You can't compare Terry Jones' solo films with Gilliam's. While Gilliam is more of a fantasist, Jones is more of a story guy - you can see it in Erik the Viking from start to finish. Typical MP humor does not serve here as a narrative element, but rather as "ornaments" hanging on the main storyline... I had a very good time for the less than an hour and a half, but I still expected a bit more. Best scenes - the "rape", Cleese giving orders for executions and mutilations, the choral singing of the islanders, the invisibility cloak, the Viking who knows no fear, the berserk. (I don't need to point out that the best moments of the film are the ones with Cleese and Jones, do I?)

Here, I was really disappointed that the ending felt somewhat lost, and there wasn't anything that delivered that final blow. At times, it's great; the humor is excellent, but ultimately, it's the journey itself that's the main focus because the destination isn't really worth much. Good special effects, well-acted, but plot-wise, it’s a bit lacking.
