@frozen: I would highly recommend The Northman. absolutely freaking amazing film. As much as I loved The Batman, I think I enjoyed this even slightly more. Its tone, pace, style, and cinemaphotography share many similarities with The Batman actually, while its soundtracks reminded me of The Witcher video games.
A small reminder though -
The Northman is a very personal and slow-burn grim tale centered around the title character and his one-man-army quest for vengeance. So if you are going in expecting Braveheart/Troy/Spartacus/LOTR grand army-clashing epic-style battle scenes involving thousands, you will be absolutely disappointed. There are a few awesome action scenes full of blood and gore, but it is small-scaled and intimate, so yeah, adjust your expectation before you go in :-)
Instead of Braveheart, this is more like The Batman (the tone and style), meet Hamlet (the protagonist), meet Macbeth (the antagonists), meet Django Unchained (the journey).
