I couldn't stand it.
It wasn't stylized enough to get a pass and not realistic enough to keep me drawn in.
Right after the first raid, some incredibly buff dude walks by skarsgard and just goes A GOOD HAUL FROM THE FIGHT TODAY while wearing white tighties
It was awful
Genetically the represent a very old lineage.
Their closest modern populations are Europeans.
There used to be more genetic diversity in Europe. The difference between a Brit and an Anatolian was greater than a Brit and a Chinese today.
The oldest Europeans had chinky, slitty eyes.
Audiences can’t handle an actual movie anymore since they are too burnt out on dumbass flashy capeshit nonsense and have totally forgotten what it means to be human. Cinema is a wasteland today.
no it wasn't. it was just shock value.
there was no context as we knew almost nothing about her so she may as well have just started cackling maniacally. her actions didn't even make sense from the pov of self-preservation or seduction.
Filtered plebs. People have been conditioned to need to have these overly complex stories with a thousand things happening and can't comprehend something being so simple.
It was better than Refn's Viking film, but that's really all I can say about it. Decent, very typical for anyone who actually watches film, cgi was goofy.
It was just not a great movie. Weakest Eggers film by far. The dialogue is lacking, the pacing was bad, and the mystical amd realistic elements worked against each other.
Art gays aren't really into the violence, and action plebs aren't into the artistry. It's a great movie aimed at a very small niche, but it will always be remembered and will gain a cult following fo a long time.
I hate mediocre capeshit movies and this movie was simply not great. You homos are inflating this shit because it's not capeshit, but not being capeshit doesn't automatically make something good.
no. i think it's a genuinely good film. it's a solid revenge story. i like that it's simple and still has the style and vision of Robert Eggers. i think it achieves exactly what it wants to achieve. just because you dislike doesn't mean people can't like it other it not being a marvel
OK so you don't have a concrete reason the movie is good. Your reason for liking the movie is just "I liked it." That's fine but not really substantive.
I felt this was a weak movie. The acting was weak. The dialogue was dry and unmemorable. The mystical elements somehow simultaneously drove too much of the plot and had too little payoff. The pacing was bad with three shaman scenes and a lot of padding to fill the lean story. The romance was the most forced shit ever with zero chemistry. The final fight was really stupid. Horribly choreographed with Amleth struggling against a 50 year old man and both of them swinging at each others' swords. It was not a good movie.
The Lighthouse was kino and it was about two fricks stuck on a rock. This was a slog. The elements were not there and did not mesh.
i'm not not saying it's the most perfect film in ever made or that it's egger's best. i'm saying i liked it.
lot of the criticisms you giving are just you saying something is weak without giving concrete reasons as to how.
i thought the acting was good i didn't think it was weak.
i could agree that the dialouge is weaker compared to the witch or lighthouse. it would have been cooler if it was more period accurate but i don't think that makes the film awful.
i liked the romance. i thought chemistry worked and added to Skarsgard's character. without it there's a drama within the narrative and gives the character less choice towards the end of the film
i thought the final fight was really good. the
the mystical elements where really good because it shows you how people perceived life within the period they were in. i don't think it was literal. i thought it added to the movie.
The point of the scene is that it's just two men fighting to the death in the dirt. i don't think it needs to be the most amazingly choreographed scene in the world. it conveys what it needs to convey
i thought a lot of the things you listed were good. I'm sorry I liked a film you personally disliked. it's ok to agree to disagree. people just have different opinions
>i'm not not saying it's the most perfect film in ever made or that it's egger's best
you're not saying it because it's his worst
I liked his first two, hope he'll be able something good after this failure
OK so you don't have a concrete reason the movie is bad. Your reason for not liking the movie is just "I didn't like it." That's fine but not really substantive.
I felt this was a great movie. The acting was great. The dialogue was interesting and memorable. The mystical elements were masterfully incorporated into the plot and had a fitting payoff. The pacing was great, especially the shaman scenes, and overall had very little padding around the lean story. The romance was wonderfully natural with great chemistry. The final fight was really incredible. Realistically choreographed with a wounded Amleth struggling against a fit older man and both of them swinging with reckless abandon. It was a good movie.
The Lighthouse was garbage - it was about two fricks stuck on a rock. That was a slog. The elements were not there and did not mesh.
not arthouse enough for the thinking crowd and not bing bing wahoo enough for the action crowd, the autistic details don't matter when the wooden dialogue and performances are there, also I found the casting to be really bad
This. I thought the casting was fine though. Apparently the director had to make a few big artistic compromises for it to be made. I assume he had to make it easier to follow and make the main character less of a barbarian for mainstream appeal.
>not arthouse enough for the thinking crowd and not bing bing wahoo enough for the action crowd
I disagree with the rest of your post but you're 100% on the money here. I loved the film, but the divide between "arthouse films" and "popular" films seems to be at an all time high, at least of the last 50 years. If the exact same movie had been made in the 80s it would have been a smash hit. Movies that sit in that middleground between artsy and action are great and very underrepresented these days, I hope we see more of them soon.
because everyone has already seen a dozen versions of hamlet, so stripping hamlet down to its barest parts, and adding nothing interesting, wasn't the best way to approach revitalizing hamlet.
I'd bet the average person these days has never seen hamlet let alone more then one version. If it wasn't shown to them in school they probably haven't seen it.
saying something like that is just outing you as being a fricking moron. hamlet is such a basic/fundamental story that literally everyone has seen it a dozen times without realizing it. this is the problem with trying to go back to the roots of fiction, without taking effort to understand why the story has worked so many times.
[genre] fatigue isn't a real concept. its nonsense marketing pukes came up with to basically say >not only is our shit great, its so great that people are tired of how great it is!
because admitting fault is verboten in corporatism.
Just watched it this past weekend. I thought it was good, but not as strong as The VVitch or The Lighthouse. Wonder if Eggers not having final cut had any impact on that.
White fragility and white mediocrity
Absolute disastrous cast
Awful acting from mc and ayy lmao
Vikings speaking English with a funny accent despite marketing it as 'historically accurate' yet randomly spouting a couple words in other languages
Weird mix between action movie and 'artsy' movie, disappointing both crowds
God awful cgi
God awful fighting scenes
Bland cinematography, seriously what scene do you even remember from it other than the weirdo mutt valkyrie?
Budget way too high, diehard Eggers fans only account for like 10 million dollars worldwide and it needed like 180 million to break even
Because it's a long and bleak movie based on the legend of Amleth?
I couldn't stand it.

why does bjork look asian?
Iceland was settled by the finno-ugric sami people, who have a strong Siberean lineage.
>sami people
those are white people right? can they be blonde and blue eyed?
cute

iceland has no indigenous people
A chinese man part of the conquering mongol army has relations with his great-grandmother
Drawn out shots that don’t contribute to the plot/kill the pacing and terrible choreography

too many hwite folks
(real answer: it was kinda shit)
Your first answer was the real answer tho?
The scene his mother revealed she was a psycho was awesome though.
no it wasn't. it was just shock value.
there was no context as we knew almost nothing about her so she may as well have just started cackling maniacally. her actions didn't even make sense from the pov of self-preservation or seduction.
Weak acting, poor pacing, and shitty dialogue.
Filtered plebs. People have been conditioned to need to have these overly complex stories with a thousand things happening and can't comprehend something being so simple.
Yes, most good movies have a plot and aren't a snoozefest.
It was better than Refn's Viking film, but that's really all I can say about it. Decent, very typical for anyone who actually watches film, cgi was goofy.
It was just not a great movie. Weakest Eggers film by far. The dialogue is lacking, the pacing was bad, and the mystical amd realistic elements worked against each other.
Because it was cancelled?
The main character slaughters innocents in the beginning of the movie. I checked out after that.
That's what vikings did, yeah.
Art gays aren't really into the violence, and action plebs aren't into the artistry. It's a great movie aimed at a very small niche, but it will always be remembered and will gain a cult following fo a long time.
based post
these are sóy consoomers
You just described why I enjoy this movie better than I ever could myself
is this because you want to take revenge on someone or because you hate your life in general?
people want mediocre marvel movies
I hate mediocre capeshit movies and this movie was simply not great. You homos are inflating this shit because it's not capeshit, but not being capeshit doesn't automatically make something good.

>Amleth struggling against a 50 year old man
Amleth had just swam like a mile, hiked back to the village, fought like 8 guys, gets cut then stabbed like 6 or 7 times.
Your entries critique is moronic, your the embodiment of the Simpsons comic book guy.
>your the embodiment
Uh huh
Nice one moron.

explain
skarsgård can't carry a film for his life and bogged nicole kidman was offputting, dafoe was good as always but he had a very minor role

NO ONE CARES
Not enough moronic capeshit.

Kids are addicted to dopamine marvel shit these days.

It just wasn't good.
At least it wasn't pozzed
This is on peawiener but i just can't get the urge to watch it
Because it had 0 Black folk in it
Not woke enough
Too smart for dumb audiences and too dumb for smart audiences. I liked it because I'm the ultimate midwit.
>pre-pandemic
>artsy
>rated r
>lots of blood and gore
>historical movie
>bloated budget cause of covid
>lead isn't an a-lister

its a good movie but audiences just aren't ready for it. maybe if it had a few more action sequences people would have saw it.

What did he meme/b8 by this?
FUUUUUCK I MEANT POST-PANDEMIC
FUUUUUUCK
What does that have to do with the quality or reception of the film?
>Why did it flop?
Nicole Kidman's wooden acting.
Just watched it this past weekend. I thought it was good, but not as strong as The VVitch or The Lighthouse. Wonder if Eggers not having final cut had any impact on that.
budget was way too fricking big.
