wish we got more berserker Amlet history instead they watered down fjolnir and his army instead of ahmlet tactically sacking fjolnirs kingdom. dude didnt even have kingdom. just a farm with slaves and 20 soldiers. That ruined the suspense in the middle part of the movie. Still liked it.
apart from that scene, especially the spear catch and arrow dodge, aswell as the amazing beheading scene at the end it was overall quite a disappointing film! especially with all the hype before release..☹️
An absolute masterpiece. One of the greatest films in the last 30 years of my life. True to history and mythology. Brutal at times, but beautiful. Really well cast, acted, directed, and filmed.
The entire film was a masterclass in authentic-style film-making. It's difficult to believe that Eggers only has three full-length features under his belt but they are all A-grade cinema. The Northman has a simple premise, and isn't shy about telling you what it is going to be about -- but damn if the devil isn't in the details and execution. The actors and the entire crew deserve a big ovation. Great film, if it's still in cinemas near you, do yourself a favor, and go see it. Just be prepared - it's bloody.
It's surreal watching the camera crew , with their modern clothes and equipment, standing in front of a bunch of 10th-century Viking berserkers in a Slavic village made of logs and straw.
Agreed. If you like movies like Kingdom of Heavan, Apocalypto, Passion of the Christ, Gladiator, Kurosawa movies, etc.....then you'll ALSO love this movie.
@@snowfrosty1 agreed, the immersive world & obsessive compulsive dedication to accuracy in this film reminded me most of Apocalypto & maybe Quest for Fire (mostly forgotten)
Love seeing everyone that's involved in making these scenes and films, there's so many people all working as one in the background to achieve a vision and when all the hard work pays off its so satisfying to watch and experiance, also if you haven't seen the film yet see it in the cinema! Music, cinematography, acting all 5 Star and the more we see and support movies of this calibre the more we will get!
Several accounts about berserkers talked about how after the battle was over they would be absolutely worn the hell out, exhausted to the bone and heaving for air because of how much energy they expended in battle compared to 'normal' soldiers.
We get used to see these types of big fight/war scenes on almost twice the speed than we saw in this movie while brutality part stays ordinary too. Northman has its own tempo and bloodshed, you go in sync with its rhythm as you go along. A very intense ride from beginning to end. Might not be for everybody though.
This gave me flashbacks to the scene in Come and See where the Nazis round up Belorussians and force into a barn. Not quite as jarring Come and See but very effective.
Interesting choice to overlay Skarsgard's comments on authenticity with footage of modern machinery and construction techniques as well as a spraypainted facade.
when he knocked that man out of his horse and then killed him by bitting his neck and then start howling like a wolf was just DAMN!
🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀
that beheading at the end stole
the show! brutaaaal
The berserker raid scene was frightening and brutal. No mercy for anyone
*Starts to hear loud howl in the distance*
For real. It was a genuinely distrubing moment and really made you grapple with how dark the main character had become.
Want to go back and watch it again thrilling

Brilliant movie, saw it yesterday on a big screen. Eggers is the most interesting director of his generation.
The ending was absolutely fantastic.
indeed there's no one like him. 3 amazing and peerless movies
Dennis Villeneuve?
I'd put Eggers in a class with Aster, Villeneuve and Garland
Don’t forget aster
The ritual they did before was so metal it melted the screen. Berserkers got down.
This was a masterpiece. The Valkyrie scenes were so rad.
This scene was amazing, this scene was absolutely brutal and breathtaking. Can’t wait to watch it again.
loved it, absolutely brutal 2 hr assault on your senses. Eggers is 3 for 3.
The Northman looks absolutely fantastic.
It WAS absolutely fantastic
What DojaBoyTan said.
go see it!
Isn't this the show where skin heads go crazy over?
@@misanthrope5865 what? This is a 1000 year old viking film...

Raw. Brutal. Epic. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. It's not often we get these types of films that's made this well.

If you liked The Revenant, you will definitely love this movie!
Agreed. If you like movies like Kingdom of Heavan, Apocalypto, Passion of the Christ, Gladiator, Kurosawa movies, etc.....then you'll ALSO love this movie.
It reminded me of the green knight as well
@@snowfrosty1 interesting you mentioned both Apocalypto & Passion but not Braveheart, what gives?
@@QlockworkOrange because that guy has seen zero movies lol
@@snowfrosty1 agreed, the immersive world & obsessive compulsive dedication to accuracy in this film reminded me most of Apocalypto & maybe Quest for Fire (mostly forgotten)
Man, the scenes brought up here had absolute “SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS” energy. Amazing. Robert Eggers is my hero.
Don’t even put Skyrim and the northman in the same sentence.
AGREED, and I’ve been exclusively listening to the Northman and Skyrim scores for the last week lol
dude the scene where he’s tasked with getting the night blade felt like a quest straight out of skyrim. loved this movie
@@THEODSTKING117 no. It’s not based off of Skyrim. It’s based off NORSE mythology and Skyrim TRIED to make itself a Viking game and failed
@@detestor420 why's that? It something only you can do? As you just did yourself.
Can we get this guy to make more historical films? He puts the history in historical

The scene after the raid, where all of them are resting like wolves was so badass
Several accounts about berserkers talked about how after the battle was over they would be absolutely worn the hell out, exhausted to the bone and heaving for air because of how much energy they expended in battle compared to 'normal' soldiers.
@@nerdlydelicious1876 "performance enhancers" will do that.
@@noconnection1839 possibly. Or they just wore themselves out
This will probably end up being my favourite scene of the year. Incredible, exciting, brutal and technically dazzling sequence
This will probably end up being my favorite film of the year
This movie absolutely ROCKED!!!!
Oscar worthy.
THIS MOVIE IS ON PAR WITH SPARTACUS, ZULU, BEOWULF ,GLADIATOR AND MASTER AND COMMANDER. IT WAS A BEAST
One of the greatest films of THIS CENTURY!!!
Best and most accurate viking movie ever made, amazing movie 🌟
one of the best movies ive ever seen. going to see it for a second time soon.
Incredible movie. Beautifully done and masterfully crafted.
We get used to see these types of big fight/war scenes on almost twice the speed than we saw in this movie while brutality part stays ordinary too. Northman has its own tempo and bloodshed, you go in sync with its rhythm as you go along. A very intense ride from beginning to end. Might not be for everybody though.
Such a great Raid scene!! That was a brutal massacre on the village! Alex was badass and ferocious!
Looks incredible. The VVitch was cool and The Lighthouse even better. My favorite up and coming filmmaker.
Movie of the Year! When you watch these vids it’s just hard to say any film was made with more detail and care
Hopefully other directors will follow his example for long takes in action scenes
This scene had my blood boiling 😈 one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time
Alexander Skarsgård is such a talented man!
The whole Skarsgård family is stacked tbh
Amazing movie, saw it yesterday, savage, brutal and impressive!!
extraordinary movie and a really visceral experience
Amazing movie on it's own right, beautiful shots and a great story, highly recommended!!!!!
Breath taking it was definitely that, simply omg as well. That’s how you making a Viking film from now on that’s how Viking films should be made
What a great director. Been following him since the witch. Definitely my favourite modern director with only a few films.
catching this in DOLBY was absolutley amazing!
One of my favorite movies of this year.
Robert Eggers rocks
This is Eric Northman's origin story before he becomes a vampire and ends up in Louisiana.
It will stand the test of time, unlike most modern cinema
The fact that they shot this movie on film is insane
This gave me flashbacks to the scene in Come and See where the Nazis round up Belorussians and force into a barn. Not quite as jarring Come and See but very effective.
The Patriot's church scene lol
Skarsgard would be Aragorn if there was ever a faithful remake of lotr.
Haha Omg there was a shot in the movie of his face with king hair and he looked identical to Vigo!
Movie of the year
Watched it last night blown away. Movies should be made without personal agendas.
The film score was fantastic
Truly epic movie, just saw it earlier today
Amazing movie! Amazing soundtrack! Go watch it in the big screen.
This guy is one of the greats of this generation and his films will go down as classics!
A wonderful movie, one of my favorites ever, just a masterpiece!
Loved loved loved this movie. Alexander Skarsgard is fabulous
just saw this movie yesterday and it was fukn metal!!!
Amon amarth
There were ~hidden~ cuts in that raid scene according to the editor.
Can’t wait to watch this!
An amazing movie. Great drama and action
Brutal and breathtaking
loved this movie!
Isn't coming to cinemas in my country 😭
What a great movie and such a great scene
Amazing in every way.
I’d love to see him discuss the oner after this scene
Epic movie! Loved it!!
The end fight on the volcano is where realism died.
Imagine Eggers directing a super hero movie
Shame this movie technically bombed for its budget, such a fantastic film
.
A masterpiece movie.
Great movie.
great scene
2 words great and graphic!
Interesting choice to overlay Skarsgard's comments on authenticity with footage of modern machinery and construction techniques as well as a spraypainted facade.
Great movie!!!!
Go watch this
did Alex have to keep his arm wide like that all the time? damn..that must be tiring.
Excellent
Release the Eggers cut, the one where they show 🐓
It is amazing!!!
Ranks up there with John Wick among great gory cinematic actions
Robert reeeeally gives a f about his craft. Protect him at all cost.
So did he actually catch the spear?
No
Best scene in the movie
Saw it last night it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeeted that spear back at em
Yeah but does he know the riddle of steel
Eric Northman
He looks like a Viking
At least IGN shows some respect and names the director in the title. Vanity fair only says 'director of Northmen'
this movie is a masterpiece. awooooooo!
Oh no not ign giving us the cinematic experience
That is true cinema!
too bad sam and niko from corridor crew making fun this epic scene.
Historical accurate until the action starts then it goes full ham Hollywood.
It should have been bloodier.
Okay
Aaaa, simpler times.
kvond goe
EDIT: eigenlijk zeer goe zelfs
Must’ve taken a few tries lol.
SHOUT OUT TO 👍♐♐♐♐♐♐♐♐IGN
Y’all have 16 million followers and that’s who is commentating?
It's badass
Better than The Green Knight and The Last Duel?
Absolutely
As a mythic tale The Green Knight works better.
In Green Knight you are inside the legend, and here you are in the psycho mind. Both are excellent and in both you have fox guide ;) Last duel... nah.
