I watched this over the weekend. I didn't hate it, but it was very one note.

I would have liked Amleth to have more reluctance over having to avenge his dad and how doing that was loving up his life and everyone else's. The movie attempted to have a little bit of internal conflict by having him avoid killing his Uncle's son but I thought they could have done more with that angle.

Like it's more or less Viking Hamlet but one of the things that makes Hamlet such a compelling play is there's that undercurrent throughout of doubt that Hamlet has over what he's doing. I didn't feel like Amleth had a whole lot of doubt in this.
