This was a blood-soaked thrill ride, offered by the director of The Witch, and Lighthouse. There is something special here, especially for cinephiles.
Finally a historically correct movie about vikings, not ruined by "woke" bs! A rare treat!
So dumb. This movie is so moronic. So the guy runs away and swears revenge on the man who killed his father. But does he come back with an army at his back? No! He comes back as a dumb slave. And this movie is just boring and yucky,
hollyweird hasnt made a movie this great in years. Everyone saying its bad is stupid and petty... well worth seeing it in theaters
Hardly an original story, re: Hamlet, Conan the Barbarian, but with a seasoned cast which lured me. Decent references to Odin, Icelandic scenery, and social history, but not much more to say about it. Matinee fodder at best. Spoiler alert: blood and guts - literally. I'd like to hope this will be the last ancient/medieval sword and sorcery film made but don't hold your breath.
I have no idea what the writers were thinking on this movie. I could have written a better script about Vikings myself & I have no experience. I just cannot forgive myself for asking my husband to waste 2 hours in that much pain. He was huffing & puffing along with me throughout the whole movie. I just wanted to ask for our money back for the pain & suffering until the end. Please “No” sequel please!!!
Walked out ..
One of the worst movies I've seen in years...and I see them all. Boring plot, horrible overacting. I can't imagine what they were thinking with this script. Don't waste your money on this.
This is a really bad movie. Save yourself the misery.
This is a phenomenal experience. A blood-soaked adaptation of Hamlet set in Viking times. Everything about it is beautiful and engrossing.
