Robert Eggers' "The Northman" challenges traditional Hollywood blockbusters with its bold and unconventional approach to storytelling. The film follows Amleth, a Viking warrior prince seeking vengeance for his lost kingdom in Scandinavia. Alexander Skarsgård's powerful performance as Amleth captures the character's unwavering resolve and unrelenting fury. Visually, "The Northman" is stunning, with elaborate tracking shots and razor-sharp editing that bring the brutal and savage world to life, evoking a sense of primal instincts and animalistic behavior. However, while Eggers' brand of horror is bolder than ever, the film's themes of toxic masculinity and revenge are not always effectively conveyed, leading to an uneven viewing experience. Nonetheless, "The Northman" is an ambitious and striking film that demands its audience's attention. Eggers' exploration of psychological shock and ancient mythology is evident throughout the film, making it a departure from traditional Hollywood blockbusters. "The Northman" is a challenging and thought-provoking cinematic experience.

In the scene in which the Úlfhéðnar attack the Slavic town, Amleth catches a spear in midair and throws it back at the Slavs in one movement. This is taken from the medieval Icelandic story of Njáls saga in which Audolf throws a spear at the Viking hero Gunnar, but Gunnar catches it in midair and throws it straight through Audolf and his shield.
Most of the title card runes do not match the subtitled translation; rather, they use a period accurate term.The runic title cards read: Hrafnsey - Raven Island (North Atlantic)Garðariki - Kyvian Rus' (Land of the Rus)Ísland - Iceland (Iceland)Draugsþatr - Draug's chapter (The Night Blade Feeds)Helgrindi - Hell-Gate (The Gates of Hell)Amloðasaga - Saga of Amleth (The Northman).
Queen Gudrun's headpiece is of Finnish design. It's intended to be loot from one of Aurvandil's wars.
Director Robert Eggers worked with historians and did meticulous research into the period, to make sets, costumes and props as authentic as possible, while also going back to a period before Christianity influenced Viking culture. Professor Neil Price, archaeologist at Uppsala University in Sweden who worked on the movie, later stated that "the Northman might be the most accurate Viking movie ever made." Eggers did admit that there were few historic references for Amleth's initiation ritual, making it "probably the most fictional ritual in the movie."
The plot is very loosely based on the story of Amleth, which appears in the Gesta Danorum (History of the Danes), a collection of oral traditions written around 1200 by Saxo Grammaticus. Amleth inspired Shakespeare's Hamlet, though it is doubtful that Shakespeare read Grammaticus directly.
"Young Amleth: I will avenge you, Father! I will save you, Mother! I will kill you, Fjölnir!"
"He-Witch: You must choose between kindness for your kin, and hatred for your enemies."
