No one likes Vikings. Pagan larpers will seethe at this simple fact but they're simply the Black folk of europe; incapable of building anything themselves and dependent on looting from more successful societies that actually produce things
It didn’t know what it wanted to be. Half normie action flick / half historical indie movie. Kinda like valhalla rising. Both these movies are good, but the targeted audience is really small.
incredibly boring plot
Eggers should've adapted the story of Sigurd the Volsung. It's got everything the story of Amleth has as well as going on adventures with Odin and dragon slaying
Eggers couldn’t make it. Would need someone like Wes Anderson or Hackson. It’s a unique story and needs an authentic director. Not someone who would ape epic fantasy or go for the truth behind the “myth”.
>Eggers couldn’t make it.
Probably true. I was just thinking from the perspective of a norse mythology autist which story would be best for a movie in general.
But even good material like the heroic lays in the codex regius would probably suck anyway if they were subverted/ deconstructed by someone like Eggers.
what I hate about new movies how the colorization is so crappy. older movies are so vivid meanwhile new movies are so filled with dark blue hues and shit. movies retained their soul when captured on old film. going digital was a mistake
Same reason Nosforatu will end up flopping. Eggers is most marketable with original movies. No normies wants to watch "the Lion King with viking". Yes I know amleth is the original story Shakespeare's Hamlet is based on which is what the Lion King is based on and my point still stands.
it flopped because the Viking trended had already ended
and it honestly just looked like "muh indie cinematic Vikings show"
Hollywood has forgot how to strike while the iron is hot
i'm so fricking sick of cringe af viking moronatiom frick this garbage
why can't we just get films about actual characters instead of pseudo capeshit garbage
Northman is not a feminist movie, as far as I can see. Women are poisonous or side b***hes to love and protect. It's all about men actualizing themselves and going on their own heroic journey. In fact, it's literally an old onion skit I just watched, now that I think about it.
Theaters hadn't recovered from Covid yet at that point
it was decent, but it would have been a lot better if anya taylor-Joy’s character had fallen into wanton lust with a black warrior
A lot of b***hy-male girly typing and autogynephilia during nonwhite hours, get back to your starlet threads.
it was a mossad produced movie
why it flopped. money laundering
massive cope many altright and wignat alikes praising this movie for its all white cast
>massive cope
it's literally a fact
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnon_Milchan
>raw meat
i don't get it
white nationalist believe if you eat raw meat like viking ancestor its gonna give you massive increase on testosterone
who cares gay the fact white people can't enjoy things for whatever reason is part of the problem
t. moron who eats raw meat
>wtf /misc/ bros
sir, you took a wrong turn
The only time I've ever given a shit about vikings was The 13th Warrior
>shit boring try-hard film
>flops
wow
Midwit plot.
Apocalypto is better.
BAD LUCK TO KILL A SEABIRD
It looks like shit despite having like 5x the budget as The Witch.
>not randomly inserting Black folk into an icelandic saga with no Black folk is racist
>it was actually good because...um...IT JUST WAS OK?!
People asked for a refund the second they saw some Nazi chudcel eating raw meat in their theater. Honestly, I don't blame them.

tried to copy conan and failed
what I hate about new movies how the colorization is so crappy. older movies are so vivid meanwhile new movies are so filled with dark blue hues and shit. movies retained their soul when captured on old film. going digital was a mistake
Someone should have went to jail for failing so badly at redoing conan.
The childhood parts were pretty good actually.
So that's why the call it blu ray
yes, many such sad cases

I enjoyed this film on the first watch, but there wasn't much there for me on my second watch. I think it should have gone weirder.
>I think it should have gone weirder.
Sadly, I think this will be my take after the Nosforatu movie comes out too
>why did a shit movie flopped?
hmmmmmm
>come out in 2022
>only film from that year people still talk about, besides The Whale
the whale was kino
I'm greek, why would I want to watch a movie about demon worshipping savages?
Idk, why WOULD you want to watch yourself in the mirror?
i'm so fricking sick of cringe af viking moronatiom frick this garbage

Having an all-white cast is only 1 factor is a movie being worth watching in current year.
It still has to be good/not made by a feminist basedboy fart sniffer.

I hate all dark gritty colored "historic" movies and I won't see them sorry
I've seen it three times
The bit where Odin comes makes me cry every time
He is lord and I am Odin's man
