The series “Vikings” has become one of the most watched of the last decade and one of the most followed series. But these warriors have starred in all kinds of scenes in the cinema and on the small screen… From the most innocent and charming like Vicky, the little adventurer who was born in the 70s, to other characters that have accompanied us until today like Ragnar Lothbrok .
Beyond television series, there are some Viking movies that we can watch online and that will take us to a world of fantasy, adventure, and mythology. Viking movies of all kinds: if you’re looking for animated classics, if you want Marvel superheroes and superpowers (who doesn’t know Thor?) or if you’re looking for some genre classics like Beowulf.
Valhalla Rising
Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, Valhalla Rising tells the story of One Eye (Mads Mikkelsen), a Viking slave who manages to free himself from his owners after a bloody maneuver, managing to escape with the help of the only survivor of the carnage, a boy . Both will embark on a journey that will take them to the holy land after embarking on a ship manned by Christian Vikings.
Set in the Middle Ages, in the 10th century, and recorded entirely in Scotland, it is one of the best Viking movies that we can see, although it is not suitable for the sensitive: Valhalla Rising will show us, with raw violence and pain, how One Eye lives a series of misadventures to find out who he really is .

“How to train your dragon” is one of the best Viking movies to enjoy with the family. An animated film, perfect to watch with the little ones in the house, that tells the story of Hiccup, a teenage Viking who is nothing like the rest of his tribe. The inhabitants of Berk Island are expert dragon slayers. It is just what is expected of Hiccup: that he become a great hunter because his father, Stoick the Vast, is the chief of the village. When Hiccup has the opportunity to hunt his first dragon, one of the most dangerous, he realizes that the dragon is injured and cannot find the courage to finish the job. This makes Hiccup find a great friend in the dragon whom he will call Toothless, with whom he will try to change the point of view and the customs of his entire village.
