Let me start by saying I LOVED The Northman. I had small quibbles with it here and there, but nothing major. Well I think Fran Garcia was reading my mind because he made some small adjustments that perfectly adjusted everything I thought about!!!
The reordering of a few parts, such as starting with Amleth on his journey then showing his youth as a flashback, worked great! As did the Chapters formatting, making it more like a play! I mean, great stuff there alone.
Oh and let's not forget FIXING THE COLORING!! I thought the original movie looked amazed but always a bit muted. Well Fran cleaned that up with a more lush color setting throughout. Less of the dull green tint. Dark when it needs to be dark. Bright when it needs to be bright.
THIS is my definitive version of The Northman now!
