Review by SnekDok

The Northman

6/10

expected a "vikings"/"the last kingdom"-like epic... its not that.

If you go in thinking its gonna be a war-like epic based on vikings and that era like the popular shows, you'll be disappointed. That doesnt make the movie bad, just not really properly marketed. If you know the director's other work prior, then maybe you can anticipate it... I didn't realize going in.

That said, it's interesting and unique. Has minor action and drags quite a bit overall despite the visuals which go heavily into a fantastical dream-like place. The story in general was much too basic to hold a movie audience for longer than 1.5 hrs, so pushing just over 2 was this movie's biggest weakness I think.

Acting was good, twist was very very predictable, visuals were interesting and production quality was solid. Its decent, despite wanting to maybe see some of the cooler scenes again, its not really a "re-watch" due to the length so I wouldn't say its great... just almost good. There was a lot of grunting and yelling.
