Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It earned strong reviews (86% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for people who still love a bit of magic and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Shelve it next to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies or The Odyssey. More of a critics' pick than a crowd-pleaser: worth it if you like something a little different.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 9 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1924: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

When Kriemhild, thirsty for revenge, marries to Etzel, king of the Huns, she invites King Gunther and his court to visit them, intending to finally take the life of the man responsible of her disgrace.
