This movie was pretty epic. It's such a straightforward story, easy to relate to and yet original in the way it's presented. No overdone, over the top CGI and no crazy twist. It's pretty good and made me feel what they felt. Great actors, great cinematography!

Another Hamlet story that actually warps the concept and makes the audience question which side is actually in the right. I used the term "right" very Loosely considering both factions are beyond morally reprehensible

Eggers is amazing in worldbuilding and setting the scene. In all of his movies its feels like your there and can actually sense the dread/uneasiness or brutality.

Thank you Niyat! This movie was simple but great! I unintentionally had the theatre laughing when we saw the mom get her just deserts along with the step bro😆

This team can just keep making weird, creepy, maybe horror? historical flicks for the rest of time as much as I care. They're REALLY good at it.

I see this director going a lot of places, hopefully he maintains creative control and doesn't get screwed over

4:34 that is not the apirit of his father, that is Odin All Father anyone who knows even a little about norse mythology knows that Odin is always described as a hooded grey beard when he visits the realms and has two ravens perched on his shoulders, Hugin(thought) and Munin(Memory) This movie has a near exact recreation of Sir E. Burne Jones drawings depicting the Norse god

This film was fantastic. Brutal and beautiful, the locations are spectacular. 10/10

This is quite the Viking epic you don't see anymore. It reminds me of CONAN The Barbarian meets BRAVEHEART.

Such an awesome movie. I haven't seen a beautiful movie like this since 2015's Hamlet with Michael Fassbender.

Ah yes, the super buff body that comes from constant exposure to the elements, disease, famine, and extreme stress that comes from living in a pre modern medicine world.

A great movie that unfortunately unperformed in the box office

Yeah this is 100 years before Thorfinn but when I read the DVD box I thought it would be more alike

Was expecting him to dance to techno down a street

When he was captured, it wasn't the spirit of his father, but instead the high one himself (Odinn) rescues amleth.

Crazy movie I saw it

This movie is top notch IMO up there with braveheart & gladiator

Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right: The Movie. That is what the alternate title for The Northman should be

This movie is top fucking tier

My favorite movie, by far. First movie I've actually bothered to go watch in 5 years.

I was so confused watching this nothing made sense to me. I didnt know who to route for who was the villain nor victim?!

I fucking loved this movie 🎬 never disappointed with Rob Egger's. Looking forward to the next project. Hope there's an alternate ending for this, or I can imagine it

It is so insane how big and fucking jacked Alexander Skarsgard can get when he used to look like melted ice cream in his apartment. Now that I'm thinking about it he was always naturally big. I just forgot how big he was in Tarzan.

Dint get a chance to watch it but looks killer and seems like no forgot to put the name for the movie in the last video the horror movies is called THE SADNESS AMD ITS a very graphics movie it's based on the series CROSSED you should do an explanation and a explanation on the disease

Please cover a Writer's odyssey

@filmcomicsexplained he was not a Berserker who are lone bear warriors but a Ulfhednar a pack wolf warrior.

The sword could only be drawn at night

Such a shame that this film tanked at the box office and received no Oscar nominations because the Northman is one of the best films of 2022. I could totally see it gaining a cult following and I can't wait to see what Robert Eggers does next

0:01 is morbius fans when morbius goes into morbin mode😈

2.5 hours of my life that I can’t get back. I wish someone before hand would have told me that the ending was the same result as the latest Bond flick so I could have avoided this snooze fest…

Love the concept and beautiful representation. Maybe instead of every time someone makes a story with their interpretation of a classic (both Shakespeare of this tradition) people scream "cultural appropriation"; we can respect both the source and the remiamaging. Just an old man's thoughts.
