This movie rules.

The legend of Amleth is literally the inspiration for Shakespeare's Hamlet.

the only problem I have with the Northman is the ending... it could have been a great opportunity to show some brilliantly choreographed sword and shield combat in a metal as fuck setting but it was over quickly everything else is amazing though

[@ResponsibleToTheRealm]

There was maybe an opportunity to do some kind of grand duel ending like Dune, but I liked what they ended up going with. Did you just not like the duel in the volcano specifically?

[@MrJambiwana]

@@ResponsibleToTheRealm yeah pretty much it was fine but they could of actually showcased what sword and shield combat is like with some good choreography, it's more of a minor nit-pick I have than a real problem lol

[@ResponsibleToTheRealm]

Fair enough.

The south man was better

[@RagingDemon99]

I would've enjoyed it but the person I watched it with kept screaming at me like a berserker during the movie and was swinging random objects at me.

[@ResponsibleToTheRealm]

Tell me their name and I will send them flowers

@@ResponsibleToTheRealm I will but I will need to give you their address too, problem is after they killed my dad and took our castle they lost it and now they live on some bum fuck farm somewhere. But ill keep you posted.

Robert Eggers is one of the few filmmakers allowed to create uncompromising, original and startling product in a near-universally woke-trashed entertainment era. The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman are all cinematic triumphs for the discerning viewer. His upcoming version of Nosferatu sets to continue this trend.
