Yes, it doesn’t follow the book 100%. Yes, there are some goofy or cheesy moments. For a 90s viking adventure though, I think it’s fun.
People might take issue with Banderas playing a Muslim, but Spain was once part of the caliphate that conquered northern Africa. Having a viking who speaks Greek, considering the Kievan Rus had explored the Mediterranean and fought for the Byzantines by now, added to the historical aspects of the story.
Even the original manuscripts get a bit fantasy, so I like to think of it as the movie reeled it back to a more historically accurate story over the greater fantasy on the book.
They just resell Chinese laptops anyway, or used to. I opted for a Framework laptop this time.
