[BA] Game report: A Nibelung's hoard

[Plynkes]

Plynkes !!! WHY!!!

That's why. 
(I did say "It's not brilliant")

Us wargamer types can be a bit precious about this kind of thing, especially when it concerns "our" legends. The trailers for "King Arthur" put me off it to a degree that I still have not seen it. Likewise "Beowulf." That one I will probably watch one day, but at the moment his East End Cockney stylings ("Pass the jellied eels me old China, I've come to kill your MONSTA!!!") are keeping me away.


On the other hand the Nibelungenlied is something I am much less familiar with, I only know it from a child's story book (which probably mangled it too). The film had Max von Sydow+Dragon+Sexy Warrior-Terminator Queen = diverting fun for a while.

I enjoyed it as a bit of a fantasy romp, and it had for me very much a fairy tale feel. If I were a German I should probably have been jumping up and down in rage at what they had done to my legends, like I always do with King Arthur films (except "Excalibur", I still really dig that, mostly).

But I'm not a German, so I didn't.

Ok Ok Plynkes I am not G** so the Warrior-Terminator Queen is hmmmm 

If I were a German I should probably have been jumping up and down in rage at what they had done to my legends,

that is what I do as I see the movie
