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.

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?
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.
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.
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🤣
@@johnlonne7062 not if they were peasants.
@@johnlonne7062 apparently you didn't notice the Arabic coin being used as a necklace
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.
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
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 looks epic, we are way overdue for a Viking movie like 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 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.
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

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.
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

Bjork’s aura and charisma are so intense that she just needed two seconds in this trailer to burn her presence onto my retinas

so true !!
Same!
My name is bjork and your television is about to explode
i FUCKING LOVE HER
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!

@@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 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?
in the lighthouse they used heaps of extra lights though
@beep boop Kubrick used Zeiss f/0.7 lenses developed by NASA to shoot Barry Lyndon in all natural light, candles indoors. And The Revenant was shot all in natural light, in Alaska or somewhere up north, they often only had 4 hours of usable daylight a day.

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?

Where is Willem Dafoe in this trailer I didn't see him
@@christianvazquez3219 He is the guy that says "Your fate is set and you can not escape it!" to the young Amleth.
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. And the early projections for The Northman range between 4-8 million on the opening weekend in USA. I wish the analysts are wrong this time.
@@rubenmendezhoms3488 some people just wanna watch shite explosions and shitty marvel films. Some of us want to watch real cinema like the northman. Wouldnt worry about how well it does in the box office. Look at the trash that dominates that.
Unlike the corny marvel movies
Beautifuly shot, well written, and well played. Skarsgard shines in this riveting Viking-Action-Fantasy-Epic.
Vinland: indeed.
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.
Was happy to see a realistic look at a grity, violence filled Norse movie. Can't wait
2:09 Did you see the braces?
@@Moondoggy1941 It's not braces. Her teeth are filed. There is a lot of archeological evidence that some 'vikings' did this.
@@broccoliterror Ok good I would hate for that to be a slip up,
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.
The scope is a lot bigger than I was expecting. Robert Eggers has such a uniquely effective vision so I'm excited to see him apply that on a much bigger canvas this time around.

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.
@@smatchimo55 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.
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.

@@raypadgett6569 Same. I usually don't go to the theaters but I make exceptions for directors I want to support.
There is so much to love in this trailer. The artistry of the visual and sound design, the acting, the brutality of it, the attention to detail in the costumes, weapons, and armor, but a detail that I really love to see is the short glimpse at some sort of ritualistic dance with a figure known as "the horned spear dancer" who is connected to Odin and even appears to be missing an eye just like Odin. Seeing that alone gives me such high hopes for this movie.
Yes, the trailer is pretty magnificent, but I can't get over this Hollywood thing of always using old dudes with young girls. It's not believable, but they keep pushing that narrative, as if it's not just money/security that is usually the only motivation. It's distracting to me in this trailer.
Nicole Kidman is 54; Skarsgard is 45: Anya Taylor is 25. HOW THE FUCK CAN NICOLE KIDMAN BE SKARSGARD MUM?!!! I thought she was going to be his love interest when I saw the stars names.

If Alexander Skarsgard does not get the recognition he deserves with this film, I seriously don’t know what else will. He was just… just amazing. The rest of the cast did a fantastic job as well. Felt quite lost at the beginning by not being familiarized with Norse mythology but still enjoyed it well throughout. It was witnessing theater work coming alive on screen.

This is the only thing i've seen Skarsgard in that actually seemed challenging as an actor, but he was electrifying. Phenomenal performance, mesmerizing movie.
Amazing at screaming like a psycho. Very little acting required in this movie
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?

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.
Love the symbolism of the trailer opening on two ravens. Feels like it puts the viewer an a similar level of omniscience as Odin.
THOUGHT AND MEMORY
Robert Eggers might be one of the most impressive directors alive. Two movies, and he’s already seen as legendary. I’m looking forward to watching Northman. Haven’t seen a good Viking film yet, but I’m sure of Eggers’ abilities.
Really ? Did u watching Vikings series before~abt Ragnar saga ?
@@raijinthunderkurg382 nope
@@bunnylegion3969 haha, hypocritical.
@@raijinthunderkurg382 I said that I myself hadn’t seen a good Viking film. Just because I haven’t seen one that you like doesn’t make me a hypocrite. I just haven’t watched it. Also, correct your grammar, dear god. “Did u watching…”
This looks like a good double feature with Valhalla Rising, Nicolas Winding Refn's movie.
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
This movie is so underrated and misunderstood by so many people. It's crazy, I'm very sensitive to on screen violence so there was a lot of this movie I had to turn my head away from but even so, the story and acting and scenery was so stunning that I still enjoyed it immensely!
This looks like a movie where the director actually knows how to make the most of the actors he was entrusted with and where they all understand and share his vision for the film.
This is awesome in the truest sense of the word: A movie the visuals and general atmosphere of which just leave you gaping at the screen in mesmerized awe.
Couldn't Agree with You More. Director is a True Visionary
th-cam.com/channels/CQJStBgP9kmqkOJJx4dV4w.html🙏🙏🙏
After seeing his work on The Witch and The Lighthouse I can only agree, Eggers is a filmmaker to watch very closely. He’s got a bright future
@@divinelymadd4535 what's come of this world when a director is a visionary for not making the shit woke!!? seems like a cool movie
@@johnyman13 I don't think that's what's meant by "visionary".
If you've seen The Witch and "The Lighthouse" and compare it to this you immediately recognize the directors handiwork.
He absolutely excels at directing his actors as well as scene composition and manages to pull you into his movies instantly.
The only time in my life I’ve gone back to the cinema to see a film for the second time… and I’d do it again. A true masterpiece it really is.
You have not lived to see alot of great movies I presume lol

This movie is 99% Viking sagas, mythology and 1% movie. I just fkn love it!
This movie was so unbelievably brutal in every aspect. I can't wait to go again.
Finally a movie trailer that makes me want to actually go to the theater to see it in true epic fashion.
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.
Awesome movie. No nonsense, no jokes straight Viking.
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...
knowing how much effort robert eggers puts into historically accurate stuff this is going to be quite the masterpiece (hopefully)
Only he can say that
Well considering there’s magic and valkyries and shit it’s probably not gonna be that accurate. Looks great though
Considering that Vikings didn't wear helmets, I guess not so much with this one. Also, based on the trailer it doesn't seem to be related to any known viking history. But it will still be a great movie, I have no doubt about that!
@@Spartacus114 I think it is based on icelandic tales, not facts

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.
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.

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.
A blood soaked Viking Hamlet meets Conan the Barbarian. I cannot urge people to go and see this film enough. I cannot remember the last time I went to see a film with my expectations this high, and they were all met. Has definitely become a favourite I will watch again and again, and cheer every time.
By what I've heard the movie is actually based (loosely) on the 13th century story that inspired Shakespeare's Hamlet.
When he low key just snatched that spear out of the sky and sent it back I literally laughed out of pure joy.

Uh no. That was very high key snatched that spear.
@@Qsergio123 I was literally mid-game when I saw that and I had to double check that it wasn't produced by Ubisoft.

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.
I was confusing for Alex Skarsgård for Bill Skarsgård, like damn dude he got swoll for this role.
This looks stunning. I love the main cast but choosing veteran actors for support "Hawke, Defoe & Kidman" is genius with the bonus of Bjork adding some otherwordly chemistry to the ensemble :O

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

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.

Watched this again today, for the second time, definitely enjoyed it better then the first viewing about a year ago.
This movie was absolutely not what I expected. I'm still processing everything. It's one of the most insane movies I've ever seen. Brutal, bizarre at times with the paganism but as far as accurately depicting Viking society and belief systems I can't think of any other movie or series that does it this well. Amazing
Not to even mention that before I saw the movie, and a week before it came out, I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and it said this is based on the original story that inspired the story from the most successful thief, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The original story was called Amleth.
I post Northman clips check em out
Vikings literally did it and even better lol, this movie was a 5/10, too cliché
@Darth Desec the tv series Vikings you bozo. The writing and story of this movie was trash. The cinematography and action scenes is what made it a 5/10
@Darth Desec this movie was made for the simple minded lol
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.
Alexander Skarsgård is really a talented actor.
And a talented body
He's okay. From what I've seen of his filmography, he's average.
@@ComedyBros5 succession,big little lies ...... just okay???
@@ComedyBros5 Agreed. He is very serviceable, but definitely doesn’t have the acting chops of say Oscar Isaac or even Ethan Hawke. I enjoy his style though and he manages to do a good job with most of what he’s given.
Great abs!
This looks so good! As someone who has watched Eggers The Witch and The Lighthouse, this seems like a brilliant way to apply those elements to an epic. Really also gives off Hellblade vibes, which is a real good thing!
Is the witch good? The user ratings is pretty bad
@@sl9wdive Yes it’s fantastic
@@sl9wdive Take the rating with a grain of salt. I don't know what people expected-maybe a run of the mill horror movie? But if you want a horror movie that is based on the real beliefs, folktales, and fever dreams of early American settlers, you can do no better than The VVitch. It's historically accurate supernatural horror, and the accuracy is present even in the language: The way people speak in that movie, both in word choice and accent is precise to the time.
Go in with an open mind and you'll have a good time!
The Witch is very much a special horror film. Not one that relies on cheap jump scares. More about atmosphere and fear of the unknown
I saw Eggers and I was like yup I'm on board for this.
This was the most powerful movie I watched in a very, very, very long time. I will probably watch this 100 times before I die.
One of my favorites of all time, didn’t expect to walk out of the theater thinking that in 2022
Relax man. It's just a movie 😜
Watch it 100 times then die you will go to valhalla.
I'm frankly most excited to see Bjork back on screen after 21 years! She is as good as an actress as she is as a musician. Her performance in Dancer in the Dark gutted me.

Where is she time?
@@rjun152 0:50
What about Jared Leto
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!

This film is very Authentic. He becomes Ulfhednar (berzerker) how they only wear wolf or bear or boar pelt they channel their animal spirit. I think the scene with them all chanting and dancing around the fire was the invoking ceremony. Looks like Wilem Dafoe is the Seer. Ulfhednar go into such a trace they cannot be hurt by steel or flame.

That mantra he tells himself all the way to adulthood is the kind of raw, emotional power I never knew I needed in a revenge film. Aesthetically, the performances, an exceptional cast, and a filmmaker at the top of his game - to say this is my most anticipated film is an understatement.
Kind of reminds me of Arya Stark keeping a list of people she wants to kill and saying their names to herself frequently.
@@TheDukeOfTumwater oh yeah game of thrones that's super cool 😐
Ari aster is making a horror comedy next year too, safe to say I have yet to be disappointed by these two. Both of their movies are my most anticipated so far.
@@Nonresponder01 It’s also gonna star Joaquin Phoenix, who IMO has never given a bad performance.
I’m so ecstatic that this medieval/Icelandic genre of film is making a comeback! Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel was criminally underrated so hopefully this will rectify the genre. The Witch and The Lighthouse are outstanding 10/10 films, and Robert Eggers is one my new favorite rising directors! Can’t wait to see how he tackles this!
The last duel was boring and seemed rushed. The only good part of that movie was the last 20 or so minutes
@@sloanmagnum5009 it’s fine if you feel that way. I can see why people may find it boring and why some considered it a box office bomb. It’s just something I thought was very well presented and riveting from start to finish.
