I thought this movie was amazing, if a little obscure for mainstream viewers. Its plot is essentially that of The Lion King (which is itself a retelling of Hamlet), but done with a violence that is breathtaking. So much attention was paid to the details of costumes, music, and set pieces! The mythology is genuine, and extremely satisfying. I wasn't actually expecting a couple of the plot twists, or the ending, which I think means the writers did a good job. If you enjoyed Game of Thrones or Vikings (I haven't watched the latter myself), you'll probably like this. It's also not a happy movie; the settings and events are bleak, for the most part, but sometimes that's what a movie needs to be. Absolutely worth a watch.
