Atom User Reviews for The Northman

Not sure why anyone has anything good to say about this movie. I was stoked to go see it based on the trailer, but it was pretty bad. Slow, poor story development... a poor story to begin with, and they didn't do anything to make it any better. it's been a long time…

The details in this movie are great. Straightforward story line to understand. Many action packed scenes. Good acting overall. An absolute great movie to watch.

2 1/2 hours of life gone we will never get back. With no entertainment value. Worst movie I have seen in years. My husband and I just kept looking at each other like should we leave this is terrible. When it was finally over we just looked at each other in disbelief.…

It is by far the worst Viking movie ever! Horrible story/plot too much blah blah blah, and not enough action as expected in a Viking movie. Gives Viking genre a bad name.

This is a movie I will definitely see again! I liked the story, the imagery. It's intense and keeps your attention the whole way through. Skarsgard is amazing in this!

Do not watch this movie. It is a terrible low budget film.

First time I have walked out of a movie in years. Horrible

The worst movie I’ve seen in a long time.

Starts off slow, the Norse mythos keeps it interesting. Definitely don’t come on drugs for this one.

Sucks

the young son of a Viking king is saddled with a fateful task of avenging his father and rescuing his captive mother from the hands of the King's ambitious brother. Hypnotic filmmaking with some weird stuff in it, coupled with Shakespearean-style dialog may turn off some…

The first hour is just too slow, it tends to be hard to follow, and I honestly think it would have benefited from better direction.

Terrible story. I expected so much more from such a great cast.

movie was pretty savage. 4.3 stars.

tranports you to viking times. really epic

THIS MOVIE IS PURE TRASH!!

Eggers delivers once again! The man is such a visionary! Love the intensity of his films. Fantastically immersive. Actors perfectly cast. Great performances. I read an article depicting The Northman being this generations "Gladiator". I can definitely understand why. A…

I made it through forty five minutes and walked out. Never again. It was as silly as it was slow, especially the coming of age ritual with the boy. Will not be finishing that movie.

There wasn't a lot of dialog and when there was, I couldn't understand what they were talking about.

It was epic! See this movie on the BIG SCREEN!

Not good. Not great. Somewhere in-between. Definitely worthwhile.

Extremely straightforward, with few surprises, but an excellent delivery of what it promises

Slow paced movie with excellent cinematography. Great acting from the lead and cast members. A pretty good movie.

Movie was great but seats did not recline had to jump around to find one that worked.

It was very slow and anticlimactic.

It was horrible.

it was bad my opinion some of the actor was horrible. I got the story line but all could think bout was True Blood he was a viking in that series and family was killed and he wanted vengeance I wasted my money

Mehhhhh

low budget

So detailed that I never thought I was watching a movie

Beautiful but story was too simple.

What a cinematic treat!

started out good then failed.. had alot of potential such a shame

An impressive movie overall. Skarsgard and Taylor-Joy were impressive.

Great watch for me, im interested in history/ fantasy movies.

Original movie with a great sound track and cast. Best with snacks.

A complete waste of money!

Sequencing is awful with a story line that makes little sense

beautifully crafted film.

Revenge, mythology, and fate. This movie has it all. Amazing visuals and a great cast. I highly recommend you see this film.

wait for redbox

What a movie!!!!!

this is by far the dumbest movie I have ever seen. It was a complete joke.

This movie is everything I wanted and more from an Eggers film. Did not disappoint!

Dramatic Viking movie by the same guy who made the lighthouse

Amazing!

This is for story lovers. It has a great cast, great effects and the mythology was beautiful! The imagery was stunning.

Great movie. Gritty, realistic, and refreshingly not woke!

so much scenes that just should of not been there. i thought this movie was realistic but it was just so dumb. would not recommend. i've seen kids in the theater too. Def not for kids either.

Exactly what I expected from Robert Eggers. Perfect.
