No one really cares if they had horns or not, it's a myth written my monks, I prefer the look of horns on helmet, just like the Pathfinder movie.

Speak for yourself, I really care.
Complaining about mistakes is almost as bad as complaining about complaining about mistakes.

Just so you all know, there are definitely no horns in the film. The poster was designed by people not involved in making the film.

What a rather sad situation, how on earth can you let something so important for a production be done by someone who has no idea what he's doing?
The main reason I'd probably not see the movie is because of that rubbish poster.
Letting something so important get ruined in such a big way does not give me much trust in the production.

It is indeed sad on many levels. It is also sad that so many people are prepared to rate the film on the strengh of it. Watch the film, then rate it, otherwise what's the point?

Of course, rating a movie based on a poster is silly.

It's not from Hollywood, the horned helmets come from Wagner operas from the 1800s.

@ john_moody130
Where in this film does it depict the Norse as wearing horned helmets, moron?

Even if they did EVERYTHING else wrong, they managed to pick the BIGGEST cliche and mistake about the Vikings, the one thing even kids can point out these days.

Did you live in Viking era and personally oversee the manufacturing of every single viking helmet ever made? You have no idea if any vikings put a horn on their helmet or not. I'm sure someone, somewhere, decorated their helmets a little, and a horn might have been part of it.

Some Viking leaders may had court jesters with horned helmets.
Joke aside.sorry to disappoint you but the Viking warriors really didn't have horned helmets.
Longer time ago i've read somewhere that it was a mistake by an excavation.
The drinking horn was put close to the helmet and the next one thought mistakenly that the horn was on the helmet.
