Review of The Northman (2022) by Fadeblack — 22 Apr 2022
Excessively, absurdly violent, with very little in the sense of story and developed characters to give said violence meaning and purpose. I appreciate the talent involved, but it is hard to understand what the film was looking to achieve.
As a mediation on viking violence and Norse lore it is mildly entertaining, but doesn't hold a candle to Valhalla Rising (2009). As far as plot and character go it is all rather one-dimensional, engaging in places, but meandering for the most part.
The score was the best part. Overall would fall short of recommending it.
