The Northman. Average . 5/10. I didn't hate it. Definitely not as good as movies such the The Witch or The Lighthouse tbf. Decently shot, liked atmospheric soundtrack was okay though, set pieces were half decent , but in terms of the whole experience I think it was very lacking. Quite disappointed considering how hyped I was tbf.

Yeah I just can't.

After watching the Vikings series, I mean, they did the Viking thing as good as you can do it.

I simply can't watch anything else to do with Vikings because its a let down in comparison, so until someone actually does that period some justice I stay well clear.

Other than that, May is gonna be a belter ......... Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness then onto Top Gun 2, it doesn't get much better than that.

Have you watched The Last Kingdom? Set in the same period in England. It's very good.

Vikings Valhalla on Netflix

Set 100 or so years after Vikings. Same universe.

The Last Kingdom is also brilliant. Bebbanburg is my new favourite place

. Agreed Vikings was awesome…The Northman was just average .
The Northman is basically 300 for me but nowhere near as fun or stylish. Also the trailer of the Northman is very deceiving.
How is this the same guy who made The VVitch and The Lighthouse?!

I was basically almost shouting this wannabe Vikings in the cinema .
Btw ! I’m gonna be trapped in the multiverse in May from watching Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Everything Everywhere All At Once the week after. Since it getting a UK release at last. And taking about another Multiverse movie.. The Flash if it ever gets released . With what’s going on with Ezra miller it’s going to be a box office disaster and their new timeline and already hated without mention that Ezra Miller's setbacks jeopardize the sequel. Hey..let’s not forget about the Johnny deep and Amber heard thing as well The DCUE might have to expect it’s over them.

Nicolas Cage:

Someone please explain why his career has happened.

Because I've tried to be reasonable about it but I just see absolutely nothing to justify it.

I don’t mind Nicolas Cage tbf …He has got a decent set of movies. Bringing out the Dead, Face Off, Leaving Las Vegas, Family Man, Mact Stick Men, and on, and on, a good list. Those movies are quality tbf.

National treasure films very underrated

Con Air one of the greats as is gone in 60 seconds.

To answer you and Phil, I have heard of Vikings Valhala but heard its not as good on the reviews, plus one of the Viking Jarls is a black woman ........... I mean, the historian in me just can't, it claims to be the same universe as Vikings but its been doused in PC pixie dust and just doesn't look as authentic.

I mean if they were making a bio-pic of Shaka Zulu and tried to slip in Brad Pitt playing Shaka I wouldn't watch that trash either, so it goes both ways, these are not made up characters or era's so it needs authenticity, if a Director can't respect history and is willing to undermine his film to gain a PC Blue Peters badge then I can't respect his work.

If you make a film about the Song dynasty in China and have Nicholas Cage as the Song Emporer, again, I'm not watching.

As for Last Kingdom ........ I think I watched the first episode and was a but meh but I have heard good things about it so I might give that a whirl.

You won't regret it.

Just finished Dr Strange 2

Wow

He might well be my favourite marvel character now

[UFGN]

If anyone likes a British gangster film and hasn't seen the Long Good Friday, watch it. Interesting from a London perspective too because you see the Docklands before they were developed

.....don't ..... say ...... anything.

I'm going to see it Saturday and the trailers spoiled the fk out of it already.

I was sitting up with GF and that programme where you watch people wacthing their TV was on in the background and those bastards spoiled the entire ending of Peaky Blinders for me, I couldn't believe it and this was only a week or so after Peaky had wrapped.

[Ach]

That's why I watch it on opening day cos there'll always be c****

I need to get back on the Peaky Blinders train
