It is a movie based on a Scandinavian legend called Amleth, and it was a major source of inspiration for Shakespeare the day he wrote the story of Hamlet. The movie tells the story of a young Viking prince who seeks revenge for his father's murder. Northman's movie is one of the most beautiful and best movies I've seen in 2022. This movie is amazing in the full sense of the word, despite the negative opinions about the movie. The atmosphere of the film and the way the story was presented was interesting. I enjoyed the stages of revenge that Prince Amleth did. I immersed myself in the world of The Northman from the first 10 minutes and forgot myself due to my vision of a brutal, miserable, cruel, barbaric and cold world, in addition to a strange mixture between realism, fantasy and hallucinations. The nice stuff about the movie is the mention of Norse mythology from Northsimology. If you want these characters, they are in the game The Lord of War. Director Robert Eggers, when he directs any movie, you find his touch and personality in the films he directs, such as The Witch 2015 and The Night House 2019. Robert paid great attention to details, and he wrote the characters beautifully and the dialogues that he writes in his films in a literary form, forming a rich dialogue, but at the same time You find it interesting. The combat scenes were wonderful and were directed beautifully. I have seen many long scenes, scenes that you see as very violent and bloody, and these scenes are difficult for the director to produce in a manner that calls for perfection, given that they require replaying dozens of times. The director knew how to attract the viewers' attention to the furthest limits. The acting of Alexander Skarsgård was excellent. I felt his psychological suffering, in addition to Anna Taylor. She is ingenious and is good at playing any role. If you ask her, if you give her to act as a standing tree, she will do it very well.

MORE SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "The Northman boasts a brutal score worthy of the biggest blockbusters, tremendously elevating a revenge journey filled with Norse mythology and impressive one-take sequences. The typical heavy slow-burn that will bore many audiences hoping for an action extravaganza - it's indeed too long and uneventful - but it remains a must-see of 2022. A strong contender for best cinematography (Jarin Blaschke) of the year. Robert Eggers remains on the right path to becoming a renowned filmmaker. Alexander Skarsgård completely transforms himself into one of the best roles of his career. Highly recommended!" Rating: B+

**So so so so bad. Spare yourself.** “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!” I keep reading all these reviews that claim this movie is gruesomely violent, action-packed, and well-paced. Did we see the same movie? This movie was the furthest from those three things! The Northam is dreadfully slow, with hardly anything happening, and when the few action scenes did happen, they were very poorly done! The only cool part was him catching and throwing back the spear, and I saw that in the trailer. I will say that the visuals and atmosphere of the movie were super well done, but that was it. Do not waste your time!
