If you want more big budget productions like this rather than a constant barrage of comic book adaptations then please for the love of God go out and support this movie.
You can enjoy THIS movie AND comic book movies at the same time man. Don’t have to dismiss comic book films at all. And yes this movie is phenomenal!
@@Gadget-Walkmen You're missing my point. If you want to see movies like this then we need to support it otherwise all we're going to see is comic book movies because they're financially safe to produce.
@@1.21gigawatts2 not entirely as Robert Eggers unconventional films has always been produced and made and there are plenty of movies out there like this that kind made.
And I have no idea where you getting this idea that “comic book movies is all we’re going to see because their financially safe to produce” because that’s completely not true as they have to be GOOD first or else they will end up like Moribus. A financial ruin and their not going to making more of those mistakes on Sony’s part. I get what you mean do and I do support films like this and we should!
Of course I support movies like this as we can have Eggers masterclass films as well as comic book films that are done well!
@@Gadget-Walkmen Interesting that you used Morbius as an example considering it doubled it's budgetary costs at the Box Office. Big budget art house films often aren't financially viable and thus we are seeing less and less of them in the cinemas. A huge example of this is the Last Duel by Ridley Scott. A masterclass of a film that was a financial flop. The Northman will surely follow suit if more butts aren't put in seats. 80 million in production costs and it hasn't even made 25 million back. Studios aren't going to sink large quantities of money into projects like this if it's not going to make them a profit. This is why I said comic book movies are a safe bet. Because 99 percent of the time they will make money. I think you are confusing financial success with critical success.
Also support this to be against the woke sjw inclusionist
Williem DaFoe was born to play these kind of characters, he has a natural weird and surreal vibe that fits perfectly with supernatural roles.

@@owensanfordstuff Sorry I didn't realize I have to molly-coddle the same people as you in order to be able to post here. I'll let you keep enabling these people so that they never learn how to think for themselves instead of regurgitating the same word vomit over and over :O Live and let live right? because THAT's had no problems in implementation the last 4 years eh?
Films like these feel so rare. This will be a timeless classic for me. Robert Eggers and everyone else involved gave it 100%
@Andrew Cookson And thats okay. I know its not something that everyone is going to like. I personally enjoyed the set pieces and background action. The story was rough in some areas but overall was enjoyable. It was interesting trying to see what was real and what wasn't. In their times, these weren't beliefs but rather a reality to them when it came to valkyries and Odin.
I hope we still get more films like these. Robert Eggers is still young so I am impressed so far. Directors like him deserve more opportunities to get better at his art.
Also, some of the complaints you have regarding the "CGI" and "Camera shots" is just his style. Again, not something that everyone will like but to me it gives it this ominous Tim Burton kind of feeling. I like it a lot.
You must be high like every character in this film .. movie was trash ! Story 0 acting 0 .. plot 0 ..
First no story line as to why the father is bad .. the mother did it .. that’s the whole plot twist ? Lol .. who is the crew he raided that village with ? And WHY did he not ask their aid to kill his uncle and take back his land ? Half the men who raided that village could have easily done the job .. just one ship .. didnt need to bran himself a slave and all that bs .. and the most laughable part is that he talks about legacy and lineage and that fuckin stupid tree with dead bodies as it matters !?? He’s fuckin dead and his wife is sent to his kin ? Wait kin ??? Who he couldnt ask to fight with him ? Regardless she will end up getting fucked by some dude or 10 and the kids will belong to someone else .. how stupid is that ? Lol
Movie sucks .. worse one i’ve seen .. ur all here hyping this director like hes the next big thing .. ur taste sucks and ur director sucks even more
@Andrew Cookson what do you mean by "pushed out there with no real analysis or improvement on what they had created." haven't watched it yet just seeing if I should or not.
@@marcus1965 dude an important rule on the internet. never ask for someones opinion on a movie see it for yourself make your own opinion otherwise you will miss out on alot of things that could be great and you wouldnt know because you didnt see it
@Andrew Cookson looks like a bad spinoff of 13th warrior.
I like the shot where Fjölnir raises his helmet. We know well who we would see, and yet this scene is tremendous. The whole movie is cold, dark and fresh in so many ways, and it gives some authentic viking vibes. God bless Robert Eggers, he's doing his job wonderfully.
The simple fact that most of the clothing in the trailer is more historically accurate than 99% of viking movies gives me great hope for this.
Yeah, vikings actually look like vikings.
@@johnlonne7062 It's the desaturated look that gives that impression. Frankly, as much as this looks great, the desaturation of movies and tv shows set in the Middle Ages is really overdone. When they filmed Ivanhoe in the 50s the color and pageantry of the Middle Ages was used to show off Technicolor - today the idea of a colorful medieval movie is laughable.
I don’t know how authentic this is…I don’t see a single piece of black biker leather🤣

I worked on this film as an extra in Belfast and filmed in some scenes with the main cast. Good fun and you are all in for a real treat.
Working with Willem Dafoe on one particular scene was one of the greatest experiences of my life (and definitely something I won't forget!!!) Amazing actor. Enjoy everyone!
Epic!! 👍
Dopeee
@@ruttolomeo1987 No.. Surprisingly not :)
@@ruttolomeo1987 His story was interesting, even if he was just an extra that’s amazing. I hope he enjoyed himself
does he has a long scene?
I'M 69 YEARS OLD FINALLY THEY ARE MAKING DECENT NORSE MOVIES ! I'M NORWEGIAN AND SWEDISH DECENT AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A DECENT VIKING MOVIE!
The sound design of this movie was the best part! The drums and voice effects they used were flawless!
Not to mention the incredible OST
I am sure Eggers will not disappoint. After "The Witch" and "Lighthouse" he became one of my favourite modern filmmakers and I have tremendous amount of respect towards his work
Im sorry but this film looks like everything I didnt want Eggers to make. It already looks so wildly predicable. Ex A list Hollywood, current A list Hollywood, soon to be A list Hollywood and a story line based around s childhood revenge. We've seen this crap a thousand times over and over again. Enough people will watch it to cover it's expenses but it adds absolutely nothing. "I will avenge you father" fucking hell. Holy fucking shit. The lord gave me strength to finish the trailer, he doesn't have enough for me to finish the film. Spare this sort of sound editing for a marvel movie and its just season 98 of vikings.
@@whatifitneversnows you must be really fun at parties
@@lutzaby1997 😂😂🤣 Exactly my thoughts.
@@whatifitneversnows you know nothing about cinema go sit down somewhere you dork.
He could've skipped on the "A list" actors and saved a whole bunch of money. The Witch, which was an awesome movie, had a budget of around $4 million dollars. This movie has a budget of around $110 million. I bet a large portion of that went to a handful of people who could have been replaced by just as capable, but far less expensive, actors.
This looks epic, we are way overdue for a Viking movie like this.
Do anyone watch true blood they changed his storyline
@@marshawnfleming2873 Long overdue
Pathfinder was good but this looks alot better
Valhalla Rising was good....not much dialogue but gruesome fights
HAHAHAHAH!!!!! Even the Valkyrie with braces? JAJAJAJA
Beautifuly shot, well written, and well played. Skarsgard shines in this riveting Viking-Action-Fantasy-Epic.
Vinland: indeed.
They did a really good job making this movie. I was really impressed with the story and how they put it all together. Eyes were stuck to the screen the whole time watching it. Going to check out more movies from Robert Eggers as "The Lighthouse" was made in the same type of way and it was really good too.
also check out The VVitch...amazing film too! (his first movie) 🔥🔥🤓
Bjork’s aura and charisma are so intense that she just needed two seconds in this trailer to burn her presence onto my retinas
x2
so true !!
Same!
My name is bjork and your television is about to explode
i FUCKING LOVE HER
This looks unbelievable. I’m so glad Anya Taylor-Joy and Robert Eggers worked together again!!
can’t forget Willem Dafoe as well!
Does it look unbelievable?
@@whatifitneversnows Ok troll we get it you don’t like this movie that you haven’t even seen yet.
And she’s in his Nosferatu films as well!!!
He like... literally gave her her career. Bet she works with him on the cheap for the rest of time.
Eggers is becoming one of the greatest visionary directors of all time. The Lighthouse is one of my fave films ever and The Northman did not disappoint
Absolutely stunning film. My boyfriend and I saw it in theaters and OMG the power and suspense of this movie is legendary I highly recommend it
I’m so so happy to see Bjork again in a movie . She was breathtaking in dancer in the dark ! Keen to see this !
Dancer in the Dark! What a blast from the indie past!
wait isn't she a music artist??
@@henrymiles1020 yes
@@henrymiles1020 She's not the first music artist to also be an actor. Sting was in quite a few movies, for example. Prince, too. Wonder what is it about single-named musicians taking on film roles lol
@@henrymiles1020 Yup. She is a music artist, and a great actress. She actually won the best actress award at Cannes Film Festival (Dancer in the Dark 2000). She also made the soundtrack for the same movie (which nominated for Oscar)
I loved how unconventional this movie was. The story writer and directors did not give a single shit about making the characters relatable to the 21st century American audience. They just conducted it like the people back then living in the moment.
It was just awful.
They really transported the viewer, it was fascinating

@@cynthiahall3492 This comment made me get a ticket to go check it out. People getting mad because you have - or just wrote - a different opinion is so bizarre.
That definitely sounds good. Therefore we need to check it out. There aren’t many movies like this for us who like historically accurate movies. There shouldn’t be a need to add other groups that actually were never in a certain time.
I went to watch this movie and Dr. Strange 2 with my best friend, and both us preferred this film hands down! One of the best films I have watched in years! It's so raw, brutal and you can see Robert Eggers actually did research! It's almost an anthropological treaty in movie form!
Incredible movie. Director, writers and actors. You could not have picked a better actor to play a Viking. Alexander Skarsgård kills this role
This movie honestly made me respect him. Hope to god he gets more roles like this considering I never cared for him lookwise.
The part when he catches the spear and throws it back is next level badass and well shot. I can’t wait for this one. Definitely gonna be the best Viking movie of our generation.
I was literally about to comment something EXACTLY the same! I went to The Batman on opening night, I saw this preview…
I loved those wolf skin hats/coats they were wearing, and when he catches that fucking spear and chucks it right back at his enemies… I was like, “I’m going to this movie!”
I would wonder what's a better Viking movie at all
Facts
There weren't too many Viking movies in general so this movie is definetly gonna be the best one.
Apparently the Celts did this to the Romans at the Battle of Sabis
This was probably the best historical movie I've watched in a LONG time. It was so unapologetically heathen with no audience-relatable character for people to find a comfort in. Just the brutal reality of these people's worldview - one of war-dancing, magic and the threads of fate to bind it all together. Probably will go see this a second time here soon.
I agree with you. idk if it is based on something historical. But it was brutal. It was like looking into a different worldview. Really nice!
Wow dude, Nixxiom just showing up in random comments.
It's not for everyone, four people walked out half way thru the move!
@@Dulraen it's based on the old tale of Amleth, which Shakespeare made famous when he re-wrote is as "Hamlet" (changed the letters around) and of course the Lion King is based on Hamlet
I absolutely agree! I watched this yesterday and loved LOVED just the sheer raw brutality of it. I've always been fascinated by Norse myth/old norse culture so I knew what I was getting into prior to watching this...I was actually looking forward to the film. While the lady sat next to me kept expressing her shock and disgust at some of the gruesome , "weird" parts of the film, I was just sat there going all "wow" cause I have never seen a film that is, as you said, "unapologetically heathen". Eggers did it again! The first film of his I watched was "The Witch (VVITCH)" and I would also recommend that one for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
we need more movie like this ✊
THANK YOU MR.Robbert Eggers , that was EPIC .
Everyone talking about how good the trailer is, but they're all missing one crucial aspect of it: we finally get to see Alexander Skarsgard as Erik Northman, the Viking prince of legend.
Is he suppose to be the same Viking that becomes a vampire in the True Blood series he played the vampire was named Eric Northman.
Yes. This movie is a prequel to True Blood
@@FollowandEat ROFL
@@lonknight3197 no, it isn't related to true blood
Got one person saying it is a prequel to True Blood and one person saying it is not related to True Blood --- need someone who has seen or worked in movie to tell me which it is please.
Bjork, a Skarsgard, and one of the most historically meticulous directors working today.
This film has the Allfather's blessing.
THIS MOVIE WILL FLOP!!
You forgot Willem Dafoe!
@@Sadude13 how so?
@@FourthExile unknown source material. Skarsgard can’t carry a movie by himself. Taylor joy is not ripe just yet and Bjork? No proper marketing! It won’t make more than 20 million opening weekend and that’s being bullish!
@@Sadude13 Fair points. I'll wager over 20 million after opening weekend. Winner will be awarded an inflated self image. Loser has to do 7 star jumps. Deal?
I watched this recently, and I wasn't disappointed. Actually this trailer didn't quite convince me, but the movie did! An impressive experience. Robert Eggers tried to recreate the mental world of the Vikings with their belief in the reality of their gods and the power of fate. And besides, this story is based on the original Danish legend of prince Hamlet, but naturally very different from Shakespeare's version.
First will be last. Last will be first. Amleth Hamlet. It's a bible film with Christian swines.
It begins AD895. First last/last first. 2291-1229=167+895. 1229-895=2x167. Twin 167. Amleth gets twins. Devil's bible year 1229. It's a devil's bible film.
It's just another 9/11 film. Same stuff all over again.
A hamlet doesn't have a church. After that crashed 9/11 flying horse made of human body parts with twin heads is nailed to that building the hooknose prince goes funny. Then they stand there in front of twin 'church' windows'; the haystacks with the Jesus fish shape tops. Gothic arches. They are in Satan's open air church.
Amleth can be king when he kills the others and when he humps his mother. He doesn't want to. That is dumb.
I can't believe this movie underperformed at the box office! This was an absolute cinematic masterpiece! The story. The cast. The sceneries! Gosh it was breathtaking! The entire run time felt so raw and authentic! I don't know much about viking history but this felt that it was depicted accurately as possible. Alexander Skarsgard is a phenomenal actor. He ate Amleth's character. I just couldn't take my eyes off of him.
If anyone who still haven't seen this work of art, just do it. This is the kind of cinema that should be appreciated more. The hard work is evident, it deserves more recognition!!! Bravo 👏❤️
TRUTH
This movie felt raw, brutal, primitive, dark, mythological and EPIC. Robert Eggers is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors for his pure originality and vision. I feel like the man must spend countless hours studying the time periods he makes movies within and cares so deeply about putting artistic and striking interpretations into all of them. His movies aren't for everyone, but you enjoy his style and purpose, you'll love this movie!
I'm so excited to see it
Yeah it was a bad ass film.
the witch, lighthouse and now the northman, cant wait!! But its not available to stream anywhere

@@Shoegazebasedgenre0. At this point, I suspect ab etching, a new medical procedure to make your abs ALWAYS stand out.
This film is a masterpiece!
It was marketed all wrong. People thought it was just some random brutal 'dude-movie' and it's not.
It's an important milestone in showing the old norse perspective on life in a respectful and true manner.
It is a reimagined version of the Viking tale that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Why is this not at the center of the marketing?!
Of course it's not historically perfect, nothing is, nothing can be. But films like this are important in the face of things like The Last Kingdom or the Viking series, which twists our heritage into fantasy that seems more like Game of Thrones than anything else, all while flat out rewriting historical events and characters. The Northman is not an actual historical event, it's a story, just like the sagas of its time, a story about fate and destiny. It's true to our past culture and beliefs, which is is highly commendable.
I love the way the fantastical/magical elements of The Northman are left to be questioned, as something that occurs only in the mind.
And the music ...wow! What a film!
How was it marked wrong?
@Thrawn23. A year late but it was marketed as an action movie, look at this very trailer, the1 battle sequence in the 2 hour and 15 min run time is shown 4 times in the trailer and that reflects in the reviews, IMDB user ratings littered with people giving out that its too slow, and not enough happens, its a slow, methodical character piece set in a world of norse mythology where the values and the religion if the time are shown to be true, the trailer makes it out to be a non stop swords and saddles battle sequence which it isnt.
this trailer overwrites all laws of
art. i like it so much. this should be the new standard
This was a breath of fresh air from the typical Hollywood movies
I hope Anya and Eggers become one of those iconic director-actor combos. Loved both their work in The Witch, this looks sick!
It's arguable, since Willem Dafoe is also gonna be 2/3 in terms of Eggers filmography
@@StrikeWarlock Anya is also set to be in his Nosferatu adaptation. Willem may or may not be in that film but how funny would it be if he played Nosferatu after his role in Shadow of the Vampire?
Robert Eggers has made 3 of my top 10 movies of all time. This man is awesome
This is REAL CINEMA. Man what a breath of fresh air, i was waiting for a very long time for a movie such as this to come into existence. After years and years of Hollywood pseudo movies, this comes in. Congratulations Robert Eggers and to everybody that worked with him. Thank you for a wonderful example of what CINEMA should be! I gave it a 10/10 on IMDB.
This trailer is glorious. I can only hope the movie lives up to this epic trailer. Can’t wait!!!
I have no doubt that it will. Robert Eggers is incredible

I hope it will not - since trailer is way too Marvel/Action-ish and I doubt Eggers will ever give us such crap.

Best movie of the year? It makes a very solid case for it. It's not a popcorn movie and for that I thank the people who made it. This is cinema.
With a 90 milllion dollar budget, this is the quality (in all cinematic aspects) we all SHOULD expect from a blockbuster. This is raw, serious, and has something valuable for the audience. This might tank, just like The last duel. We have to see it at the cinema, or we might not have more of these movies in a near future.
Its eggers. It won't tank. It'll be fantastic.
i'm going to see this for sure. Looks brilliant
@@robertlee188 I meant it might tank at the box office. The last duel, the most similar title in recent memory, didn't even reach 50 million at the worldwide box office, which is sad.

Watched this again today, for the second time, definitely enjoyed it better then the first viewing about a year ago.

I recommend reading Bernard Cornwells novels, following the life of the warrior Uhtret, until his age of an old man.
His a great warrior, and most of his adult life was bonded to the King Alfred the Great by oath.
As a kid he was kidnapped by Danes, so he speaks there tung, helping him all through his life.
I believe the telling stretches over 8-10 novels. (Haven't counted lately)
- Very highly recommended
Also available in audio. At least in Danish. 👍🙂
Btw. They are novels but, mostly relying on historical facts, each novel ending with telling which and why there are changes in the book.
Awesome movie. No nonsense, no jokes straight Viking.
this trailer was absolutely insane and so immersive. it felt like it was never ending (in a good way.) robert eggers is a phenomenal director and i can’t wait to see this and what else he has in store.

YES! Finally a Viking helmet. As a Swede, who have travelled all around the country this summer, visiting old Norse burial mounds and museums, inspecting objects who have been found - I gotta say that this looks absolutely spectacular. The costumes, the music, the mystical vibe. The Vikings and their Norse ancestors (from the Bronze Age and Vendel period) were professional craftsmen who created astonishing swords, armor and clothes. I got a feeling that they will do a great job with this movie.

Kind of weird seeing a swede confusing regular Swedish folks with vikings who were basically pirates. They created nothing, they murdered and raped and plundered.
Homer's Iliad would be amazing if filmed like this
I’ve been reading Vinland Saga and this movie looks like the closest thing there ever will be to a live-action adaptation of Vinland Saga. I’m especially excited for this film because Alexander Skarsgård is the star. Anytime a Skarsgård is a main character in a film it turns out great.
I thought Lion King already had a "live action" remake. Meh
okay Cameron...I'm challenging your theory. Every Alexander Skarsgard lead movie it turns out great you say? Have you seen Battleship? Yes I know he wasnt the lead to Taylor Kitsch, but he was a lead actor in the movie. Tarzan wasnt that great either. Hes a great actor with lots of great movies. just a few movies aren't that great.
@@smatchimo645 The Lion King is based on Kimba the White Lion and William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
I agree. I saw this and immediately thought vinland saga from his father's death scene to his ventures through adulthood still seeking vengeance
This is actually based on the story of Amleth. A Nordic Saga that was the direct inspiration for Hamlet.
I like how whenever fire or candles are used in scenes Robert Eggers chooses to rely on that light emitting from that source instead of using extra lighting. Gives a more authentic feel for the time period of the movie.

@@TheWayofGrace89 wasn’t Barry Lyndon shot with all natural light?

This is the MOST underrated movie I have ever seen.
Comic stories are great "when they're done well". . This is the Prefect Director, cast, cinematography, storyline, ect.. for a truly epic "CONAN" 9 to 10 "season" series!!
From the earlier E. Howard's; "The Savage sword of Conan the Barberian" I have about 57 of them, and every one is just like this movie! There's is so much great material to make 20 movies like this one. "If they only stick to the entire story"
I loved the frazetta looking like picture in this movie. Great freaking job!!!
It's Robert Eggers' 3rd movie and he has already created masterpieces like VVitch and Lighthouse. This man is crazy, but most importantly, a genius.
Let's just hope this goes BIG! and isn't confined to the arthouse crowd.
@@ulfingvar1 I hope so too. It looks like it might already be palatable for a larger audience as it looks to be more action heavy compared to his last two

One of the best movies recently ..didn't expect to be that good
This movie is filled with symbolism, great ambience, amazing atmosphere, the nordic mythical elements are amazingly presented here, no bullshit and no wokism. Plain brutal fight scenes that although a bit slow, they're well executed and of course the acting is beyond 10 stars
I'm absolutely impressed by this movie and how it doesn't sugarcoat the reality of viking society and culture and the terrors they brought. Especially the image of slavery in viking society and how cruel it was.
The outfits and fighting sucks though for anyone who wants to see something resembling actual history.
@@arminius504 This movie was based on Viking sagas, rather than real history. For the Viking fantasy, this is one of the best movies I've seen.
Stop writing rubbish.
Slavery was and is cruel in all society's that have or had it.
@@JoshuaPaulHollenbeck Aristotle had the correct take
The Skarsgårds already being Vikings playing a Viking role is really just excellent Casting.
Apparently Bill Skarsgard was supposed to be in this movie with his brother but dropped out due to schedule conflict. Imagine if we got to see Bill and Alex Skarsgard in one movie tho
Oddly, the villain guy Claes Bang is danish, so he's also a true viking
Their Dad Stellan is pretty good too.
@@falledreng is he? Thats cool. His name sounds pretty Dutch to me.
@@yoloswaggins9989 he is. Well, both language share some common Germanic ancestry, so I could see why. You do realize Dutch and Danish aren't the same though, right?
This is an extremely good and underrated movie. It's somewhat abstract and theater-like which is unconventional but an interesting and unique take. Highly recommended
I cannot believe some of the negative reviews I've seen of this film. It was one of the most incredibly engaging films I've seen in recent history, the pace felt like Fury Road to me quite honestly. The settings so beautiful, the characters clearly defined, the action incredible. I thought it was brilliant.
This is one of the best films I have ever watched.
I really enjoyed this movie
hadn't thought of the fury road comparison, but you're right!
Do you compare this to Fury road? 😂😂😂😂 Are you for real?
Believe me guys. This did NOT let down. I ADORED this film, i feel Eggers makes films a lot of people wouldn't dare in terms of authenticity. Go and see it.
I agree, just saw it last night and wow the cinema was silent in amazement during the credits, alexander skarsgard was amazing in this role
I was so disappointed, in this MOVIE ❗FINALLY A CHANCE TO REPRESENT THIS CULTURE IN SOME WAY on the screen, and they absolutely BLEW IT ❗We Never get to see viking movie's, and this was horrible ❗🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
@@bradleybetts9339 My audience walked out in total discust❗They hated it, and people spoke to us and said it was horrible ❗
@@stardustgirl2904 Dk what u or your audience was watching but it wasn’t the Northman, for once’s they did Viking’s and Nordic folk right
@@stardustgirl2904 the music, the cinematography, the visuals, choreograph and the dialogue and story was amazing
Some of the shots in this movie look so fuckin’ bad ass. I don’t know what it is about no shaky-cam or no fast-editing with action scenes but they look so much more real when the camera is just there.
I completely agree
You can thank the bourne movies for that shit
Yeah this movie looks super metal
@@821lancevance that’s real talk.
Wow!! A historically accurate film, without a modern political agenda. That is something we don't see anymore these days. This is a breath of fresh air!
Wow!! What a masterpiece this movie was..We need more movies like this.....
We’re blessed to see BJÖRK in a credits sequence once more.
True!!!
Yeah she deserves better than Lars Von Trier
I've been waiting to see Alex Skarsgard in a Viking role on the silver screen .. what a cast ! and Robert Eggers will deliver !
His Tru Blood character was named Eric Northman, now he is The Northman. Looks interesting.
Don't forget about "Techno Viking"
That spear catch is maybe the coolest shit I’ve ever seen.
Movie is so good. Deserves even more attention than it did get. WE NEED MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS.
“Remember for whom you shed your last teardrop...”
I got SHIVERS. Love to see Björk again in the big screen!
Hell, yes. Actual viking helmets and armor, great costume design, music. This is already looking like a masterpiece.
An actual scandinavian as the main character as well
Yeah dude it looks totally like the real vikings from skyrim!
TIL VALHALLA BROTHER
@@kozagong Better than the black leather biker gear and no helmets they wore in the "history" channel show "Vikings"
It's hilarious that you think the quality of the movie has anything to do with the accuracy of the helmets.
@@theblueacorn "Quality" is a sum of many parts. One aspect of which is costume design, many Hollywood productions have lazy horrible historically inaccurate fantasy costume design. The recent movie "The last duel" comes to mind. There are many fans of actual history who notice and are distracted by bad costume design. It would be like watching a WW2 film, and all the soldiers are wearing revolutionary war clothing with muskets that fire like machine guns and wearing plastic helmets. Maybe allot of people would watch that, but anyone who actually knows history would find it hilariously stupid and distracting.
Another aspect of judging the quality of this movie is the excellent cast, and excellent director, the director who has made phenomenally good films.
So glad they made a live action of Vinland Saga.
I saw this on the plane leaving Iceland and what a way to end my trip there! Such a great movie, highly recommend!!
Bjork, a Skarsgard, and one of the most historically meticulous directors working today.
This film has the Allfather's blessing 🔥🔥🔥

Skol !!
Looks better than the garbage from Netflix. I'm hoping you are correct. They could have done with out Nicole Kidman. That kind of ruins it for me.
@@anonymousandy3438 Well shes blond tho.
@@anonymousandy3438 Kidman is brilliant when called on to be, like Dogville or Stoker.
this movie was real cinema. No franchise attached to it, no over-saturated sequels, nothing. It was fantastic all around. Give it a chance over those comic book movies, please
The ceremony with Ethan Hawke and Willem Defoe barking at each other threw me a bit 😅
A bleak, but well-told story
Haven't watched any marvel made movies in ages, all that superhero crap.
Highly insensitive to POC and many other communities. It has been proven that children’s self esteem gets influenced by role models in movies. Children need inclusion, and that applies POC and LGBTQ+ youth.
@@chamade166 insensitive how?
@@chamade166 okay. I’m bisexual and I get it. I want inclusion in my media too. I’m not bashing MCU or superhero movies, I love them. I do. But I don’t get the correlation between me explaining how the Northman is a good movie to me being insensitive to POC and LGBTQ+ people. I love those movies, I’m just suggesting checking out this one as well
only movie of 2022 I feel is actually worth watching so far...
Same
I like how the movie is called Northman, and the actor used to play a character named Eric Northman lmao
high iq comment ngl
Eric Northman is once again "The Northman". Looks like Eggers made a great epic and I can't wait.
Almost thought it was a spinoff of true blood for a second!
@@xXLostNThoughtXx I would watch the hell out of that! I am a bit obsessed with Eric Northman in True Blue haha!
@@jesspercival That would be a good one. Have it take place shortly after Godric turns him. Fight all sorts of ancient evils, or in their case, ancient good's too.
Actually, the Northerners were black....
@@peacepeace4747 yeah because the North only exists in one place lol. You're a genius
There’s some unexplainable magic in regards to Eggers’s directing… He is generational.
cool pfp
I can only imagine how far it will be from any historic accuracy. This sh*t can only be a commy propaganda since they are too scared to make any more crap about Russians.
@@olexandrakharchyshyna2095 You okay friend?
@@christophercolasurdo919 There's a number of very weird people in the comments it would seem
Nothing can become greater than Vinland Saga Anime
This is THE movie of the year
This is probably the most well executed trailer ever.
Not only that, I am living with the pain that I now have to wait months to see it.
Which trailers have you been watching?
I’ve absolutely loved Eggers’ last two films, the Lighthouse was even my top film of 2019. I’m so excited to see what he brings with what appears to be a bigger budget and even more experience.
And that's what I liked about Eggers, try something small scale first for an independent movie, once he has a good experience in that, he can go move on to other big studios like Focus Features for this one. Such a talented director, he has potential to be one of the best directors working today but we'll soon find out with more to come from him
I saw The Lighthouse last year after "The Batman" trailer (cos Pattinson is in it and people said you need to watch it to see Pattinons acting skills). Fantastic movie, glad I saw it
The Witch was phenomenal too!!
I honestly see nothing positive in this. This is so beneath him. Surprised this wasnt followed by the Netflix symbol.
Objectively, especially to those who watched past Bong films, The lighthouse was the actual best film of 2019.
Just watched it, I wished I watched it long ago. I'm not into the old war kinda themed movies but this just hits different. Perfect writing. Can't wait to see part 2.
Seen this movie atleast 6 times but I still come back for this trailer all the time
Skarsgard went from playing Eric Northman to being The Northman. Full circle moment 🏆
Right!?? I was wondering if this was the Eric Northman origin story.
he also played Nicole Kidman's husband in Big Little Lies and now is playing her son ...yikes
@@chelseaclark-martin6357 That's what I was just thinking 🤔😕. ERIC F-CKING NORTHMAN
He's Swedish, so he literally is a Northman.
@@eunicedetoiles9901 I was thinking the same thing lmao. Kind of makes sense tho with their fucked up relationship in the show.
Robert Eggers is one of those rare directors who's probably going to make masterpiece after masterpiece.
He will be considered a cult director in a few years like Scorsese or Tarantino.
Robert Eggers and Denis Villeneuve are the two best visionary directors right now
Unless he gets soaked in Wokism
yes...like villeneuve before him...
@@danielwormald4666 Scorsese isn't cult
This movie makes me wanna hit the gym, fricking boost the hell out of my testosterone.
How did this not get Oscar nominated
It was slightly above average at best. Don't know what the hype is all about. I was waiting to be blown away the whole movie. Movie finished and I was like, Really????
Dear gods, finally a viking movie with good characterization with warriors in chain mail, helmets and costumes of the time, looking forward to seeing this!
Sim mano finalmente
And no hollywood fake "women warriors". Authentic
@@marcusaurelius3487 Nor any shoehorned black people
@@AimForMyHead81 This is a big one; they should make more movies based on African mythology or history rather than shoehorning them into ours
@@marcusaurelius3487 Except there are historical reports of female warriors...
This film was like breathe of fresh air. Finally something serious, made as possible historically accurate, something which actually touches you, something real. Thanks to everyone who did work on this movie, you did great
UPD. Historically accurate not in terms of storyline) I mean historical authenticity and whole respect to the fact how people did actually look and behave in that times. Ofc it's a little bit exaggerated, it's not historical movie, but still it's made with maximum respect
Did you just call this movie... historically accurate?
@@lucasrob98 it’s accurate in the sense that back then, there were little to no morals, no real ‘good’ guys. It was a time of war, pillaging, and hardship.
@@lucasrob98 what isn't historically accurate?
@@Jigsaw2533 You're kidding right? Even Vikings had more historical accuracy than the Norseman and that's saying something lol
@@lucasrob98 - could you give some examples? :)
Already two years ago!! Damn, time flies!!
Ashamed to say I slept on this movie when I first came out, a masterful periodic tale.
I went to the cinema with really low expectations. Never in a million years would I expect something like this. The movie was really good. Big respect to the creators
Is there like some magic sort of abilities in here? Or just pure raw strength?
It's Robert Eggers man how do you even have low expectations for him
@@me-zb7qm ikr. Mf is rtarded.
@@me-zb7qm Probably it was the first movie he saw by him. I am glad I discovered him thanks to The Lighthouse.
@@freedomisourright1609 Yep it was the first movie I saw from him. But I knew he made the lighthouse and I have to watch it as well
