Review of The Northman (2022) by Beefalo16 — 25 Apr 2022
I went in not knowing anything about the movie. I was horribly disappointed.
The dialog was atrocious, and the manner in which they spoke was ridiculous. I could have sounded more convincing. Now this may be due to some kind of historical accuracy or lost in translation kind of thing. If the latter is the case, I honestly would prefer them to speak in their native language and give me subtitles.
The basic plot was a simple revenge story which would be fine. However, towards the end, the main character suddenly gained plot weakness and did stupid things/wasn't as strong in combat.
Theres a lot of "artsy" scenes with muted/simple colors and people doing strange things like weird dances, acting like animals, etc. Feels like the whole movie was made to try to win an award for cinematography.
Overall the movie was pretty boring as well, wasted a lot of time doing pointless stuff because "fate" had determined when he should strike.
