You liked it? I went and watched it last night without knowing anything about it. I expected something like the Vikings series and was really let down.
The plot seemed very slow and confusing at times. The pagan scenes were pretty cringeworthy as well. I started laughing out loud during the scene where the Valkyrie is carrying him to Valhalla across her saddle.
My two buddies were with me and we all agreed it was an absolutely awful movie. I went online to see what the critics thought of it and it was 100% positive, saying this is one of the best movies in recent years. Am I crazy? The movie sucked and was way too long imo.

I thought it was fantastic.

It was never going to be very much like this, not with Eggers doing it.

Or, maybe it just wasn't your thing?

I saw it this afternoon. I wouldn't say it suck but it was somewhat confusing and a few scenes were unintentionally humorous.

Was the Valkyrie wearing braces?

Yep. I went to a theatre for the first time since 2012 and to see this film I was thoroughly disappointed. Very slow. Visually appealing but not a good film. I'd speculate that the Director's Cut would be 100x better.
