Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 6.2 out of 10 from audiences and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for fantasy fans and action fans. If you loved The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King or The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, start here.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 2 hr 13 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

In this swords-and-sorcery tale, good-hearted blacksmith Eyvind hides away infant Prince Siegfried after two malevolent kings murder his father. But a fiery meteor sent by the gods reveals Siegfried's destiny, sending him on the quest of a lifetime. To save a crumbling kingdom claim the heart of his true love, he'll have to slay the nefarious dragon, Fafnir.
