You clearly weren't paying attenton

[–] buzzlightbeer (1907) 3 years ago

lol film's story is set up like 10 minutes into the movie. Good thing the kid keeps chanting his plans, in case you missed it the first time XD

Yeah, it's the story Hamlet was based off and at multiple points he states his mission.

[–] buzzlightbeer (1907) 2 years ago

but it was boring as fuck. there was nothing compelling about it whatsoever. yeah i heard those chants, but the response was 'so what'

all i know is it dragged a long time, then i walked out.

There’s a story there somewhere it just isn’t interesting

[–] buzzlightbeer (1907) 2 years ago

exactly.

it was a yawn fest.

i am still mad at tim pool for wasting my time with this. i went in there totally psyched up, the timing was right, i got popcorn and a coke icee, the theater was sparse for a 3pm matinee, ...only to leave very let down.

tim pool said he went back to see it a second time because it was so good. WTF??? now i know i can never trust his opinion on content again, lol

Really looked forward to The Northman cause Alexander Skarsgård is great.
Alas, this movie is totally corny and utter nonsense.
The finish with the 'Ascension' was the worse.
Valkyrie carries his body upwards on her horse to the glooming gates of heaven. 😵‍💫
