    Das Nibelungenlied

    A poetic homage to an immortal epic for ages retold.

    Siegfried the Hero and Hagen the murderer (which is no spoilers, the story was known to us over 900 years).

    The battle scenes are epic, the dialogue is a bit shakespearean, hence i can understand that the modern audience (i hate to use the word zoomers so i wont) will find it dull (i loved it: macbeth flashbacks).

    I found it refreshing overall.

    All classical characters of Nibelungenlied are in the movie and they are loyal to their characters in a range of extend

    This one explores the psychological motives behind the characters, their endeavours and the tragic result. (or was is tragic?)

    It's like always - expensive doesn't have to be good

    II was so looking forward to seeing this old German saga made into a movie and was disappointed Language : did they always speak so stiltedly ? Since it's a fiction story, could the people involved have spoken as normal people? Screenplay: tried to be modern, not very plausible text.

    Actors: trying very hard to appear "historical". What did the director tell them ? Speak nobly and behave as if you are high-born ? I don't want to offend anyone , but the director asked for too little emotion . Only Niewöhner makes an effort .

    Camera : static and boring Soundtrack : without memorable melodies , when I think of the soundtrack to Gladiator for example , I have to cry . PS : the riding of the actors could have been trained instead of inserting fake pictures . It is sad how this great saga was processed . The result at the box office confirms my assessment .

    Modern Version of German NIBELUNGENLIED

    This film shows a modified version of the all too familiar NIBELUNGENLIED. No wonder, this time the original comes from the fantasy novel HAGEN VON TRONJE written by the German fantasy writer Wolfgang HOHLBEIN. A "German Game of Thrones" was not the result, but the directing duo, who have already made the German-Austrian quality series DER PASS with Julia JENTSCH and Nicholas OFCZAREK, are putting in a lot of effort.

    The NIBELUNGENLIED was written around 1200 and is considered the high point of Medieval German literature. Unlike in the films by Fritz LANG (1924) and Harald REINL (1966), the story here is told from the perspective of Hagen von Tronje, who has previously been seen as the ruthless murderer of the shining hero Siegfried von Xanten.

    In the current film, Hagen (Gijs NABER) is the benevolent protector of Kriemhild and her brothers, who are being challenged by the charismatic, radiant Siegfried (Jannis NIEWÖHNER) in a populist manner. This is an approach that tells the story of the Nibelungs in a less idealistic and more politically pragmatic way. There is intrigue and murder, almost like in Shakespeare's plays.

    The German mini-major studio CONSTANTIN FILM has not been stingy and has delivered a real fantasy gem, which is unfortunately rather unusual for German-language cinema. Unfortunately, audiences in German-speaking countries have not quite gone along with it. So far (as of December 21, 2024), the film has only been able to attract 177,167 visitors to the cinemas, which corresponds to a box office of 1,912,444 EURO.

    Hopefully the film will still be watched by many after its theatrical release! It's worth it!

    Epic! I waited years for this !

    As someone who grew up reading the source material and especially the interpretation by Hohlbein from the POV of Hagen, i have been waiting for a state of the art adaption of Song of the Nibelungs ever since I saw my first Lord of the Rings Movie. I never had high hopes it would get made because despite being one of the most influential historical epics of all time, hollywood has always been blissfully ignorant.

    Now a european production has finally stepped in, and i am here for it!

    The filmmaking is superb. The visuals are stunning. Everything looks realistic yet stylish, and the sword fights are down to earth yet filmed in a way that makes you feel the weight and impact of each strike.

    Qualitiy of performances varies, but the main characters all deliver. Everyone has botteled up emotions to deal with, you know what they feel by looking in their eyes, everything is handled with a minimum of dialogue and a maximum of context to make you understand the driving forces behind each character. It does not feel like just another fantasy film, but more like a dark, tragic saga that hints but never 100% commits to the supernatural elements of its plot, similar to projects like "The Northman" by Robert Eggers or the "Hellblade" video game.

    If you are into sagas and gritty medieval dramas, or if you are a fan of the source material like i am, this one is for you!

    half a star for a terrible, just awful movie experience

    The film is said to have cost 40 million euros. (There will also be a TV series made of the movie, or it was filmed simultaneously. ). Anyway, the result is just sad and embarrassing.

    First mistake. Boring as hell of screenplay.

    Second mistake: Boring actors, or rather, what are they supposed to play given such a lousy script? The box office in Germany was a disaster. Not even 200,000 viewers in theaters. Not to be recommended at all. No TV series with X to Z episodes will fix that either.

    Maybe the filmmakers should have just watched Game of Thrones or one of the really good Viking series to see how to entertain in an exciting way.
