As it is kind of becoming Eggers trademark, you either love or hate his movies. This one is no different.
Is it a realistic viking representation? I wouldn't know I'm no expert on that area, but I don't think that is the point of the film. It is definetely not trying to be realisticly accurate.
Is it slow at times, kind of weird, and brutally shocking? Yes that is an Eggers film as it core. Be aware of that.
Is it a very enjoyable, compeling, emotional, dramatic and somehow fantastical film about the obsession of revenge and destiny? Yes, absolutely.
