Almost walked out it was so bad, and I hate wasting money.
Very unique movie. Brutal, dirty, barbaric, pagan. The supernatural stuff can be explained both ways: as real, or as visions and beliefs of the main character, so it is as real as he (or you) believe it is. People who know norse mythology only from stupid MCU will be confused. :D Definitely not for kids or people who can´t handle explicit violence.
No story line poor acting
If you want to see a good Viking movie. rent The Vikings with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.
Worst Viking movie EVER MADE....who are the IDIOTS that give it 5 stars? They either have no taste in watching movies or get paid to get people to waste money to see it.
This is a mess. Don't know if they are trying to re tell the story of Beowulf or not but if it was, they butchered it.
This was awful. I want my money back. I feel sorry for Ana Taylor Joy. I hope her career can recover after this
Instead of focusing on telling a good story they decided they want to do as much as they can to make it artsy. So the entire movie is gray drab and boring. Nothing visual to see and the story is bland as heck. The only thing this movie brought out was that medieval Scandinavians are savages, with human sacrifices, slavery, and primitive hoo dooo voodoo.
If you’re interested in Vikings and Norse mythology, this is a must. Cinematically massive. Fascinating characters and Kidman brought her A game. Be prepared to sit for the whole thing, don’t want to miss a minute.
Weak premise Little character development I almost walked out several occasions due to lack of appeal / quality Vikings tv series way better...
