Marked for spoilers due to vague hints*
The Northman has everything it should:
Acting: check, phenomenal actors doing what they do Costumes: check, as well as potato sacks can be Locations: check, gorgeous locations Filmography: check, the movie really is a beautiful viewing experience
But it's just missing that "something" that makes it hit. It is engaging, mostly. The story is fine, perhaps better told, though we did guess two critical points that should've been shocking to the viewer; the twist we guessed early on and another at the end by fluke and mere sarcasm. Is it worth a watch? Sure. Memorable? Mmm It could've been, but again, it's just missing that *thing* that makes a movie epic.
