The Northman

Rented it on Amazon. Wasn’t bad, kind of like 13th Warrior meets Conan but not nearly as good.

Still, I liked it a lot. 3 stars is an accurate rating.

First Conan? Haven’t seen 13th Warrior but love that first Conan movie

Yeah the first one. It kind of has the same theme but without the snake cult.

Would I sell Haga to a slayer such as you?

Looking forward to watching it.

Love movies like Conan, Centurion, 13th Warrior etc. All that sword and sorcery stuff. :smiley:

saw it at my local theater and find the film boring.

I watched it a second time since I did rent it from Amazon Prime and I liked it less, not more.

The characters felt so… empty. Small example: I thought Kidman’s character would have a reason for flipping on her son. Like, it would have made sense that she was treating him that way because her “new” son would be a threat to his throne but it turned out that nope, she was just evil and mean.

IMHO, Vikings as a fad are overrated. They are certainly appealing to neo-pagan hippies and black metal freaks.

Vinland Saga is pretty good

I THOUGHT I would love it, I bought it and watched the entire thing and immediately felt like I overpaid lol it was disappointing to me.
