Plot/Story: 8.4
The story was excellent taking inspirations from historical contexts while trying to create something unique. S1-S4 was probably the best Vikings had to offer but slowly lost its charm as the pacing dragged, plotlines became predictable and lost purpose. The show touches on deep subjects such as religion, culture, war and themes of adaptability and purpose in an ever changing world.
Characters: 8.1
The characters from the earlier seasons leave a great impression with well constructed personality and mannerisms with great writing in the relationships between the characters influenced by Viking culture and norms.
Visuals/Sounds: 9.3
The costume and set designs were fantastic with amazing soundtracks and beats that gave an amazing atmosphere as if the viewer was truly in their world.
Overall a fairly enjoyable show.
Memorable: Sort of, Rewatchable: Maybe.

Once they couldn't adapt the book's materials anymore it went all wrong from there starting in season 8 taking a deep dive in writing. It was amazing all the way until season 8 probably one of the best tv series of all time.
Story: 9.2 (Excluding S8)
The story is amazing with fantastic plot devices and schemes. It has absolutely amazing worldbuilding and I felt like they should have done so much more to share this uncharted and unknown world to the audience. It does have some hiccups here and there and slows a bit too much in pacing for clever schemes and dialogues between characters but those were very minor problems. It relies alot on shock value in the beginning of the season but much less so later down the series but nonetheless with all the "surprises" that I know now I would be less inclined to watch it again.
Characters: 8.7 (Excluding S8)
They were well designed and unique and were unique from one another. The series did an excellent dividing up the episodes with many mini arcs for alot of characters that were important to the story.
Visuals/Music: 10
Nothing to say here, one of the greatest visuals and sound selection of all time especially from a tv series. The level of production put into these parts of the tv series were nothing short of excellent from the set scenes and costume designs
Overall quite an enjoyable series.

Incredibly well made movie and was quite entertaining from start to finish. It was definitely ahead of its time and was setting new boundaries for superheroes comics other than Marvel and DC.
Story: 8.3
The story was very creative set in a unique time period during the 80s with many different plot elements mixed into one pot. It was well directed and the writing and dialogue were pretty good. The pacing for the movie was alright. I felt that it should have been longer and more of a tv series than anything else but nonetheless they tried their best to make it clear cut and short as possible for a movie.
Characters: 8
All the characters were interesting with their own unique quirks and personalities. They didn't go too deep into their backstory and how they grew up.
Visuals/Music: 8.9
The beats matched the set scenes really well and the camera work was perfect. The song selections were a bit questionable and the visuals were excellent with good camera angles and panning. Lastly the comic as the side plot of the story was quite interesting and well animated.
Overall quite an enjoyable movie.
