Derek Elley Variety Danish director Gabriel Axel’s Prince of Jutland is a lovingly made, ultra-small-scale yarn that successfully evokes the saga tradition at the cost of jettisoning most audiences in the process. Oct 4, 2022 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide [Prince of Jutland] is epic in structure, but has an intimacy worthy of a small character study. Rated: 3/4 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Will Pinfold Spectrum Culture Prince of Jutland is an unusual, refreshing and slightly bleak film.

Zinjx W Oscar-winning director with a killer cast, down to earth...not Hollywood budget. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone knows that Shakespeare created the Hamlet story. Very few people know that a Danish remake was made years later with a stellar cast putting in an awful collective performance. Why make an adaptation when Shakespeare's original was so perfect? Duh Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Omg how can such a great cast be so awful in this bloody boring ridiculous film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I cannot believe the amount of sub-educated morons here who are calling this a RE-TELLING of Hamlet. Or saying "well it's Shakespeare", no, it bloody isn't. This is is the original story. Bad cinerama or no. Bad acting or no. Hamlet's better? Yeah well Hamlet's the rip-off, eejits. You guys are the same ignoramuses calling the Snow Queen a rip-off of Frozen. Stick to what you know, Yanks, or sit down and learn. I wish someone would do THIS ONE high budget and with better acting (though the actors should have been fine). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Barking Batman.... literally Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review ashley h Prince of Jutland is an okay film. It is about the re-telling of Hamlet based on the original Danish material. Christian Bale and Helen Mirren give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gabriel Axel did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
