I just watched Valhalla Rising, a Danish film about Vikings and Crusaders. It was everything you imagine a Danish film to be: plodding, self-important, glacially paced, ultimately pointless. It had a "holy shit" moment or two of the bad guy from Casino Royale eviscerating some poor shlub or another, but really you can skip it.
And definitely skip Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, which is a pretty awful Harry Potter clone. Just go back and watch Harry Potter again, you'll be much happier.
