Looked like it should be good, but lacked

This film looks good, sounds good, has the actors to be good, but dissappoints.Another film that is all about clips that look really good but on watching, it is difficult to feel any real interest in the story coz it is so rambling and jumps about..Other aspects are just unbelievable, nonsense battle scenes etc.This obviously was made with a lavish budget, visually it looks great, but it doesn't make up for the lacking of story. I couldn't help but compare this to 'The 13th Warrior' which does have a good story (similar era)The music, if that's what you call it, quickly began to get on my nerves with the constant 'dirge'.Another irritance was the weird variable accents, sometimes Scottish, bit of Irish, inconsistant mish mash.I kept waiting for it to get interesting, but it never did 6/10 just for visuals.

Appreciated more than enjoyed

I hadn't realized this film was directed by Robert Eggers, else I would've been better prepared. It's not what I expected, and it was hard to really get into.That said, I can appreciate the film for its art. I would say it's a gem for cinephiles. It's like viewing the imagination of a medieval Viking peasant as he listens to a bard tell the tale of Amleth.Great for what it is, but does not evoke emotional connection to the characters, and therefore feels less satisfying.
