The Northman (2022)
5/10
Starts Really Well and Goes downhill(s) Fast
25 April 2022
In what comes to visuals, audio, music and Gore this movie is excelent. The history, not so much. Not gonna give information about the plot, just gonna say that I was expecting a Movie with which felt like and adventure, lots of traveling, more (interesting) characters and an history a bit more complex and engaging (kinda like Gladiator).

The Movie Story starts excelent and very promissing, but as soon as the main character goes to Iceland all I saw was a character that had a predictive, and unecessary plan, to achieve a goal, that could have been achieved in the first hours of Iceland, the area that becomes the main location in the movie which makes it BORING and Dragging.

All the spiritual, Isoteric and Viking Costumes are really nice to behold and the first Part for the Movie is excelent and promissing, but for me thats when the Movie ends. I really wanted to Like this but I believe the Dull/Predictive an unecessarely boring story prvented me from further enjoying it.

Just to be clear: I loved the Lighthouse, it was artistic, Grim, Raw and had a crazy-ass Artistic-Play like plot, and that's fine, that's what was expected. But not The Northman. Where is my action, fierce battles, where's the feel of revenge? I guess it got lost while rowing to Iceland.
