Review of The Last King

I watched the English dubbed version of Birkebeinerne. I wished it would have been in Norvegian though because dubbed versions most of the time are just no good enough. You lose the feel of reality. And with this one it wasn't good either. The voices just sounded fake to the story. It made the actors look like amateurs. I'm sure they're not but they're also not the greatest actors ever. Even not with their original voices. The story is to weak to be entertaining. In fact the only thing that I thought was good were the skiing shots and the beautiful snowy scenery's. But the story was just not great, even if it was based on a true story. It looked all made by amateurs. The singing and praying didn't do any good either to the story. I really doubt that in that time there were a lot of Catholics in those regions. More heathens so the praying scenes made it look unreal. So to me the only good thing about this movie was the skiing. At least there was a lot of it in Birkebeinerne.
