Stockholm Bloodbath

This could actually have been great if the aim was a coherent story about one of the most interesting and dramatic events in Nordic history,

Clearly made for a global Generation Z Netflix generation it aims big. It's loud, there's alot of swearing and frequent use of the F-word and the costumes, scale and the vibe is pretty much spot on.

But at the same time it doesn't trust its audience, meaning that danish and swedish actors all speak english, most with an accent. But why? To maximize the potential for it to be a hit when it hits streaming? This is a weird choice for a period piece, Actually it's as cringe as if Hitler spoke english in the epic germanmade movie called 'Der Untergang' ('The Downfall').

But I could forgive all that if I was engaged in the plot. But I wasn't. Imagine that... there's so much they could have done with this. So many directions and opportunites. They just had to stick to one clear narrative. Because one moment it's trying to be Game of Thrones, the next a Shakespearean drama and the next something entirely else.

It was like being served a main course with a steak, a cake and a piece of pineapple on the plate. Each indiviually great tasting it itself, but mixed together....

Mildly entertaining movie, better than many B-grade films. However, the dialogue is modern day, rather than period accurate, which makes it out of place, as is some of the music and dance sequences. There is a lot of strange split screen editing that just doesn't fit. The attempts at humor fall flat, as does the movies attempt to made the female leads into heroic avengers.

If you go in to the movies expecting a historically correct depiction of the events, you will obviously be disappointed. If you are looking for a fun time watching a more "splattery" and fun take of the events you will be fine.

The movie does not take itself serious, so neither should you. Some of the criticism is on point in that it stops being the "Tarantino" type of movie that it starts out as. It slows down a bit and drags on during the second half and some scenes could just have been cut to keep the pace of the movie going. That would my biggest gripe about this film, that is slows down. But, I'm fine with it.

It's a fun watch and worth a ticket.

Mikael Hafstrom shouldn't do movies at all.

I don't know what they were trying to do here.

A side story of revenge could've been so much more but came so short of its goal.

The lines are annoying from start to end, and it almost feels like the actors even realizes themselves how ridiculous their lines are.

The movie tries to be fun and use some Guy Richie influence but it totally just crashes the movie.

The wardrobe also feels over exaggerated and doesn't seem accurate.

The casting isn't very good either, even though some of them are actually good actors.

Kristian II is the only good casted actor but his lines unfortunately destroys his character too.

Really disappointed in what could've been a really great movie.

I had been looking forward to this movie with quite the anticipation and was quite happy to be able to watch it 12/12. However, my excitement was soon squandered.

From the get go we get a Tarantino vibe, the movie resonates Kill-Bill as we get introduced to whom appears to be the protagonist and the antagonists.

Some gallons of blood later the movie turns into a mess between historical, dead serious and embarassing.

I gad such high hopes for this movie but it falls flat because it doesn't know what it wants to be and therefore ends up being the mess that it is.

And the torture drags on. About 150 minutes of where I enjoyed perhaps 20.
