Uhtred was a great hero well developed throughout the series. A movie length send off did not do this hero justice. While it was great to see Uhtred enter Valhalla as he deserved, the story was way to brief. Uhtred fans needed more.
The characters and storyline did not develop as well as they would have during an 8 episode season. This certainly could not be a stand alone film. Viewers who did not watch the series would be hard pressed to understand.
Even the very ending was too short. Uhtred battled his entire life for the reward of Valhalla but that scene was but a few seconds.
I really should have given this brief ending to a great series fewer than 8 stars, but I just could not do that to my hero, Uhtred.
