Of course all these negative reviews from the โwokeโ crowd.
If you like Vikings Valhalla on Netflix PLEASE just donโt buy a ticket to see this movie. No African American Vikings in this movie and no biker leather dressed Vikings from History Channel (which isnโt historically accurate either). No women in positions of power. Etc.
This is not a HISTORICAL drama even though the accuracy in the wardrobe, berserkers, pagan Icelandic magic and rituals is spot on. Itโs based on the Norse Saga of Amleth which was the inspiration for Shakespeare to write Hamlet which was the inspiration for The Lion King and Sons of Anarchy.
So I donโt get the whole โI didnโt see the point of the movie at all.โ Ummmm to avenge his father? Pretty simple story mixed in with Norse mythology and pagan rituals plus stuff of legend. I bet if they made this movie about a Native American tribe or African tribe it would get stellar reviews about the culture from the woke crowd.
Complaining about Scandinavian accents? What did you want them to sound like? A fancy British accent?
The violence is not politically correct. Itโs gory and bloody. Fitting for the time period. Itโs a movie about Norse / Danes / Vikings / Warriors. What did you actually think it was going to be like?
If you love history, are into Norse culture including the pagan rituals (Odin, Thor, Freya, Tyr) and into the sagas. This movie is definitely for you. Itโs definitely a little bit of a mindf%%^ but great movie nonetheless and not predictable at all.
And for everyone else go watch Viking Valhallas on Netflix with a black woman Viking chieftain ๐คฃ๐
