Cool movie!
But IMO, several of the scenes would have worked better if the hi-dollar actors hadn’t been directed to read their lines in such an unnatural, Shakespeare-ish cadence. It was like they were reciting, word for exact word, some ancient poetry— making some scenes feel unnatural and awkward. Sometimes it felt more like I was watching a stage play rather than a Viking flick.

Visually and story-wise, great fun tho.
8/10 for everything except the dialogue, 4/10 on that end.
