, 64% Audience Score- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsA poor man's 300. The cinematography and production was quite good, but it is barely a movie.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsReally? 10 out of 10? the acting is really good but this type of epic story needs to be a trilogy or a mini series , i feel like the story keeps skipping forward very quickly and there's no real time to simmer in the story or the feeling of being alive at the time maybe if the movie was twice as long
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsFantastic film, very solid revenge story. Probably the most accurate historical depiction of the "Viking age" aside from just a few things. The characters are brutal, the fight scenes are awesome. And I loved every second of it. It's not over dialogue heavy, and plenty is said in few words. The acting is very well done. Eggers nails the Grimdark nature of the period. A masterclass in film with a classic story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsInteresting but not amazing. It deserves to be seen once, no more. Bloodish, raw and almost monochromatic. If you are interested in Viking justice then you should watch it, if not maybe this one is not for you. Very good music, good and authentic performances.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsSuperb! Brilliant cast all excels in character. Very well written, amazing cinematography, breathtaking scenery and locations. LOTS of action, twists and turns and suspense. Very gripping and captivating
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsAnother brilliant banger from Eggers. It's a dreary epic drenched in blood with gorgeous set pieces and balls of steel. The Shakespearean story satisfies with an conclusion that black metal bands dream of.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsIf you like endless blood and gore, this is for you. Adds nothing new particularly about death and revenge. Landscape where it was filmed outweighs most everything else. Watch Michael Fassbender in Macbeth. A thousand times better than this. Marion Cotillatd as Lady Macbeth a thousand times better than surgically face frozen Nicole Kidman. Shakespear's subtlety of characters, their strengths and weakness does a dance way beyond this with his Hamlet.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsIt's too long. There are multiple instances where the movie could've ended but they kept on adding runtime without really providing substance. The supernatural elements are stunting the development of the story and the night time adventures of Amleth are over the top ridiculous.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 starsEasily the worst Viking movie I've ever seen! And probably the most pointless movie of all time. Shocking writing and a storyline that goes absolutely nowhere. Should have been amazing given its cast but you could tell within 5 minutes that it was going to be crap. Super disappointed.
- Rating: 1.5 out of 5 starsIt’s just a rewrapped Gladiator. Great cast, but couldn’t get over the feeling that I had seen this exact movie before.
