I actually think it was a short tv series made into a 'movie'. Either way, very enjoyable, the more if you're not too familiar with the Nibelungen saga already. The only problem I had with it is that it's a bit long and that some details don't make too much sense, probably because of time-related footage editing (like with LOTR). But the acting is good, the special effects surprisingly well done and the story packs all the classic elements you could expect from one of the greatest myths of Northern Europe.

Anyway, check it out if you like. You won't be disappointed, very decent movie.
