I couldn't help but notice, but was the Valkyrie wearing braces?

The CGI was convincing to the extent I'm not sure if any of the onscreen arses were real.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla was a game I dropped 20 hours in because it was unbelievably loving boring. You, a Viking, have to invade all sixteen regions of England and install sixteen puppet leaders. Mafia 3 was grindy though the story was excellent, Valhalla simply took the piss sixteen times. The worst part was how it sanitized the role of the Viking colonials. You go around doing amusing fetch-quests for everyone and you get a game-over for killing a civilian of all things.

I may have dreaded every bit of the raid seen in The Northman, but I loved how it didn't hide how foreign and hosed up the Norse invaders were.

AC Valhalla also let you go to the realms Asgard and Jotunheim, only to make them boring. A true feat, that.

I'm not familiar with the myth of Amleth. How much did the bard nick for his play?

Hellblade would be a good call.

I can confidentially say the pacing in this movie never flags, because every ten minutes or so something brutal or horrifying happens.
