Curse of the Ring

Aka. Ring Of The Niebelungs’ or ‘Sword of Xanten’

Movie Synopsis
In the tradition of "The Lord of the Rings" comes this epic fantasy based on the Germanic and Nordic myths. The story is about a young blacksmith Siegfried, who not knowing that he is the heir to a conquered kingdom, becomes popular with the Burgunds by slaying their bane, the dragon Fafnir.

When the reward seems to be a huge treasure, Siegfried ignores the curse that lies on the hoard - which endangers his love to beautiful Norse Warrior Queen Brunhild, Queen of Iceland.

My thoughts
Honestly speaking I had my doubts on ‘Curse of the Ring’; because I thought it was a rip off from the Lord of the Rings.

But after watching it, I was surprised how well they made this movie. I enjoyed the movie tremendously and was awe struck by the strength and beauty of the Norse Warrior Queen Brunhild played by Kristanna Loken.

So when will Hollywood finally wake up to see that you don’t need a $150 million dollar budget and a cast full of celebrities to produce a great movie? Curse of the Ring proves that good stories can be told with enough budget and great talent.

No doubt it’s one of the great sleeper hits of the year 2005.

So till my next post ya, its bye from Ganz.
