desert him at the first opportunity they have.

Defector from Decadence: After being ordered to execute Eirick and his companions, a large company of Beothric's soldiers decide they are through serving a tyrant and join forces with Eirick instead, safely smuggling him out to safety. The remaining loyalists attempt to warn their leader, but in the end join forces with them after Beothric is poisoned.

comment
Physical God: While on Midgard, Thor is a being of flesh and blood, something which other characters point out. He can still be injured, but it doesn't seem to be affected in any lasting manner, even taking a massive ass-kicking from his demigod son, he gets up as if nothing happened. The only way to get rid of him is blowing the Horn of Hel to banish him back to Vallhala.

comment
Dull Surprise: Dominic Purcell throughout the film. He is supposed to be a charismatic king brought back to life that got the goddess of love to fall in love with him. Whether the lack of emotion is the actor's interpretation of an undead king or just not giving a care is up in the air. However, a number of other actors have the same lack of emotion.
