It's the weakest of Eggers' movies in my opinion. There's a lot to like here but something about the movie just didn't resonate with me and I can't quite put my finger on it.

The grandiose and authentic look and feel are the real stars of the latest Eggers film. It's silly, savage, mesmerizing, weird, and just playful enough for it stand out from the historical epic crowd. The action sequences are stunning and chilling. The straightforward narrative holds it back from greatness, but Eggers has landed another must-see.

Not as complex or, honestly, as interesting as Eggers' previous works. Still, this film is a rare achievement - a work that earnestly feels more like an epic folk legend than a contemporary Hollywood film. From that point of view, this film is a resounding success.

A brutal & gorgeous dissection of the performativity, rituals and myth-making in masculinity. The game sequence is a stand out in how it's shot to have rich meanings. Eggers amply shows the futility and utter emptiness in vengeance and 'badassery'. Standout moment: a bloodied man who just massacred a village saying: 'these savages will make fine chattel'. It's skewering patriarchy, colonialism, class and all of the invented hierarchies a lot of people still buy into.

I hadn't realized that Hamlet was inspired by this earlier legend, but clearly the story has staying power. This is just a great all out vengeance flick. I definitely appreciated this more straightforward version of an Eggers film.

A basic revenge story that stands out because of its beautiful visuals, realistic depiction of the terrible way of life in viking times and being incredibly metal. While Starsgård and Taylor-Joy could have had better chemistry they both have strong performances on their own. And Nicole Kidman absolutely slays in her role.

I’m happy that this got greenlight with a sizable budget and I got to see it on a big screen, as it’s quite different from the usual selection of sequels & superhero films and contained some pretty wild scenes. But coming from the director of The Witch, it’s a mild disappointment. The world was meticulously crafted and I thought Skarsgård did a good job, but the script was lacking and built like a game with certain quests that the hero must fulfill. Anya-Taylor Joy was not given much to do.

Competently made but difficult to embrace. The story is very abbreviated and some of the characters' motivations / actions don't make sense and / or aren't likeable. It's the kind of movie whose construction you can appreciate but which doesn't emotionally draw you in.

After enjoying "The Lighthouse" immensely, I found this a bit boring and the CGI distracting. The last Kingdom is more interesting.

It's no The Witch, but I enjoyed it more than The Lighthouse even though I'm rating it lower. It's a very well-made fantasy revenge tale constructed like an ancient epic, and probably best viewed on the big screen. Quite gruesome at times. All the great craftsmanship doesn't quite make up for the pervasive, unshakable cheesiness; then again, I would probably have hated this if it had any pretence of wisdom or sophistication. Might make an interesting companion piece to Valhalla Rising.

If there's one thing Robert Eggers's filmography makes abundantly clear, it's that he's a huge fan of farting. And grungy period pieces I guess, but mostly farting. I bet this would have done better at the box office if it was called "Naked Volcano Fight"

Grim viking tale of the sadistic and gory kind. But in a way it has the same faults as the recent Batman movie. It's all serious doom and gloom, and none of the fun. A lot of its potential gets lost in its self-importance. Still an absorbing world even if the characters are stiff caricatures.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. There was just a whole lot of surreal nonsense added that subtracted from it greatly. Alexander Skarsgård is one of my favorites, and he did a stellar job in this. The fault is likely with the director, possibly the writer and editor as well. I could have been a very enjoyable movie, instead at least half of it is quite tedious and boring.

The lack of a single spiritual, transcendent scene is just a bummer. Action material is cool and well-shot, dialogue is just a bunch of screaming and the mythology is merely one sentence. Never thought I would ever say this, but I guess I prefer a clichéd bloated Ridley Scott epic than a 'folk-ish', raw Eggers' one.

At its best this movie is the most balls-to-the-wall rad thing you’ve ever seen with some seriously incredible scenes and visuals. It’s disappointing to see Eggers make so many mainstream concessions, especially with Anya Taylor-Joy’s character, but they’re not as prevalent as I was worrying and definitely don’t take away from the power of the rest for me. Eggers’ worst to date, but that still makes it a killer cinematic experience.

Disappointing follow up to The Lighthouse is probably closer to The Witch in tone and atmosphere. The world building is impressive and credible to a point, and there is some nice imagery, but the revenge narrative is stale, the performances and dialogue vary in quality, and there are unintentionally silly moments that result from its self seriousness. The attempt to incorporate Shakepearean themes largely fails to elevate this tired story as obviously intended.

Visually, the Northman has some powerful visuals and some grave action in this tale of revenge and bloodshed that inspired Hamlet. Eggers is a talented director who creates some incredibly memorable setpieces that standout. The film does suffer from a lack of pacing and especially the final act feels very rushed, compared to the brooding first half of the film. Could be better, but still worth a watch.

Somehow, Eggers keeps making me love flicks I'd otherwise surely be left cold by, evoking Shakespeare no less, and Eggers himself seems duty bound to a sort of dialectic and poetic authenticity that could lend to difficult barrier to entry, yet his worlds are so tactile that it resonates. Eggers with a scope beyond one claustrophobic setting is new, but he manages to evade his epic becoming a dull, monotonic roar by crafting a surprisingly quiet film, and a world that dictates its own tragedies.
May 26	Obdurate	45 _11%
Script lets Eggers down, again, but I don't even think this is as visually stunning as his prior films. There are beautifully shot moments, no doubt, and even some narratively interesting ones, but it drags ultimately. The world is dark and gloomy but feels... a little boring, empty, shallow. Performances are good. The "vision" scenes are corny. Couldn't muster necessary emotion. I was going to give it a passing grade but I have to be honest with myself, I didn't enjoy this, ultimately.

This standard revenge story is visually impressive and as a whole Epic in so many ways yet the realism so important to Eggers is both a strength and a weakness here. A strength in terms of the authenticity and believability that brings an extra level of immersion, but a weakness in that such realism prevents the truly epic scale I wanted here. Eggers tries to get around that by including some visually striking fantasy sequences but those are clearly inferred to be in the head of the characters.

Vikings are cringe but I like revenge stories. The issue here is the protagonist: all he does is speak prophecies and/or scream, and has very bad posture, he's little more than a caveman on steroids and I couldn't care less about his quest.

Skarsgård delivers an effective, raw, and memorable performance in what's undoubtedly the best representation of viking culture ever put to screen. Eggers has a flair for authentic, arresting visuals that truly transport you to another time and place, and that's just as true here as with his other films. Drags a bit in parts, but pays off nicely with an epic final battle and satisfying ending.
