Looks old but interesting and a slight copy of The Lord of the Rings. Then again, what fantasy-based film or book isn't these days? Still, it looks rather cool so I think I'll watch it. Rent it from the local library maybe.
@December2012Junkie Actually, the movie is based on an old legend which inspired Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings. At least the part about the Ring. He drew his influences from many sources.
@December2012Junkie Ehhh This movie is based on the Nibelungen-saga which is (at least the most known version) from the year 1200. It's a very old german saga which takes place in a lot of cities that still exist. To say that it is a rip-off of the Lord of the Rings is just.. ehh wrong.
This movie is from an epic poem that takes place, in part, in my home town of Worms Germany...it is a fascinating poem of love, power, betrayal and revenge, this movie did not do this historical poem justice.
"SPOILER" uumm next time you take a bath that makes your skin almost invulnerable make sure there isnt a BIG FUCKING LEAF ON YOUR BACK..... honestly that was such a weak point in the movie itself, just said way to much about how it was going to end lol.
@TekkenPlayer4Life Hahahaha But thats the tale! They didn't invent it. I mean the just can't change a over 800 years old saga just so that it get's more exciting. If they do, well then they can't call it the ring of the nibelungs (it's the name of this movie in german - Der Ring der Nibelungen)...
I've seen better movies... I have a strong feeling that the plot is quite unoriginal. Have seen movies with same plots before. At some parts it awfully remembered me on Hamlet.
@xTernal7 Only that The Nibelungenlied existed before Shakespear was even born. (And before Tolkien *geez*)
It's a Germanic folktale, pupular enough to be told in Iceland and the Scandinavian countries as well. Although they usually didn't tell stories that weren't located in their own country.
what a stupid title, whoever translated this should be killed. this movie is great. magic and treachery have allways betrayed the greatest and the noblest. that is why i have become friends with magic, but im begining to regret it. Odin how do you do it? how did you tame magic?
not a bad rendition for modern times. fritz langs epic is on another level but its still good. they finally found a beautifull brunhilde not some ugly had. siegrfried looks a little like chevy chase lol but thats ok. unfortunatly movies like this is all we have of our glory. now the world belongs to the scum
@Lilithly ... to understand how he did it, just read the original story. Basicly, he hid in a hole in the ground, just outside the cave's entrance. When the dragon crept out, he cut it's throat and it's blood filled the hole Sigfried was in.
@roderik4 actually i did read the original story. but i didn´t notice that part...and actually there are hundreds of different storys. (i´m from germany and it´s quite famous here.) but your siegfried was much smarter than the one i know:)
The movie has different names, as most movies do. This movie was released as a mini series in the US, known as Dark Kingdom - The Dragon King, but was known as Ring of the Nibelungs in other parts of the world. Most movies/series have various names depending where they release.
@piratebri sry but this is exactly the same as if we changed Tristan and Isolde too:
"Love kingdom" or something like this...u cant change the name "nibelungen"! that´s just horrible...it´s a legend and not a fantasy novel written for teenagers...
anyway, this is a great movie:) love the main actor^^
i really amazed with this movie...mixed with various emotions....love,hate,betrayal,greediness...i really appreciate this movie..this is the first time that I watched this movie...and i really appreciate Kristanna Loken for portraying her rule on the movie...what a great performance!
This was on this morning but, as usual when ever it does come on I have to work or something, wish sci-fi would play it at a normal evening time instead of the usual crap fest they play. Oh well, wishful thinking......
ehm...Benno Fürmann in English? Did I miss something? xD But I think I saw this once in German. He's playing Siegfried, isn't he?

The story, dynamics, acting, fight scenes, cinematography, and visual effects of this movie are spectacular.
It's like a hidden story of Nordic legend wrapped into an epic movie.
Actually found out later that there was an opera, Brinhelda, that sparked this movie.
My only complaint is that the dialogue can be very cheesy at times.
i.e. Brinelda crying, "We've only been married for one day!!!"
Good. Needs better dialogue. Personal opinion... :/
