Vikings, Witchcraft, Canabalism...OH MY!!

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2000)

First let me say that I did NOT think this was going to be any good. But I was sorely mistaken! The story chornicles a young Arab poet/scribe exiled as a ambassador to the "North Lands," the land of the Vikings.
Without spoiling anything, Bandaris is thrown in with a young viking lord and his "brave men" to help a fellow Viking King from an evil that threatens his very kingdom.
Mixing just the right amount of humor, action, and plot setup the 13th Warrior is a good movie to watch, or rent. As an added bonus, if there is any Nordic blood in you, the film actually quotes a ancient Viking prayer. The words will effect anyone, whatever there blood. Just as this movie will have you renting it again and again. Might as well just buy it, I did.
