Boring crap

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 1999)

I love swordfight movies. I love Viking movies. I think Antonio Banderas rocks, and John McTiernan's Die Hard stands as one of the great movies of all time.
But The 13th Warrior sucks. It's so boring, my wife fell asleep. You can't SEE anything, but when there is enough light to see, there's nothing to see anyway. There's not a single shot that impresses the eye. No sweeping vistas or elegant lighting -- hell, not even cool swordplay.
This looks like a bunch of high school students with a camera. There's absolutely nothing to remember -- there's not even BAD highlights, you know, stuff that's just so terrible it stands out. Not even that. I have no idea why this movie was made.
