I won free passes to see this movie. Now, the movie featured Nicole Kidman, Australia's national treasure, so we were expecting a great movie.
In short, the movie is set in the late 800s till the early 900s, in the land of the Norsemen (aka Vikings). It tells the familiar tale of a child who sees his father murdered by his father's brother. When the child is grown up, he seeks revenge.
I found the movie extremely violent, blood thirsty and brutal. This I could live with. The movie had a lot of metaphysics, supernatural aspects, that were hard to follow, and distracted from the realism.
The other issue was that everyone spoke with a Norwegian / Swedish / Danish accent to give a great sense of realism. Unfortunately, it did make it hard to understand what the characters were saying.
So did he revenge his father's murder - you will have to see the movie for yourself.
