Epic historical masterpiece ❤️ I don't know what you all think about it but this is my opinion...
If you don't have seen it yet, this is why you should :
For me, it was an incredible experience. One of the best movie I’ve ever seen about Vikings and probably, one of the best historical movie I’ve seen since a long time.
Everything was absolutely perfect (story, characters, backgrounds, places, acting, and so on). It was like living the fate of a young man in the 9th century during 2 hours. I was not used to Eggers movies (first time for me) and I'm not disappointed.
Alexander's performance is beyond words. I forget it was him, I was seeing a true Viking and I hope he'll be awarded for this performance. And Amleth is definitely an other character to add on my list ❤️.
Finally a movie that shows and incorporates Vikings mythology and traditions. I've read that an archeologist, an historian and a specialist were on the set all the time for the historical and traditions points. And you can clearly see the result. It's poetic, beautiful, extraordinary. My favorite was, with no doubt, the Valkyrie who were stunning!
Well, go and watch it asap, you won't regret it! Let me know what you thought of it 😍

Northman thoughts:
I like blood and gore and violence. Good job, Eggers! Lots of good violence
Good visuals and sounds, I like when the atmosphere gets really crazy and intense (wolf transformation fire ring, son father wolf ritual, shaman Björk, Anya magic, Valkyrie)
Also very good embracing of real magic and myths, no shying away to “stay grounded”
Predictable story that’s okay tho
I just wish Amleth got to keep his long hair for longer, i think that was his best look he just looked like a random Swedish man with short hair hahahah
7/10 Better visuals and sound than average but not entirely soul wrenchingly Good

So yeah we went to see that movie The Northman
this past Tuesday and I'll have to say it was
really very good! I don't want to say to much
about it being I don't want to ruin the journey
and I feel this movie is a journey.
where you follow the life of Amleth a one
time prince as he goes on a quest to avenge
the death of his father and the loss of his
family and kingdom. So yeah it is kinda of
a revenge story in a way..
The best way I could maybe describe
this is its like Conan the Barbarian,
The 13th Warrior or Gladiator
its that type of movie but of course
this is dealing with vikings and its
very raw,grim and gritty but is done on
a grand scale.
Its very well acted Alexander Skarsgård
is amazing as Adult Amleth (the Northman)
and I loved Anya Taylor-Joy in this also
I have been seeing her in alot of things
lately if you haven't seen Last Night in Soho
yet you should watch it its great!
Willem Dafoe wasn't in it as long as I
thought he might have been I felt his
role was rather quick but I
was surprised Nicole Kidman was in this
I didn't think she would be in
something like this? but she
does play a good somewhat villain
as the scheming, manipulative and
somewhat incestuous mother of
Alexander Skarsgård Amleth.
the action was really good
it felt raw and hard hitting
it can be kinda violent but
I didn't find it was over the top
I felt it was done in a very
realistic way.
The visuals on this also
were great and especially
the cinematography and camera
work were really amazing
some of the sweeping shots
of the landscapes and everything
were I'd have to say rather
breath taking.
there is subtitles at times
that you have the read but
One thing that I thought was
cool is that they had these
chapter/title cards through out
the movie it was a cool thing to do
other then that with out giving
way too much I thought the movie
was great! the ppl I went with
thought it was too so I would
highly recommend going to see it
I feel its a big movie and deserves
to be seen on the big screen
but yeah I say see it when you have a
chance.
