    The sad part is that Eggers tailored this film specifically for a wider audience, and it still did badly at the box office. People really don't appreciate good cinema anymore. In my opinion it's a masterpiece and something about it really spoke to me and reached right into my soul!⚔️🌋

      Agreed. I hope we get a director's cut or something from before he tailored it. Gorgeous film. I've seen it at least 4 times in the past week. Instantly jumped to a favorite for me.

    I absolutely loved it. I'm a bit sad it has underperformed at the box office, but there are a lot of great films that didn't get as much recognition as they deserved. I am glad The Northman exists, because it is already such a unique film, and I can't wait to see what Robert is working on next.

      Everyone is just sucked into stupid superhero movies now. Dont get me wrong i think Marvel and DC movies are super cool but that shit is just overplayed and overrated now. People forget unique stories with good scripts and story telling. The Northman is a masterpiece in my eyes.

      @@kinglance2132 It doesn't have anything to do with taste, it's everything to do with economics. Superhero movies are not brilliant and truly artistic films, but they are fun, and if I'm gonna spend money to go to the theater which is super expensive these days, I'm gonna watch a Marvel movie. People just don't have the time or the money to watch every film that comes out, even though a movie like The Northman is absolutely artistically superior to your average Marvel. I'd rather wait for it to come out on VOD, streaming or rental and watch it at my own leisure for a practice of the price (or just pirate it for free).

      @kinglance2132 Před 2 lety +4

      @@TheCheat_1337 You got a good point. It seems like it still has to do with what people prefer. Would you still pay to go see a Marvel movie just cause its more economically sensible? Even if it wont be as good as other films? I just think right now a lot of audiences are stuck with watching superhero flicks and a lot of those movies are quite overrated. Spending money to go see a movie that disappoints is still at the end disappointing, so would you think your money was well spent? Just saying Marvel and DC movies get all the hype nowadays. But i guess you're always taking a gamble on the film anyway. The Northman could have very much sucked lol. But thank Odin it was awesome!

    Still haven't seen it. My little brother said it's one of his favorite films.

    This film is the best I have seen in many years. Saw it twice in the cinema.
    The most accurate "viking" film about the Norse and Scandinavian culture to date! As a history-nerd it was incredible to see all the small details, accurate armor and clothing etc.
    The TV series "Vikings" and "Last Kingdom" are not even close.
    I really recommend this film to everyone.👏 🙂

    I think that Eggers should try to make a double narrative movie, maybe set during the third crusade where we get to see from both the Templars and the Ayyubids perspective on it. And I trust that Eggers will make sure that both sides will be sympathetic, so that it neither becomes a christian nor a muslim ego wank.

    I don't think this is entirely on COVID, because films like MCU and Fast & Furious are still making money.
