I first read the books, eagerly devouring each one as it came out. I watched the series, and yes, a few times I griped about some of the changes in characters and their deaths, but I still loved the series. I watched the movie last night and to say underwhelmed and disappointed is to say the least. Netflix, you really dropped the ball. It was so rushed that even I had trouble keeping up. You left out a ton of really important characters, (all the strong women), and the ending was lame. I felt you were trying to make him a Christ like figure suspended between heaven, (Valhalla) and earth. You could have easily made this a two part movie or at least an extra hour and come up with a better product over all and for sure a better ending. It felt very forced and cliched to me. One hopeful thought...having left Uhtred still straddling two worlds you have the opportunity to make one more stab (pun intended) at a better movie.
